Title: Vaporwave Jesus
Post by: CoriDavis on December 25, 2023, 12:38:42 pm
Interesting title, eh? Also fitting I'd finish this on Christmas.

This has to be my most ambitious model yet. I had an idea for an album cover that would have a Vaporwave theme. And I thought, since it's Christian music, what if I took the idea of the Statue of David and made it Jesus instead! This took me something like three weeks to finish. I've had a lot more free time and motivation for art now that I have a new job. I'm super proud of it. This is hands down the best model I've EVER made. It turned out EXACTLY how I envisioned it!

I'll render a 360 turnaround once I'm back from the Christmas festivities. I still have a lot more models to make for the scenery.

it's been an epic journey watching this take shape over on the Discord server, and the end result is magnificent 8)

Thank you! It's been a long and tedious process. Looking at the dates this took just over two weeks to finish!

I finally got my 360 rendered!

The vaporwave imagery is coming together! This just makes me SO happy to look at!

It's also my first time trying out reflectivity in ART. I don't know why I always thought it was so intimidating and didn't understand it. It's super easy! I initially didn't like how the tiles were reflecting the color of the sky, turning them purple instead of the bright pink I was going for. But after fiddling around with it, I eventually realized I like the light purple more. It works better with the color theory.

There are more things I want to add to the scene, so stay tuned. Hopefully I can work it out without overcomplicating it.

Nice model. How was it finished, with paint?

Nice model. How was it finished, with paint?

It was printed in white and then I sprayed it with a coat of Rustoleum triple-thick glaze hoping to reduce some of the lines without the alternative of sanding it. I'll probably give it one or two more coats though.
