A new article illustration for the Dutch FNV Bouw magazine.
The article discusses the lack of theoretical education in the construction work sector. Most construction workers learn their most important lessons through trial and error at work.
Hope you like it.
All the best,
Metin

Is this Hilversums english???
hahaha
Yes that is Hilversums Engels my vriend! 
cool render. although the beams kinda remind me of a swastika
Hmm … does this tell us something about my illustration or about you? Anyway, it’s no subliminal fascist propaganda.
was just a passing thought

That’s exactly what I have noticed, too! But I thought that it is just me who sees it.
Maybe you should change the shape of the path a lil bit. Just to prevent misunderstandings.
But overall it’s great as always!
You’re absolutely right, Elf and Mirko. Of course I noticed it too, but I thought I had altered the construction enough to lose the swastika impression.
Anyway, I think it’s a pity that mister Adolf has once decided to attach his crimes to this symbol, as the origin of the symbol is quite harmless.
By the way, the nazi swastika turns right, so that’s another difference.
Nice work, great style. Nice use of glossies.
Are all of your iso renders for the same product/campaign?
Thanks Austin!
For the past few months I’ve been busy to convince the magazines I illustrate for to go along with me and start using my isometric style, and they agreed. So the illustrations I post here are for several different magazines.
Cheers,

It’s still a common Bhuddist symbol throughout Asia (the ‘feet’ go counter-clockwise I believe) and often denotes vegetarian restaurants.
So these guys are vegetarian construction workers.
is that blood on that dudes head? he should be wearing his helmet hehe
The in the illustration is that the injured teacher tells the others to wear a helmet, while the others already do and the teacher forgot to wear a helmet again.
Cheerio,

Wederom a nice product Metin 8)
I guess you really loved playing with playmobile and lego and stuff
Thanks Jerry. What makes you think I loved playing with Playmobil?
As a matter of fact I was a Lego type o’ guy. You always had Lego kids and Playmobil kids, just like I was a Commodore 64 kid and no ZX Spectrum … Commodore Amiga, no Atari ST … PC, no Mac.
I would still love to see my www.figurefarm.com character designs realized as toy figures one day.
Cheers,
Metin
