Lux, I adore the scene, truly. And I am loathe to say this but just a little more time with the lighting would have been tremendous. I'm sorry if it feels like I"m busting your bubble but, no.. I really am'n't. aren't even. I KNOW how much work you put into the scene, and to be honest that's the only reason I"m saying anything. Most posts here are either lazy, derivative, or money grubbing adverts... but some are because the creator wants to do something and I THINK, I am correct in seeing that here. The scene is beautiful sculpted and Its very nice, but you can do better. Shit, I can do better. I can wake up smiling once in a while...
very nice Lux, please, don't stop. I can't wait for your next

Sat, Aug 26, 2023Hey Vince, thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I totally get what you're saying about the lighting. I struggle with night scenes - help!
I'm glad you like it though, and I appreciate your honesty. It helps me see where I can improve. Keep waking up with that smile, and I promise I won't stop creating. Much love!

Sat, Aug 26, 2023If you wish maybe a private chat.... its nobody else's business. Let's figger it out. If you look at my shit you'll see I try but.. I'm as perfect as a drunk screw. I just saw your urge, and that hit me like a log.. right in the face.. So, STOP THROWING LOGS! Oh, first rule.. just don't take it serious. Be maniacal with your work.... fight each scene as it fights back but in the end.. its just a fucking JPG. we ain't winning awards here, but every fucking like does matter in this bizarre way cos we all desire acclaim. Stupid fucking world , ain't it?
anyway, be safe and never let anyone tell you what to do.

OH! and GMArtworks, an artist here who is SOOOO far past me.. is really sweet. He's also able to give guidance. He uses more external stuff than I do, but he has some serious chops. Just ship him a message in renderhub
