Artist's Comments

A 2D interior architectural rendering produced from my imagination in a vector program called XaraX. One of my older works.

**Edit:**

Wow, the only thing that told me I had a DD was the number of comments, so I couldn't figure it out!? Thank you so much, I truly truly appreciate it.
Anyway, a little deeper explenation. This was created all in a vector program, the only 'raster' elements are a texture I placed on the walls and the floor boards at the end, inside the program. I'd highly recommend XaraX, it's a very intuitive program if you have any interest in vector art at all. I can't remember how long it took, but probably off and on for 3+- weeks? No clue how many hours?


a lot have asked for a link to the program, sooo here
XaraX
XaraX1 is the program you'll want to look at there. Download the trial and play with it for a while, very different than Illustrator, but it's been more intuitive for me (I've used both), and it has quite a few innovative tools to allow you out of the bounds of a straight-edged 'vector' look if that's not your thing. But it's NOT for Mac (I use both mac and PC frequently, which is why I know both programs). If you only use mac, get illustrator... after all, it's the artist, not his/her tools.

thanks again everyone for taking the time to comment

NIce use of colors. Its very warm. The openings on the side add just enough interest to make a person want to walk over and look out them.

Is this is 3d render then composited or something? (excuse my ignorence). I don't know how you could have made that without 3d? the table and couches look amazing. I love the mood, excellent work!

thanks a lot, the textures were about the last thing I added.. besides color correction and all that

that's a very great compliment, it's something I and I'm sure every artist strives for, to suck the viewer actually into the image

No, this was all completely done in a 2D vector App called XaraX, an intuitive program that would rival Illustrator if it had enough money and advertising behind it. But it was all without a reference, straight from the head. I wanted to use my brain as the raytrace:p

If you don't know what vector is... it's basically a form of 2D imagery that is backed up by mathmatic equations for every shape/color/gradient/etc. So instead of pixels, it all has an equation and therefor can be enlarged infinitely without losing quality. I could export this image as a 15 foot wide print if I wanted retaining it's quality. It's a large quantity of layered shapes with different gradients on them to achieve the effects I need. send me a message if you have any questions

That is one of the more amazing vector interiors that I've seen. The warm tones and the lighting add so much atmosphere and you can actually imagine yourself just being a part of it. Extremely good work!
