13 Images I Created Showcasing A World Where Big Brands Have Been Forgotten

My name is Julien Tabet, I'm a French digital artist, and a little more than a year ago, I challenged myself to learn 3D from scratch with Blender and to create one image per day for 365 days. The series of images presented here is a simple experiment as part of my process of learning the basics of 3D composition and modeling.

I've always had a fascination for post-apocalyptic environments where nature has taken over our cities. So I imagined a world in which some of the major brands of this world have been abandoned and are just some memories of a past civilization. There is no particular message behind these images, which was just a way for me to have fun and practice, but feel free to interpret them in your way!

After working for so long with photo manipulation, it seemed natural to me to explore 3D with the goal of trying to incorporate it into my creative process. Most of the time I spent on photo manipulation was about finding the perfect images to build my artwork. So, at first, I wanted to improve my creative process by designing my own subjects. That was the idea.

3D modeling turned out to be much more complicated than I thought, requiring many hours of work before I could tackle more complex forms. That's where the idea of creating one image a day came from, with the aim of improving over time and taking on one project after another.

While my initial goal was to enhance my modeling skills, I discovered that I enjoyed compositional work the most. The ability to craft a story through image composition captivated me, and that became the focal point of my work.

When I began my daily creations, I rarely had a specific idea in mind and often let the flow guide me. Creating daily has made me rely more on instinct and spend less time contemplating the perfect image, which could slow down my learning process. Generally, once I have a rough idea of what I want my image to be, the composition forms naturally in my mind. The final result is often a blend of my initial plan and unexpected developments during my creative process, which give rise to new ideas.

Among all my creations, I particularly enjoyed designing certain series of images, including one where I depict a world where big brands have been forgotten.

Both articles center around the theme of undertaking a creative challenge and committing to it over the span of an entire year. Just as Nastya dedicated herself to painting horse portraits daily, Julien embarked on a journey to improve his 3D modeling skills through daily practice. Exploring the passion, dedication, and growth involved in such challenges can offer insightful perspectives on the artistic journey.

If you're intrigued by how creative projects can evolve over time, you might find it beneficial to explore the idea of dedicating yourself to a specific project.
