Steven Dvornik - Steven Dvornik 2023 Portfolio
This is a combination of the work I've completed through this year with some additions from last year. I try to diversify the final look of each piece as working in 3D can be a very flexible medium, allowing you to achieve clean renders as well as a look that has qualities of a painting.
