Welcome to KDT Design!
My name is Konstantinos Tsiopanos and I'm an emerging designer currently enrolled in the Industrial Design program at Virginia Tech. Feel free to check out my work!
Naef Toy Competition 2008
I entered this block toy design into the 2008 Naef Toy Competition. The toy is called "Doppelter Zahn" which translated from German means "Double Tooth"-- see if you can spot how it got it's name. You can view more pictures of this toy in My Coroflot Portfolio.
Featured Work: Summer 08'
I picked up a copy of "Mechanika" by Doug Chiang the other day at Borders and it inspired me to draw this.
I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in concept art and design. Click on the image above to view the render, or click on "Featured Work: Summer 08'" to view more of my recently inspired concept art/designs.
Current Projects:
What have I been up to recently? Illustrating! I have been producing some concept art and illustrations for Emma Larkins, author of the upcoming books "The Hidden Land of Gre" and "Lueil's Lyre". Check it out here.
