Stunning Sci-Fi Concept Sketches Are Actually 3D Renders

Image Cache: I love the 3D concept art by Neil Maccormack because it doesn’t look like 3D at all. His renders — which he finishes in Photoshop — feel like acrylics painted with real brushes. His palette — which sometimes reminds me of Ralph McQuarrie’s — is crucial for the painterly feel of his creations.
