Description HALLELUJAH IT'S AMAZING TO BE BACK!!!! 

Real life got in the way, and while I've been making art every now and then...
I've been mostly keeping them to myself. After I've been gone for so long, I just lost will to post here.
But that ends today! Since I'm posting...

Now about the image, this was an entry for the Weekly CG Challenge's "Infinity" Contest. 
For those who don't know, the CG Challenge is a weekly contest where digital artists are given 2 weeks to create an image around a certain theme.  For the theme "Infinity", I went with the idea of an infinite mirror room where mirrors face each other and just reflect on and on. Then I built on the idea of having the reflections differ from the object being reflected. Kinda like a "mirror shows who you really are"-esque theme. Anywhoo, for two weeks I've been going at this and along the way, I've learned a lot of techniques with regards to Blender and 3D in general. (All those crashes aren't in vain.   )

And wow, that's a lot of text already! I'm such a rambler, aren't I? 
Anyhow, I won't spoil the contest results, you can see them for yourself.
Before I flood this description with more text, I'll end this here. See Ya!

Thanks for the appreciation Floof! -w-
Still, the results are already decided, it's on the post I linked.
I wouldn't spoil anything except that I didn't really get first place. 
The other artists there were way more experienced that I am.

Dood, I only have 5 months work of 3D experience. I'm an infant when it comes to this. :'D
What I'm good at is Photoshop which granted, I edited this to hell with...

I must be blind cause the only difference I see is that the flower is a lil blurred and y'know..the giant square shading

QuarkBlast In reply to PoofyFloofi [2018-04-27 04:27:16 +0000 UTC]

There was a lot of subtle editing where I added a faint rim light, light rays, and color toning.
But the most obvious edit is just getting rid of that rendering artefact a.k.a. that square that looks different.

Ah, you're still inexperienced Floof, there can't be too much editing.
If you actually tried, there will be always something to edit... :"D

QuarkBlast In reply to PoofyFloofi [2018-05-08 06:08:07 +0000 UTC]

It's not as bad as it sounds.
We work hard to make things unnoticed.
It's a compliment if people don't think it's edited. XD
And thanks, it's still quite nice if people appreciate the editing. -W-

PoofyFloofi In reply to QuarkBlast [2018-05-08 08:30:13 +0000 UTC]

How about when people point out your edits? o-O

QuarkBlast In reply to PoofyFloofi [2018-05-12 15:03:14 +0000 UTC]

If they notice it, it usually means they just have a good eye. 
Which makes me admire person a little bit more.

That, or I screwed up something in the edit and it's obvious.
But that totally never happens and I'm totally not being sarcastic. =w='

PoofyFloofi In reply to QuarkBlast [2018-06-01 22:34:10 +0000 UTC]

Never, one time even costing me exam marks because I thought a question was being sarcastic and I thought I was a smartass noticing it but in reality..it just was a general question :"3

QuarkBlast In reply to PoofyFloofi [2018-06-05 02:20:09 +0000 UTC]

Tests are boring and never sarcastic....
What was the question like though?

And the opposite once happened to me, I answered a test question sarcastically...
I got 3/4 points for that questions which is a pretty good score.

I guess an inference question for Social Studies like
Infer from the source or something 
And I was like
Since the words and the illustration contradict itself, it's using sarcasm! :"D

QuarkBlast In reply to PoofyFloofi [2018-07-29 01:01:03 +0000 UTC]

Like I said... Tests are never sarcastic. Teachers don't have the sense of humor for that...  
Still better than what I did though...

I answered an essay question about electricity by putting a lot of electrical puns.
