Denver train abduction

igorstshirts — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 22:11:00 GMT

Every single piece of this illustartion (except for the most basic rectangular and circular elements) was drafted in CorelDRAW before being imported to a 3D app for extrusion/light/render. You can imagine how ecstatic I was when I found out that I could import CorelDRAW 2D vector data and mess with it in Lightwave. This was my very first model and it took around 8 months to complete... On and off.

There is an animated version of this shot RIGHT OVER HERE.

logo to 3D

igorstshirts — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 19:11:00 GMT

This is a concept logo designed in CorelDRAW. I then import the vector data into a 3D app, extrude, light and render. I will document this technique soon in my blog here at CorelDRAW.com

One of my first illustrations

igorstshirts — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 19:04:00 GMT

This is one of my first real tries at CorelDRAW around 2001-2002. I took a picture of a semi truck and directly traced over it. I figured out how to layer shapes to achieve certain looks and how to work with gradient fills. No lens tool back then. I rarely trace anything other than my own concept sketches anymore.

Snowboard girl

This was completed early in 2003... I started to get a lot more technical with CorelDRAW after this image. I started to realize that DRAW yielded itself better toward hard surface illustrations, with more benefits. There are people who pull off organic illustration with vectors very well though.

Cop bot concept

Here is another example of rasterizing the created vector art, mapping it onto a polygon in a 3D application, lighting it and rendering out as Tiff format. I will document this technique in my blog here at CorelDRAW.com

Robot police

I love to rasterisze parts of an image and blur the shape to simulate an fstop/zoom on a camera. Brings the object of focus an immediate attention while gaining depth in an otherwise flat illustration. I will document this technique in my blog here at CorelDRAW.com

I made this vector illustration in DRAW 12. It's made up of about 700 shapes/layers.

three quarter view, vector ship concept

igorstshirts — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 16:49:00 GMT

This is my most recently completed piece of vector art. It is composed of about 2,650 vector layers/shapes. It was my first real try at two point perspective and I am fairly happy with how it turned out. I'm still learning how DRAW handles vanishing points and objects corresponding to them.

concept ship 3-view

igorstshirts — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 16:41:00 GMT

Here is one of my first tries at a 3-view. Corel makes it so easy to align the views and bring them into a 3D app. I made this in 2004 with version 11 I think... I always liked the long tube at the front of the ship to balance out the design but never thought of any other use besides maybe a gun, light or receiver of some kind. I recently watched an aviation show where long tubes like that are mounted on the front of air craft to suppress the sonic boom. CRAZY!

plane views

igorstshirts — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 16:33:00 GMT

This was done in CorelDRAW 12 and was supposed to be a three-view but ended up being only two (top and side). I love the fact that I can draft out views in DRAW, rastrize them and bring them into a 3D app. viewports as model refs. Some of the Corel vector data can be used as well, saving time in the modeling process. I will document this technique soon in my blog here at CorelDRAW.com

Demons

igorstshirts — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 16:26:00 GMT

I was commissioned to make this logo for the Colorado Crush indoor arena football team. The Crush had a great special teams that year, they called themselves the demons and wanted a logo screened for that division. They loved it and ended up taking the whole thing that year! Congrats John Elway.

Tokyo Taxi vector

igorstshirts — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 16:23:00 GMT

This is 100% vector art done with CorelDRAW 12. It consists of about 850 shapes.

you can see an animated loop of this illustration right here.
