Had a bit of a revelation today in regard to my 3D render art.

There are some artists who produce fantastic portrait work using DazStudio and I've talked to them about what processing they do to produce such amazing images.

But somehow I just can't do it. no matter how hard I try.

And yet I can produce some extremely good images, so the revelation was:

I may not good at what they do, but I'm good at what *I* do.

And that's totally fine.

Creating art is my coping mechanism for the state of the world. Here I have control.

And I guess that's the reason for my choice of genres. SciFi, Fantasy, Cyberpunk, I did those already before the world went nuts. SciFi offers glimpses into bettter futures and better societies. Cyberpunk often describes how heroes stand up against overwhelming odds in a dytopian future, never giving up hope. Fantasy often does something very similar. Aside from creating pretty images (at least I think they are pretty) I draw strength from it.

And talking about doing render work...

This is almost finished for a competition titled "Sexy Robots" over on RenderHub.

I wasn't going to bother entering but the majority of the other entries are just "naked human females with cyber attachments" and I found the lack of imagination insulting.

(a) They aren't robots and (b) your only definition of sexy is nudity?

Good evening!

So my previous #Kofi goal of $27 got met & I’m truly appreciative of the continued support of the #MastoArt community!

I currently have a $42 goal. Thanks to a few generous investors, the goal is already at 14% completion.

This goal is to help me with my current #DazStudio comic project, “Reconnection”. Once I meet this current goal, I will put up a two-page preview of this project exclusively on #Mastodon! Any help will do and all help is welcomed!! 🙏🏾
