I am a novice artist, and I started learning Blender about a month ago. I spent last week following the tutorial, “Beginner Blender Series” by Blender Guru (found on YouTube), and decided to take the tutorial far beyond where I found it. Below is the result.
I have posted this in “Works in Progress” because it’s very much a novice work. However, at my current skill level, I’m finished with it. I’d love to come back another time and fix the lighting. I’d been hoping to create a dark, slightly smoky room with a soft light pointed at the nuclear power poster and highlighting the character. But, I have alot to learn about lighting a scene…
