Hey me! You know how you’re finally just starting to get things organized and streamlined in such a way where you might not have to post everything as soon as you finish and then immediately start on the next piece? You know what you should do next? Try to learn an entirely new piece of software in order to realistically replicate the reflections and distortion of water for no other reason than that “it’d look sick”!

So yeah, that water they’re in is generated through Blender. Definitely not moving to 3D software for all the physical backgrounds. Not just to retain that tactile look, but I don’t think it would even save that much time. In the case of water though, I felt that attempting that physically would be waaay too big a project. Would it actually have been faster? Well, never know, because I’m not figuring all this out twice!

Oh! And it’s my birthday. And I think I’m getting sick. But, who knows! Maybe it’s just allergies!
