Thank you!
Keep practicing, I’m still pretty new and learning myself, but setting aside a bit of time for it a few times a week has helped me improve really quickly.
Been playing a lot of Baldur’s Gate this week and it really got me in the mood to make something a bit more fantasy-oriented!
Thanks!
Most of the post processing was photoshop. The only elements “added” in PS were the water dripping off of the ship (thought about doing this with a particle system but for a still image that seemed like way too much effort), and then I put a little smoke and fog above the ground to give it some depth. Some basic contrast and colour-adjustments aside everything else was blender. I’ve tried doing more of the post processing with the compositor before but honestly I think photoshop yields a better result faster.
A dark Sci-Fi scene made in Blender and Photoshop. I generated the silhouette of the running woman using DALL.E and then cleaned it up in Photoshop - much easier than drawing the silhouette, Googling for ages to find the right image, or just posing a character in the scene, which would have also been slower and more intensive when rendering.
Pretty happy with this one!
Good luck, you got this!
Been another week of pointless stressful bullshit at work for me, which eats into my real life outside of work more than I'd like. That being said, making some progress on finding a therapist (a surprisingly difficult process it seems) and also a driving instructor -- almost made it to 30 without learning to drive, but the time is now!
Also starting the process of ditching music streaming in favour of Bandcamp, which has been fun. Been feeling some real nostalgia for the old days of buying tracks off iTunes!
Loved the first article, as a relatively recently out bi man, it’s always nice when I read something else that makes me feel seen, y’know?
I absolutely relate to this - I worry my stopping to let people pass so I don’t have to walk on grates makes me look totally unhinged
I do this and I don’t even have a reason like you do.
I think it’s just become so ingrained in me now that it’s not even a conscious choice 😅
One can hope, I’m keen to support whatever Christian builds next, but I think he’s not been super committal about his next moves
I’ve been learning Blender the last few months and I’m finally getting to a point where I can make the dark and moody Sci-Fi art that’s in my head!
Almost finished BG3 (at almost 100 hours on this playthrough), then planning to start Starfield!
