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

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

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

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

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.

In memory of Nikos Papazoglou

Illustration: Dimitris Klonos

Nikos Papazoglou was a Greeksongwriter and singer. He passed

away recently, so I felt that I had do to draw something in his memory.

Nikos Papazoglou combined Greek musical elements with rock. 

His voice was unique with many elements from the east. His

work will stay forever in my heart and I believe it belongs 

among the diamonds of the Greek culture.

Have a nice trip to the angel's neighbourhood Niko, 

thanks for everything.

"Tonight my heart is broken with the little baglama"

(Free translation from one of my favourite songs of Nikos Papazoglou)

"Circle" stop motion animation

 

Creator: Dimitris Klonos

This is a stop motion animation about the eternal circle of life, death and life again.

The birth of a child, the first light, the growing up like a spring flower, the begining 

of the fall, death and finally new parents create something new again 

in order for the circle to go on.

This a video I created during my studying years. With so little knowledge about

video creating software, with a lot of passion for art and basic equipment I created

the "circle" animation.

I hope in future my skills will be far more advanced, so my next short animation

will be better than the first.
