Forest Cabin
As the season changes, we still have some time left until the Winter themes hit, so why not chill out a bit in a forest cabin while the world around you gets covered by fallen leaves.
Behind the Scenes: The Raven 3D Comic
I just love the "spooky" pop-culture, so every year when October comes, my pencils are sharpened and Blender open and ready to go. And aside from a classic illustration work, I always like to experiment a bit and try something out of my comfort zone.This year, a new Blender version came with a new shader node called "ray portal", which basically works as a camera inside your scene and allows you to project part of your scene to a material. But not just a flat snapshot, that could...
Graveyard
I thought it would be nice to squeeze in one more for spooktober. Mausoleums, tombstones, eerie graveyards, malformed trees. Ghosts, skeletons and undead. Happy Halloween!
Haunted Room
As we get close to the end of October, what about spending some quality time in a hotel room full of unexplained scratches and distant voices and screams coming from within the walls?
Asylum
Let's continue the spooktober by exploring few haunting ideas. There's something uneasy about old sanatoriums and asylums, no wonder they have been central to many horror shows and movies.
Behind the Scenes: French Street Illustration
Sometimes, your next personal project can be simple. Simple in terms of the theme, simple in terms of what you're trying to do on both artistic and technical level. Just a canvas to be painted.If you always strive for the next big thing and maximize your effort in your expression and technical skills, the exhaustion can crawl up to you. The legendary "creative burnout".In gaming, there is this term, called "min-maxing" and it's basically trying to get the best possible op...
The Raven
I decided to kick off this year’s spooky season by adapting one of the oldest horror poems, The Raven by E.A. Poe, as a comic strip. The latest Blender feature, ray portal, enabled me to create a fun animated experiment.
Autumn Room
We're deep into September and summer mostly receded and gave way to warm colors, winds and occasional drizzle, cozy evenings with the blanket at the ready. How does a living room you want to spend an evening in look like? Let's see.
Behind the Scenes: Batmobile Illustration
Again and again, the question in the comments comes back. How do you come up with ideas? Sometimes it's hard to answer, because I look at that particular work and...well...Batman.But when I thought about it and employed a little bit of empathy, I understood what the people in the comments ask. It's not about how I came up with the idea to do a Batman theme, sailboat theme, or any other theme. It's about the whole picture. How I came up with the final result?Finally I understood what ...
French Street
Recently I quite enjoy creating moody snapshots of streets and buildings of different parts of the world and I think it's time for a cozy brasserie corner or a café. Bienvenue en France!
Fifth Element
After a quick visit to DC universe, let's explore a movie classic by Luc Besson. Cyberpunk city, washed up flying taxi driver and redhead clothed in white straps. Fifth Element it is!
Classic Study
Summer slowly comes to an end and we turn our head towards the next stage of our school life, careers and work. So I thought it would be nice to celebrate the change of seasons with a classic study or library.
Behind the Scenes: Sailboat in Town Illustration
I often fall head over heels into new interests and obsessions. It's how my brain is wired and if I find something new, I dive deep. Two years ago, I had an opportunity to get a boat license, so I did it just for the fun of it. Never even coming close to a boat, I then rented a speedboat and had some fun.But I always wanted to know, how sailing works. So in the meantime, I studied all there is on YT about sailing. And then rented a sailboat. Yeah. With a fresh license, without an instructor,...
Batmobile
Batman is one of the few super heroes, that uses not superhuman strength or abilities, but physical training and technology to fight the crime of Gotham. I always liked that. And I also always loved the different generations of bat-mobiles, so I picked one and made it.
Behind the Scenes: Cozy Farm Illustration
I got quite interested into the cozy life sim game genre. If you don't know what that's about, it's the games like Stardew Valley or Nintendo's Animal Crossing. What I really like about these games, they simplify the complexity of RPG and strategy elements, while still keeping quite a lot of depth to keep you engaged, but on the other hand often offer a lot of freedom and customization.And I especially like aesthetics of these games. Since they are targeting more chill and casual...
Coastal Town
Let's travel to mediterranean some more and enjoy a quiet evening in an old town waterfront stacked with sailboats. Old building facade, patio restaurant, concrete piers with tied up boats, make your pick.
Urban Café
Whether it's to get together with a friend, to meet to brainstorm exciting new venture, or just to sit alone with your headphones and laptop focused on a task, your local coffee shop is always there for you and deserves an illustration.
Behind the Scenes: Forest Camp Illustration
This one is again more driven by desired techniques, than an inspirational idea. I'm always working on my skills and test new things and sometimes the time comes to give something a go and try on a new project.In the past couple years, there have been some changes and new possibilities in Blender when it comes to NPR or cartoon rendering. The grease pencil got some overhaul, geometry nodes matured and with the 4.2 version, we got new EEVEE with raytraced global illumination.I really wanted t...
Cozy Farm
Lately I got really engulfed in a cozy game genre vortex and it nicely matches my game asset series, so let's create a cozy farm surrounded with produce calling to be picked.
