A self-initiated 3D project built in Cinema 4D and Octane Render. Lewis Hamilton's race helmet suspended within the crest of his personal winged logo. Texturing, lighting, scene composition and wing geometry built from scratch.

Problem
F1 creative is crowded. Everyone is working from the same reference points and photographs. Making something visually distinct meant finding a concept that was both simple enough to land immediately and considered enough to hold up at close range. The brief was self-set: push my 3D capabilities and produce something worth looking at. No client. No deadline. Just a standard to hit.
Solution
A simple concept comprising of Hamilton's race helmet floating inside his own logo. Minimalist in terms of components, but I wanted something cinematic and quickly identifiable. Given the composition of Lewis' logo, it gave the piece an almost angelic, ethereal quality to it.
