Purple Rain (Tribute to Prince)

Like many of you I was shocked and saddened to hear that one of my favorite artists, Prince, passed away suddenly on Thursday. As a huge music fan and a lover of unbridled creativity in all its wonderful forms, losing Prince feels like someone turned down the lights a little on our world.

I’ve loved Prince’s music since his “Little Red Corvette” days in the early 80s. One of the things that always most fascinated me about him was that he taught himself to play the piano (at age 7), the guitar (at age 13) and the drums (at 14). As a young person he gave me hope that I could teach myself to succeed creatively.

If you’ve followed my work over the years you know that I try not let the world intrude into my gallery. I’ve always wanted DB to be a place to escape the pains of real life. This is an exception.

I was working on this render when I heard the news Thursday and I immediately started adapting it to become a tribute to his genius. I hope you enjoy it.

Rest in peace Prince!

Lavender (Sunset)

Shortly after posting my original “Lavender” render multiple Members requested a sunset version. Sounded like a great idea to me 🙂

Let me know what you think!

Lavender

I’ve had this scene rattling around my head for a while and it seemed like the perfect exercise to learn some skills in both World Machine (the furrowed field) and Plant Factory (the lavender).

I’ve spent the past few days trying different lighting settings but I’m still not completely pleased. Better to post it here while I tinker because I do think it looks nice enough to share as is. Look for an update in a day or two 🙂

Let me know what you think!

Myriad

Continuing the theme of mathematical beauty I offer “Myriad”, a 3D fractal mandala that I created and rendered using Mandelbulb3D. After the in-your-face brightness of “Fibonacci’s Flower” I thought it would be best to mute the colors a bit for this one.

I hope you enjoy it!!
