Singularity Borealis

3D Renders

[General] Non-character Art

Recently watched the video below from Yakovlev where they talk about inspiration in the context of coming up with art ideas by combining ideas from images that already exist into one, basically "stealing without stealing".

This made me realize that I could take these four images…

…and cherry-pick certain aspects about them that I want to incorporate into one image…which go figure is what I actually did for this render. How I piecemealed each element was with the following:

  • 1-2: Something in the very middle? [Never did this, but 2 does kinda imply that something would go in this area.]

  • 2: Frame-in-frame [A neat composition trick where you have something in the frame of an image, where the entire image itself frames said frame.]

  • 3: Singularity in the middle, enclosed by a frame within the frame [Did this, but I loved the volumetric interaction with the singularity being big.]

  • 3-4: Somewhat of a cosmic sky using volumes [Point lights drive this effect.]

And as you might've noticed from the bracketed text, some of what I did doesn't nearly align with the ideas that I had in mind. However, the point of doing this isn't to literally copy everything I see from multiple images into one art piece, but rather question to myself what I might want in the final image and how I would incorporate them differently so that they're not necessarily better, but rather different in a way that doesn't divert too much from the original.

As my college 2D design instructor told to his class (probably not exactly what he said), 80-90% of the work should be from you whereas 10-20% of the work should be from the original artist.
