This is one of the newer mines left standing on the Keweenaw peninsula. I used the existing pile of rusty old parts, but moved them around and turned the building so it was looking at us.

Using Google Sketchup
I've been asked if I use Google Sketchup, so I'm posting a few examples. I don't have any samples on my site because I have viewed it to me more of a tool than a final product.
Holiday Card
in illustration
Renaissance Gold wanted to use their logo (Getty Images), but add a holiday theme into it. I first created three snowman related ideas, than created the final in Autodesk 3Ds Max. I used reflections instead of shadows to keep the image dark, along with complimentary violet backlighting to make the gold stand out. I also able to make the Snowmen heat-resistant.
