Do you sketch these out first?

You managed to do that in Maya?
Gotta have a separate post-process in PS
which I figure out... awesome! :-)

Thanks everyone!

@Dave- Yes, most of the time I sketch it out first. Also, most of these are derivative of existing impossible objects.

@rexguo- Yes, I've been working in Maya, but I'm switching to Carrara because Maya is just too complicated to use and Carrara is more fun to work with. And yes, there is certainly some Photoshop work involved.

I like this one the best, but this is an excellent series.

Josh Sommers says:

Thanks Ben! I like this one too, although I think my favorite is the Two or Three? image. This one I think is the cleanest though, and I might have a go at recreating it again using Carrara. I think my days of using Maya are over.
