Fire in the Sky

A simple sky study that I created using VUE on my trusty (8 year old!) Shadowfax workstation while Rochallor rendered another project.    I’ve long been fascinated with how the sun illuminates clouds from below the horizon but it’s tricky to depict this using 3D as most 3D scenes use a flat world.   Here I used VUE’s “spherical scene” mode to move the sun below the horizon and light the cloud layers from below.   The foreground is kept intentionally minimal.

I hope you enjoy it! Stay tuned for another new piece soon!!

EDIT: I’ve added a version to the Pickle Jar without the dock by popular request!

Trinity (Night)

Took a bit of time off last week to be with my family. I’m also busy working to prepare for sunsetting my old DB 1.0 web server. This should happen sometime during the week ahead but if you’ve been using this site you shouldn’t notice any disruption other than a URL change (the “beta” will disappear). The old mobile apps, unfortunately, will stop functioning. I am working on replacing them with something new however!

Before moving on to something new art-wise I thought it might be worthwhile to create a night version of my updated Trinity scene for those of you who prefer darker wallpapers.   I’ve tried to mirror the configuration of the day version with the planets. Hope you enjoy it!!

Trinity

Ever since I saw Star Wars as a young kid I’ve been fascinated with how a binary sunset might look.   Every so often I attempt one myself, going back to the first “Trinity” in 1998.     I set out to update the 2002 version of “Trinity” here but have decided to leave out the figure on the shore.    Instead I’ve added a moon in the sky to complete the triad.   

I hope you enjoy it and feel free to let me know what you think in the comments 🙂
