Hand with Reflecting Sphere, after Escher


Hi all, here’s my version of Escher’s Hand with Reflecting Sphere. I did this one a year or so ago, but decided to revisit and make it better. Did a lot of work on his face and a bit on his body, made a lot of color and texture changes throughout. Hope you like!

This is absolutely fantastic! I would love to see how you did this. Did you model Esher and the room, and that is the actual reflection?!

Thank you much. Yup, it’s all modeled, and is just an actual reflection. The second shot is camera view… it’s just a pure white sphere, fully metallic, and 0% roughness.

Damn. That one would really be a challenge. I’ve already roughly started Ascending & Descending though and that is a few months from finish if I ever even finish. It took me a few tries in fSpy to match the camera but I got it… now I’m not even sure I want to tackle it. LOL.

Hello !
I know very well the original.
All I can say is WOW !!!
