Render News and Yet Another Boring Pin-up
With the pressures of work, the holidays, and a little break to play World of Warcraft, I hadn't done any rendering for over a month. I'd forgotten how relaxing it can be to do that kind of work. Fortunately, I've got MAW to remind me.
There's a contest for the Burning Flipside ticket design, and I'd been meaning to do something with that ever since the theme was chosen in early December, but I just hadn't found the time. Fortunately for me, MAW prodded me enough to spur me into action. So, last Sunday I did the bulk of the necessary work and then did various test renders and tweaks over the course of the week, finishing up with the final renders and compositing on Thursday, a day before the deadline. It came out pretty well, but no, that's not it down there. They're doing the judging on Monday, so I'll know how I fared soon enough. The winner gets two tickets, but in truth, it was worth it just to get back into the artistic groove. I hadn't realized how much I was missing it.
Anyway, after doing something cool that I couldn't immediately share, I figured I'd knock out something quick. Hence, I cranked out "Yet Another Boring Pinup". Actually, it's YABP #2 since I did one of the same title last fall.
Any similarities to MAW are purely the coincidental results of the artist's lustful thoughts.
