Great stuff, looks like a ton of fun.
Where are you located?

Thank you, solo!

I'm located in Bulgaria, but over the years most of my clients have been from the States.

Not that I know very much about story-boarding but perhaps your skills would work for commercials or TV production or animated versions for cartoons, perhaps of the work you do already.

I haven't actually been involved with the storyboarding, I just make the models and renders. But nowadays, I'll take any work that I can find.

Wow! Amazing stuff!

I love both your super-cool models, and the incredible graphics that were created with them.

Hard to imagine that with all your talent, you're still lacking for work. Hope it picks up for you

Thank you, db11, much appreciated!

Here are another two exterior models, one of a marine station that has suffered a few missile strikes, and one of a docked ship in a Havana port:

No project to make the same in Virtual Reality for give more "true 3D" at this 2D story?

I wish I had a VR headset, it would be awesome to be able to explore the interior models I've made in Virtual Reality.

Here's another update. An interior model of a Lab, as well as three test renders. This one is from the latest issue of the book, Risen #2.

Lab renders are totally real. All wonderful artwork! I hope you find the work you deserve.

kaas

absolutely stunning. I totally agree with pbacot.
I'm curious - whats the polycount / edge count of some of those models - for instance the lab. We are talking several millions or..?

I just checked, and the lab model has 4,300,000 edges and 1,900,000 faces

Yet another update:

This one wasn't used as much in the book as was initially intended, and it got changed a bit after the final renders, but nevertheless:

Absolutely outstanding work! Thank you for the presentation here in the forum. Which techniques and which software do you use for the visualizations? How are the characters and their gestures created - 3D models or are they drawn into the pictures?

Thank you, faust07!

For the models I use Sketchup, for the renders - Enscape and Photoshop.

The illustrations you see below or to the right of my renderings/models are made by the artist of the LAZARUS comic book. The characters are drawn by him, though sometimes he does use 3d models as reference for them as well, especially if they are wearing some sort of specialized gear, as is the case in the two examples below:
