Description
The classic apple tree, an iconic symbol of fertility, prosperity and in some cases - even the earliest days of man. Here in a controlled keepsafe to give it optimum conditions. But one has to wonder, is this the first tree that ever existed, synthesized by another species? Or is it humanity desperately trying to save one of the last?This is my first of three submissions to the latest exhibit for the Luminarium's latest Gaia theme. Which I also proudly made it as the featured artist for the exhibit too and got interviewed, which can be seen here [link]
Created using Cinema 4D, Vue and Photoshop. I ran into a lot of issues with this one, being my last "complex" scene done entirely on my old computer. I owe a thanks to ~Kaioshen who rendered the Vue file for me since I would have been waiting days if I left it to my old system.
Other artworks will be uploaded in the coming days. I just don't believe in dumping a bunch of work at one. Let people digest one apple before feeding them the next

It's modelled 3D-modeled by me, that was definitely the slowest part and about 95% of the total work involved. Some digital painting over it at the end helped get a lot of extra lighting, shading and details in that I wasn't able to achieve in the 3D work alone

Lovely, great concept. I see an idea of migrating the fauna, not just as frozen seed but as somthing lovely to look at during the space voyage as well.

That would be a good way to keep people interested and motivated I think

Certainly. + the vision of nature and green stuff in general has a calming and soothing effect, while for instance red triggers us up.

Stunning! The contrast between nature and artificial/industrial surroundings is very strong here. The lab background makes the greenery of the tree even more vibrant. Beautiful work as always!

Thanks! That was definitely intended. I wanted the background to look artificial, yet still unnaturally clean and white/silver. It brought out the tree a lot more

Wow, that is so cool, and amazingly done!
I always say it, but i'll say it again, and most probably keep saying it: i just LOVE your ideas, they're always so creative, clever and unusual

I think it's the last one of the original naturals that still lives after the Great Genetics Modification of 2046. After the GGM, we became a totally engineered world.

That could be a good thing if it breeds out a lot of genetic diseases and weaknesses though, I'd be in support of such technology as long as it didn't totally ruin the natural order of life beyond human activities

It'll be a good thing to get people to actually choose their numbers instead of accidentally breeding too many of themselves.

Oooh I like the thinking. Is it the first? Last? In the middle?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Middle seems kinda pointless. First or last sounds more dramatic

Maaan... Sometimes I really wonder how you're doing these..

So do I - the flaming hoops I have to jump through just in the creation of an artwork still doesn't manage to deter me (much)

Okie, impressive it is nonetheless! X3

I was thinking of doing some trees or landscapes in bottles actually, but then I noticed a few other artists have done that already

Would be sad to see this in reality.
But done beautifully by you, as always

Unless there was still millions of trees outside and this one was just a display, then it would be more cool than sad

I will be very sad if this one day becomes true. trying to save the last tree..

I would think even humanity wouldn't stoop that low
