This was the beginning of my Blender journey back in 2019. It was fun venturing in unexplored software after making the decision to use it entirely after losing my student license in Maya. I will never forget the excitement there was for Blender 2.8 (you just had to be there lol).
PS. The smoke was animated in Photoshop.
I will be sharing a few of my best artwork over the years gradually on this platform. Hope you enjoy!
