Yes, I used a combo of 3d and photoshop for this piece. Love integrating the 3d. I used to work only in a mix of adobe illustrator, photoshop, and traditional media. Then I started working with a 3d artist at my office job who inspired me to explore 3d. Once I started playing with it - I was hooked. It adds so much flexibility to my illustration process. Introduces so many additional creative options.
was this made into 3D models first and then you painted the whole piece in Photoshop? it looks like a sculpture. Very nice use of shading and lighting. So impressive
