M3D for the first, the shape derived mainly by a panoramic distortion , it was quite difficult to render because was impossible zoom in and i had to crop a lot of empty space around (it is also rotated of 90°)

For the second the BG is a Droste distortion of the first, and there is a scaled down copy of the original stone on top on the right side

Nice work - especially the second one.

Pc, both of those are beautiful. That granite in the first one looks so real. KUDO's

I really like these PhotoComix.
But... I am seeing them in the view of jewelery.
I think you should be involved in jewlery design. It's very good money.
This one in particular... some of the design could be a lovely broach or necklace addon piece.

i would love a similar job, i even badly need a job now but i will not know how to get in contact with the right people

also for what i posted here i didn't care much about reproducibility as real 3d object , but i could take care to make object printable by 3d printer (if printable are also reproducible with other tecniques

i would really love a similar work

PhotoComix



Start here:
-Costume Jewlery or 14K gold plated/brass/sterling silver pieces.
-Draw it up so that it look like an actual jewerly piece.
-Colorize/metalize/glitterize it and make it look realistic.
-Make sure you consider that it will not be too heavy a piece to wear.
-Make sure you do matching sets: Necklace, Bracelet, Earrings.
-Go in person to some jewlery stores and show your mockups and ask them for advice. If they really like it they may want to order some pieces... with some orders you can invest some money to get molds made and make multiple pieces for sale.

everything sound doable till the last point
i live too far from a big town more here there is really a big economic crisis so many artisan closed and that still going are or too volgair or too snobbish...sure there is still high quality production but i am not adapt to try a similar promotion..

not a preconception years ago i had occasion to know, spend nice time and even work with people in the fashion business and i even made friendship wit a guy that was making design for jewels

but then for me was much easier i had a nice place in the old center of the city...more a loft then a house but very in tune with many things happening...come friends visitors, invite to concerts and theaters and that kind of energy that make new contact easier

Please don't misunderstand me , if instead then a proper flat was a big caravan strategically parked in some cool place i would made working the same

Alas i had to move years ago to my old father house, quite isolate and far from the city and that totally killed my social life..and anyway make me not to adapt to go to sell in that way...no now and here

that will change soon because i am again moving from Italy but i fear that West Africa may be not the best place for find clients...

humm..maybe the contrary i may well try once there may be worth to try
