Description So very, very tired --- but for good reason.

Started off Friday night with some three player Rayman Legends! (Awesome game with tons of content, creative level design, and beautiful graphics.) Briefly did some 3D on Saturday before heading out to a 3DS meetup with a few good friends (and at least 20 others). Finished up that night with even more Rayman! Then... continued into the morning with still more Rayman, while our 3DSes took advantage of some "homepassing". Finally, did a quick birthday sketch for a friend while this lackluster 3D rendered and then finished it all off by applying some lazy post-processing!

Wow!! Very impressive, they actually look very realistic and could be looking like action figures, great job with this!

Thank you! ^_^

It still amazes me when people says this looks realistic. It was one of my early experiments with depth of field --- and I distinctly remember "running out of time" before posting it, so I didn't have much time to play with the settings. Basically, I needed to do a lot of post-processing in GIMP to get rid of unintended graininess / a bit of a yellow tint.

Thank you! I'm surprised that comment is made so often --- I don't think I changed that model since 8 years ago.

I guess good lighting and camera fuzziness goes a long way.

Wow. So this is all 3D. It's beautifully rendered. I thought for a moment it might have been a toy model.

That's possibly the best compliment I've ever gotten. Thank you. o.o

That's okay. When I saw the thumbnail I thought it was a real physical model.

Ha ha, thank you, thank you! XD Just goes to show you --- the more I hate my work, the more others like it.

After hours of Rayman, I was too lazy to texture the "scanners", detail the metal of the machinery, and even properly do lighting. I took the raw render ( imgur.com/gqTQ6uY ) boosted the brightness/contrast, overlaid a super-bright, super-blurred copy, and then tweaked it a bit further by mixing in an ambient only render.

He seems to find his way in to everything. Though (especially in my art) it tends to end badly.
