I do my personal illustration work as relaxation and a creative antidote to my professional work - very rarely do I touch 3D outside of the office and only then as a tool to make assets, rather than the basis of an image.
Architectural visuals are created purely by rote and once you reach a certain level it rapidly loses its creative spark and becomes a mechanical process, for me at least - a series of technical problems to be solved. I have very little interest in looking at other arch-viz work as it all bores me fucking silly apart from a small number of studios (Mir, for example). I much prefer to look at things on fffffffffffound or various crazy tumblr image blogs and take inspiration from those than some piece of photo-realistic HDRI'd-to-fuck nonsense by Peter Guthrie.
As much as I would like to, I can't go buck-wild with my job because of myopic architects so I pour that energy/frustration into my illustration work and occasional photography. Making money is a bonus but never my reason for doing things - I set up a redbubble shop for the b/w prints I have showed here but whether I promote it or make it a 'thing' I haven't decided yet - having the option is nice though.
