@Helge, I started working on an entry for last week’s theme, but never had time to finish it. If I used my bug model as part of this week’s entry, would that be open or pure?

There would be mainly new assets, but there would be the bug asset that I made on Monday.

In general, any model created before the new theme was published is considered an “old” or “reused” asset. Whether this affects the classification of the new post as “pure” or “open” depends on the importance of the old asset. If it is just a minor element among many new models, I would leave the entry in the “pure” category. If the asset is the star of the show, I would go “open.”

I didn’t use any image textures. Just materials. Before you ask me, the floor is a cutting mat.

Sad statue of liberty


Pure entry. Everything made in Blender, mix of procedural and hand-painted textures.

Best viewed while listening to:

Sad Statue, System of a down

That song is one inspiration for the image. I was not really a fan of System of a Down as a teenager, but some of their songs have strong lyrics. For a long time, I wanted to make a picture based on the idea of a sad Statue of Liberty, and this week’s challenge seemed like the best time for it.

At least it did last Thursday, July 2. On Saturday, when I read the news, I realized this weekend was the best of times and it was the worst of times for this. So I guess happy Independence Day to the people in the USA!
