Heart Street

3d Illustration/Heart Street by Greendjohn/Jonathan Thiry

It was initially supposed to be following my illustration "Dream Avenue", where you can see the sign "heart street". But along the way I have found new ideas that eventually led here! The render with Vray took about 6 hours (2000px*1600px) on my old computer...And also a few minutes for the hair (grass) render.

Smooth Depth

3d Illustration/Smooth Depth by Greendjohn/Jonathan Thiry

My name is John, I was born in Belgium on December 20th 1983. After secondary school, I studied interior design. Although it was very interesting, it wasn't really what I wanted to do. The next year I looked for for something new and I discovered CG art. I've never been a very good student but I've always enjoyed manual work. So I decided to do it my way... I have only three years of experience with CG, four years with computer music and the large part of my learning has been done independently. So I have to thank all the artists around me and on the net for their tutorials, advices, and of course their beautifull works...
