I have done a lot of technical art in many genres over the years.
In automotive, Biology / sciences, electrical and infrastructure, procedural, and assembly. That said the examples above
are off the beaten path. Doing a cut away on a high heel shoe with a proprietary insert is out there. I had seen
tennis shoe cut away art and back packs - so what the heck. As a tie in: This is not my first job in fashion related illustration.
The comic bookish characters on the right hand side were
from a freelance job many years back. The job was to create the two characters from text description and also design the
jersey top, shorts, hoodie, and sweat pants all with the logo incorporated. This was my first foray into clothing design -
and not the last. I also got hired to do a series of sock designs. One other related job was more technical. I did a job
for a tailoring company. The job was to do technical break down of different cuts, collar and cuff styles. Basically
everything a custom suit tailor does. Next a request to do an action scene - comic book like action - with a product used for rescue, power line tower
workers and more. The two basic design sketch mock ups are above it. Finally - there is the unusual safety reminder poster for ComED. They wanted something unusual - comparing athletes
wearling safety gear and they want they workers to be as safe. They supplied the idea of using a baseball catcher.
Though it had to be technical - I wanted to add some artsy illustration spin - hoping that if a worker took one home - their kids might actually think it's kind of cool.
Next up - technical diagrams. Two diagrams for showing processes. Not my normal fare, but interesting to do.
Next up are some 3D illustrations. Starting with a futuristic golf course with hovering spectator, video and advertising platforms. The client wanted many of the elements to be ultra
simplified - like the trees and scrubs, etc. This was done for a series for a drone app the company had developed. There were two other such scenes.
Next up was a 3D illustration with some of the content being pre-made and the rest modeled
by me. All the side spots are modeling done by me and the small boat. The floating drill rig was a mix of me and a stock item. Only the
tanker was a complete stock 3D model. The company manufactured foam core based items for marine use. Final 3D scene was done for a small
bespoke exercise equipment builder.
