Time Fly!

Pure, Cycles, 5.2

What happens when you leave a watch open overnight!

Some sculpting, some drawing, and a whole load of filling in holes! Great to nail the cogs too :slight_smile:

finally some compositing for the glare and film look

How it was done

first some cogs and background stuff

and a basic cube for the body

Got to check that everything lines up

finally some color and materials

Thankyou :slight_smile: For me I liked adding the bloom and film grain in compositing. The bloom adds the sparkle, but the grain adds the grunge at the edges - it sort of dirties it down a bit - for me :wink:

Temporal Apparatus


"A Time Ship is a little known highly experimental aerial construct operated by Aeron Sanctum. Meant to be able to manipulate temporal field of certain magnitude, it could only be activated under supervision of at least three Time Seamstresses, and must be approved directly by the Arch Queen herself.

Failed sequence of operation is said to bear grave consequences due to temporal and spatial incoherence which might form around the edge of its effect radius, which might trigger Omega Scenario cross-realm intermingle domino event.

The constant secrecy surrounding the ship, however, has led to rumors even questioning its own existence, as well as the rise of some theories stating that the apparatus might have already been used extensively to alter known time flow to shift in the Sanctum’s favor, citing some Mandela effect related examples."
