Truth be told .. I had no idea how this would turn out. I think i struggled with the 3d model for the most part. In between total shut down... couldn't work on it properly. Months later.. tried again ... things started falling into place. Main element was modeled in 3dsmax, then used Art Renderer. Major post work in photoshop. i.e. final look and feel, colors, effects, line work etc. A flyer version was also created as well ( NO BACKGROUND WORK ). Wherein i was able to churn out three more color variations.
