August - Blue Steel

Client: nevermindful
Role: Design, Illustration
Tools: Photoshop, Illustrator, Cinema4D
Year: 2018
A suprise for an unsuspecting desert valley — ‘August - Blue Steel’ was a calendar commission for nevermindful 2018, and a fun opportunity to explore a combination of two of my favorite things these days: pixel art and 3D to create an unconventional calendar for the month of August.

Background Plate illustrated & textured in Photoshop
3D elements build, layed out, rendered and exported from Cinema4D’s Physical Renderer

BG and 3D elements merged and overlaid with guides to plan out the visual flow of the calendar’s dates
