“Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same.” – Flavia Weedn

My personal tribute to the summer season. It has been a scorching yet blasting experience!
Thank you so much to everyone who has been part of the stellar and breathtaking moments.

so wonderful :slight_smile:

This looks great! I like the orange a lot. I think the heat distortion can be played down a bit but the scene really comes together and has a warm summer-like feeling.

Congrats, you’ve really captured the mood here.

I just had a few observations:

  • You might have carried the distortion you used to deliver the kinda hot weather just a little bit over

  • The foam on the top of the liquid looks somehow solid to me

  • The distinction between the ice and the melted liquid parts is not quite clear

Other than that, you nailed it :wink:
Nicely done !

R@my: Thanks for the comments! Glad you took your time to notice them. That is not a foam on top of a liquid, it’s a sand (I am embodying something else inside the glass).

Nice - maybe a little bit less distortion for me though…

Really nice! It’s got an interesting dreamlike quality to it. I think the heavy distortion actually works in this picture.

Love it! Simple models, but well textured and well lit. Nice job :slight_smile:
