I definitely like the model, but I do think that the _presentation_ could be improved some … giving the background sun/disc a color, and likewise also the three-point light rig. I could also see some possibilities for imagining him to be even more boldly colorful. (“Outlandishly colorful?” Who knows …) ---

Hi, thanks for the comment! 🙂 Well, I’ve tried several different color and ligthing variations, and finally decided on this one. ---

Hi folks, my “Rupert - Behind the Scenes” article was just published on BlenderNation 🙂 > **[Behind the Scenes: Rupert the Bird](https://www.blendernation.com/2020/02/21/behind-the-scenes-rupert-the-bird/)** > > Hi, I’m Marko, an illustrator, animator, and director from Slovenia. In 2019, I started to learn Blender. I had done lots of drawing, painting, illustrating, and animating before, but it was all 2D.
