My work revolves around constructing highly detailed, futuristic structures that resemble cities, industrial complexes or even digital organisms.The environments/structures often feel isolated, suspended or disconnected from any natural world due to alienation, technological dominance and the consequences of rapid urban or digital expansion. (Image credit: Peter Olschinsky)This image presents a massive, floating architectural structure that feels both futuristic and industrial. The composition is dominated by sharp, geometric forms, stacked platforms, exposed frameworks and interconnected corridors that create a sense of complexity and precision. The greyscale palette, enhanced with subtle red and cyan offsets, gives the image a glitch-like, digital distortion effect.(If you need the tools to start out in 3D art yourself, see our guides to the best 3D modelling software and the best laptops for 3D modelling).How I build a scene 01. Experimenting with composition I’ve built up a library of over 10,000 shapes created in MoI 3D, Shapr3D or Blender. I begin by selecting a few structures from it, experimenting with scale, positioning and the relationship between positive and negative space. It’s very important that the composition works without texturing and lighting. I generate dozens of camera setups to find the best one – this is crucial. (Image credit: Peter Olschinsky) 02. Adding textures and lighting effects I experiment with various textures, letting my intuition guide me. I take a similar approach with lighting, changing the mood and atmosphere quite arbitrarily. This often takes the most time, since last-minute changes to textures and materials can still occur. The most important thing is that the mood and the structures/shapes work together to tell the final story. 03. Overpainting in Photoshop Once I’m happy with the final composition and have added textures and lighting, it’s rendered in Blender. I then further transform the artwork in Adobe Photoshop through experimental overpainting, where I incorporate abstract structures, glitch effects and vintage tones that add a sense of timelessness to my otherwise technological narrative.
