If the title sounded odd, it’s because I’m posting two works. I’ve been in hiatus since December (I even typed Elysiun to get here), but here’s a couple renders I’ve done to start warming back up. I don’t know if links to Deviantart are in poor form, but kindly forgive my lack of proper image hosting. I’m not a fan of things like imageshack.
First is a model of a plush penguin I own with an icy Blender logo.
Ice texture from nVidia’s free texture pack, rest is Blender. Would have liked to have done caustics, but I guess that only works with yafray?

Second was a gift for my mother’s birthday. She likes African themed items, so it’s an African drum with an African landscape ‘planted’ in the drum head. I guess the pond looks rather cheap, I was in a rush to finish. Cloth, wood, and dirt textures from nVidia’s pack, rest is Blender. Acacia tree generated with l-system script (with a bit of manual post-editing), but the leaves were static particles.
