Use Divine Pulse to turn back time.===============================================================Growing as an Artist (New Concepts/Discoveries and Thoughts):- Another One Hour Picture Prompt with DistortingReality. Looking back on it, I really wish I could've gotten a better background for this, but in my search, I couldn't find very many volcanic looking scenes to start with.- For some odd reason the landscape would appear as black in renders, but not in the viewport, even with lighting applied. This was the first time I've ever seen a model behave this way, but by clearing the custom split normals data, the problem was fixed.===============================================================Trivia and Extra Tidbits:- Based off the background and title, anyone who's played Three Houses might recognize that this render is centered around Ingrid's paralogue. In that battle, a suitor is attempting to kidnap Ingrid so that he can marry her through force.- The pegasus model used is actually Cordelia's mount from Warriors, while the arrows are actually Sakura's.- I had an idea similar to this for an animation I wanted to make a very long time ago, but due to my inexperience at the time, did not end up making. The general concept was of a pegasus knight falling off her mount from very high. So instead, that animation turned into a small cloth physics test render (Caeda's Fall).===============================================================Credits:- Characters: Ingrid Brandl Galatea (Fire Emblem: Three Houses).
