I believe 3-D art is all about perspective. Looking at the same piece from different angles really shows you the content and values which make the piece worth looking at. I went through a few different artist’s work to find one that really popped to me. BillElis who hails from the UK is by far my favorite 3-D artist that I have been able to find so far. The way he uses his materials, mostly metal, brings out the darkness of his pieces which are Gothic in style. Although the idea is dark and the setting of the piece is too, you can see so much contrast due to the content that his work is portraying. He has been approached by the video game market because of his illustrative work. His work on Wick is great! Death and Darkness, is what I see when I look at his work and this really intrigues me to look at the shadows for inspiration.
Billeils has produced some of the best art of the top athletes, musicians for ad companies and magazines in the world. He inspires me because it seems that he dabbles in everything and is a master of creations that not only should intrigue but give you inspiration too. He can engrave, carve hard stone, make an anime in a virtual world which he can blend and create his own beautiful dark style of art. All the different techniques he uses not only takes desire but dedication and will power to complete his ideas in a provocative manner. His contrasts bring darkness to a new light.
