I will make atmospheric 3d artwork with moody color grading


About this gig
I create cinematic, atmospheric artwork that lives between 3D and 2D.
- My process:
1. I build the scene in 3D myself - composition, lighting, camera angle and depth are all designed and rendered from scratch, not photographed or collaged.
2. I bring the render into Photoshop to develop color grading, grain, and mood (duotone tones, film grain, halftone texture, glow, silhouette contrast). The result has the spatial believability of 3D with the emotional finish of a hand-graded photo.
- I prefer building the full 3D scene myself for full creative control. If you already have a source photo/render, I can work from that too - quality then depends on your source material.
- Great for: album covers, posters, key visuals, book covers, brand mood pieces, concept art, social media post.
- To start, send me: reference/mood board, color direction, subject matter, and final use case + dimensions.
- Source files: Standard includes a flattened PSD; Premium includes flattened PSD + 3D render passes. 3D scene files are available as an add-on.

FAQ
Are these images AI-generated?
No. These images are created through manual 3D modeling and rendering, followed by color grading in Photoshop. I can also provide the render/viewport output to demonstrate the process.
Can I request a different style?
Yes. I can adapt the visual style to your needs. However, the price and turnaround time may vary depending on the complexity of the 3D scene and the level of customization required.
I already have an image/render. Can you work from it?
Yes. I can work from an existing image or render you provide. However, I prefer to build the 3D scene from scratch whenever possible, as having direct control over the camera, lighting, materials, and composition from the 3D stage is key to achieving the best final result.
Do I get the original 3D scene file?
The 3D scene file is available as an add-on.
