Once I created the logo for "Δελφική Γη", it was time to create the packaging. I created a label with a vector illustration of people collecting olives with the traditional method. This was also a nice excuse to practise my 3D skills so I can make a better presentation of my work. 

Corporate spot for Bmtools

Client: BMtools

This is a corporate spot for BMtools. It was a part of an event relevant to tools and agricultural resources and tools. The 3D preview is always helpful to get an idea of what the finished product will look like.

Photorealistic packaging mockups and retouch for Mellin honey

Mockup Illustrations: Dimitris Klonos
Retouch: Dimitris Klonos
Photography: Dimitris Petratzas
Client: Mellin

This is a photorealistic approach of the product Mellin. 90% of the work is CGI. Photographs have been used as a base of study in all the paper packages. The glass bottles are photos slightly retouched with the safety tape created on the computer. The silver logo on the package has also been photographed.

We decided to present the packshots this way, in order to have a perfect outcome on all the product's flavours.

3D illustration for print ad campaign

3D Illustration: Dimitris Klonos

Art Director: Eleni Kremida

Copywriter:  Natasa Vourgana
Creative Manager: Natasa Vourgana

Advertising agency: Havas Worldwide Athens

Client: Attica bank

I was called to illustrate a 3D visual for Attica bank's campaign. The creative idea behind this ad is that Attica gives you the best perspective on your interest rates. The visual is a 3 dimensional rate that needed to be rendered on a certain angle of the camera in order to dramatize it's perspective. 

low polygon illustration

This is an experimental 3D illustration using the low poly style. Low poly 3D style gives a more abstract effect and as a result it offers a more creative way to use 3D aesthetics. Experimenting with creative 3D techniques is as interesting as using 3D to create photo realistic cg images.

3D stratocaster electric guitar modeling

 

3D modeling: Dimitris Klonos
Photoshop color correction: Dimitris Klonos

This is a stratocaster type electric guitar in 3D. The stratocaster type is one of the most famous electric guitar type of all time. As a result, this masterpiece of industrial design inspired me to create a 3D model based on a real strat.

The color of the body of the guitar is the famous sunburst. One of the reasons I have created this 3D model is that I want to experiment with different illustrations and paint jobs on the body and the pickguard of the guitar. Having a 3D model is really easy to change colors and designs in order to study how a certain picture looks on the strat. In future I'll post more on the subject.

Recycling design! Candle holders

 

Industrial design: Dimitris Klonos

3D Illustration: Dimitris Klonos

This is an idea of how to recycle old glass bottles and scrap wood to create candle holders. These candle holders are ideal for outdoor use, because the candle light cannot be put out by air currents. On the images above you can see 3D models of a triplet and a single candle holder and you can also see o real prototype of the single one. The prototype is made from a scrap piece of plywood and an old wine bottle.

This is the Douwe Egberts spot, created especially for a fashion show! So it had to be glamourus and stylish while also being Douwe Egberts.

Advertising agency: LOWE ATHENS

Client: Douwe Egberts

In this case, we designed from scratch the Douwe Egberts spot in a super market. The construction included a "bar" area, a "take your picture" area and a "gaming area"! it was really impressive to see something like that while shopping in a supermarket.

The actual event looked like that:

This is indeed a Mega construction. It was placed in super markets to promote Douwe Egberts instant coffee with flavours. Full branded in big scale. It did make a stand inside the super market.

3D character modeling

Character design: Dimitris Klonos

This is the first time, I've managed to create
a 3D model out of a hand made sketch.

Practice makes you better and after many
attempts, I believe I'm getting close to
decent character modeling.

It's a very interesting process and I really
enjoy digitalizing my hand drawings, because
you still have the hand's natural feel,
combined with a digitalized modern
effect!

Hope you like it!

3D character modeling

3D Illustration: Dimitris Klonos

This 3D character modeling attempt.

I draw the blueprints of a face, I scanned them

and placed them in my 3d workspace.

I've created it polygon by polygon based 

on my blueprints. I've only designed half of the face, 

I've put it in a symmetry object and the rest 

just mirrored itself.

It's my first let's say successful attempt

of drawing a face in 3D. 

Although it's a very painfull procedure, I really

enjoy these things. It's also amazing

the fact, that every time I try this type of

modeling I become better and better.

Although I'm still far far far away from

perfection.

Anyway, hope you like it!

3D Face and forms

3D Illustration: Dimitris Klonos

This is a face modeling experiment using the box modeling

technique. Once again I left my subconscious mind

unfold. 

Still learning the mysteries of the 3D world, I tried

to express my self through  the computer

once again.

I haven't used scanned blueprint sketches. 

Everything just come out, through improvisation.

Hope you like it.

Leaf chair

3D Illustration: Dimitris Klonos

Industrial design: Dimitris Klonos

I really like design concepts that are inspired by nature.

I believe nature can provide us with endless inspirations

for everything.

I wanted to design a chair that would reflect

calmness. So I thought that a folded leaf, a symbol

of nature's harmony would provide me with an 

interesting form.

I imagine reading a book or, relaxing after work 

in a chair like that. Like a lazy insect

that found refuge on a nice fresh beautiful leaf.

I hope you like my leaf chair, maybe some day

someone would meditate on one of these!

3D abstract experiment

3D Abstract Illustration: Dimitris Klonos

In this 3D case study, I was playing with shapes, forms and the way

they interact with different lighting soft boxes. So I came out with

this this synthesis.

The basic shapes are placed in a cubic soft box, a spot light is 

facing the front view and the rest is about the glossy reflecting

materials I've added on my forms.

The posibilities of light and form combinations

are just endless! 

3D classical guitar experiment

3D Illustration: Dimitris Klonos

This is a modeling and lighting experiment of a classical guitar.

I didn't use blueprints during modeling, so the shape 

of the guitar is a bit weird. I am fascinated with the world of 3D 

so I hope in future I'll have more stuff to present.

Mastering the third dimension is a challenge for me

and I really enjoy the procedure. 

I hope the 3D masters will excuse my mistakes.

I promise I'll be better next time.
