Circuit Central

Circuit Central

This piece was born out of my childhood fascination with computer motherboards and how they resembled cities, Northbridge and Southbridge chipsets became office buildings and RAM DIMMs became tall slim apartment towers in this piece.

World Steps

World Steps

I created World Steps as one of my first ever Voxel models and used it to play around with lighting and color in a way that would inspire happiness and lightness in the viewer. This piece also served as the opener for my first ever solo art gallery show.

LeVeL

LeVeL

Serving as a cousin to World Steps I created this second Voxel model to play around with space and form as perceived from an isometric angle.

LeVeL II

LeVeL II

Serving as a sister to LeVeL I created this Voxel model using the inverted skeleton of LeVeL to rebuild it with the primary visual focus to be on the water elements.

Day-glow

Day-glow

This was the first thing I ever sculpted in MagicaVoxel and has gone under the most number of iterations by far. It’s extensive lighting and depth calculations were responsible for my computer overheating on many occasions.

Neon Night

Neon Night

This was one of the last pieces that I created for my first art gallery show Organic as Inorganic and despite looking 2D I actually made it in a Voxel modeling tool called MagicaVoxel, the same as Circuit Central and World Steps among others.

Fusion Falls

Fusion Falls

This piece is special in my fine art collection as I sculpted the foreground island in MagicaVoxel and rendered it out then painted the background in Hexels 3.1 using its advanced lighting tools, finally compositing them together in Photoshop to create the final work for printing.

CityScape

CityScape

This was my first ever piece in Hexels 3.1 and was also my first piece to sell from my gallery show, Organic as Inorganic. I hand painted it and then used the lighting tools in Hexels to give the flat 2D aesthetic the glow that I wanted.
