This image presents a massive, floating architectural structure that feels both futuristic and industrial. The composition is dominated by sharp, geometric forms, stacked platforms, exposed frameworks and interconnected corridors that create a sense of complexity and precision. The greyscale palette, enhanced with subtle red and cyan offsets, gives the image a glitch-like, digital distortion effect.<\/p>\n

I begin by selecting a few structures from it, experimenting with scale, positioning and the relationship between positive and negative space. <\/p>\n It\u2019s very important that the composition works without texturing and lighting. I generate dozens of camera setups to find the best one \u2013 this is crucial. <\/p>\n \n (Image credit: Peter Olschinsky) \n I experiment with various textures, letting my intuition guide me. I take a similar approach with lighting, changing the mood and atmosphere quite arbitrarily. <\/p>\n This often takes the most time, since last-minute changes to textures and materials can still occur. The most important thing is that the mood and the structures\/shapes work together to tell the final story. <\/p>\n 03. Overpainting in Photoshop <\/p>\n \n Once I\u2019m happy with the final composition and have added textures and lighting, it\u2019s rendered in Blender. I then further transform the artwork in Adobe Photoshop through experimental overpainting, where I incorporate abstract structures, glitch effects and vintage tones that add a sense of timelessness to my otherwise technological narrative. <\/p>\n \n (Image credit: Peter Olschinsky)<\/p>\n \n (Image credit: Peter Olschinsky)Today’s best drawing tablet deals<\/p>\n Inspired to work on your own digital art?
