Ken Liang: “Great render, great lighting, nice choice of camera angle to accentuate the scale of the serpent and visual story telling. Love the color choice and composition balance.” Ozana Nemčanin: “The Artist has shown some impressive modeling and texturing skills. Very nice storytelling, I love the contrast between cold blue lights illuminating the Serpent and warm candles lights. Beautiful lighting, clear and interesting composition, really nice colors and atmosphere. ![]() His scene composition and directing with light is already very professional.”Įwa Wierbik: “For me, this artwork has everything what great render should have. This was the longest time I’ve spent on a single image, clocking around 170 hours, and was an epic project to top off the year!”Ĭreated using Blender 3.0, Cycles X, Substance Painter and Photoshop.Ĭhristoph Werner: “I promise a successful future for Robert as an artist. Overall, this was an epic challenge, and I’m so glad I participated! I spent quite a bit of time on color grading and post-production in Photoshop, which I hadn’t really done before, but greatly elevated the image. The feathers on the Serpent are distributed using a combination of geometry nodes and Blender’s hair system. Halfway through the challenge, I considered scrapping the project for a new one due to spending an entire day on the lighting and not getting anywhere, but I am so glad I pushed forward! Shortly after that, I kicked and fractured my toe, but that actually let me work on it more. The first 6 days were spent purely on the idea, story and composition. This was a new asset creation workflow for me, but I found it very effective! Pretty much everything in the scene was modelled, sculpted, retopologized, and then finally textured. I had a ton of fun making this image and learned so much! I sculpted a creature and used Substance Painter for the first time (which was awesome!). This artwork is based on the Feathered Serpent (In Aztec Mythology), with an original story. ”– As a part of thy initiation into the Beast Bandit Guild, thou must steal the egg of a SERPENT.
