Home of the eldritch guardian


Final result

Had this idea over a year ago when watching mountains and valleys with dense forests.

Used this project as a way to experiment with different techniques such as the ivy generator add-on, procedural brick material, custom bokeh, 3D scanning and entirely managing the post processing in the Blender compositor !


Clay render


Custom Bokeh
Made without add-ons, learned the technique from Gleb Alexandrov


Post process in Blender
Instead of using photoshop, I tried to use the Blender compositor to mix the render passes and work on the colour grade.


3D scanned character
Since the character is rather small in the artwork, I thought doing a simple 3D scan with the Polycam phone app would be a good idea. I then tweaked the material to change the texture and my character was done.

That’s very clever, what did you scan for the character?

Thanks ! That’s just me wearing a poncho. I immediately did the pose to have these interesting wrinkles and cloth shapes and someone did the scan. The final result is only an image so I didn’t need to have a rigged character with a t-pose. It was fun to do !
