This is an avatar I
created for personal use. I made this by modeling and sculpting the dripping
lightbulb shape. I considered using fluid simulation to generate it, but I
found that didn’t give me the control I wanted so I used references and even
did a real-world test to figure out how best to represent it. I really liked
the thick oozing look that I got. Then the clouded background to help support
the theme of ideas. I didn’t set out to create a representation of corrupted
dreams, but I think that’s what happened. Regardless of what it might seem to
mean I really like the result and plan to use it for a long while yet.
If I were to make some changes,
I would increase the samples, but since this was going to be an avatar, I
didn’t focus on getting a nice high res image, which I do regret a little.
