2D Concept Art in 3D?
I’ve developed tools that allow me to explore and invent as freely in 3D as I can with 2D tools (traditional or digital)… perfect for concept work. But make no mistake—these are 2D Concepts… not 3D models. If you want to know more about the process, please see the Blog link in my profile or the FAQ here.

I’ve worked to provide high aesthetic quality and useful imagery — beautiful presentation materials, if you are going that route — and just pleasant to look at and work with.
Note: The Photoshop files use Adobe’s Lithos Pro font (has shipped with Photoshop for many years, so you probably have it). As an alternate, all-caps Helvetica will work.
There is also some use of the Copperplate font. However it’s limited to the major Title text, and raster versions of those layers are included.
