I really dig when an artist starts a series of illustration with a certain theme. To see a set of artworks with cohesive style is pretty awesome, and when I got to find the work of American illustrator Jade Mere I felt the urge to share it so that everyone could appreciate it. These are some very nice pieces featuring fantastic beasts. What I find to be the coolest part of it is that what makes most of these fantastic is a not crazy form or an alien-like anatomy, but the details, like a stripe, a color, an arabesque. It's like something you'd see in the Narnia universe.
One thing I've always wanted to learn but have never been able to focus on was 3D. Despite the lack of skills in this field I still love checking out 3D work that designers put together on Behance and other websites. The project So Hexy is one of these projects, a really cool mix of 3D with an awesome idea, the hexagons creating cubicle areas. The project was created by Anatoly Bazarob and it's definitely worth checking it out. Hello! My name is Anatoly Bazarob (Kid Cut), i'm 24 years old designer from Moscow.
Hearing news from Adode MAX where they introduced (coming soon) the Project Felix. A product where you’ll be able to easily create 2D and 3D assets, that sounds like it could be amazing. While it’s coming soon, we rather appreciate what’s been done by artists in Autodesk 3DS MAX where I feel there is more control for your composites, lighting and etc.
Let's kickstart this week with a series of gradient exploration by Yuliya Shumilina, a Miami-based designer. I love these! If you remove the factor of the colour palette, I just liked how each pieces create an atmosphere with the shapes, shadows and lighting. Especially the lighting, it's just gradients but it does have a sense of depth across. This can definitely go into abstract art, what do you guys think?
