Getting back into 3D...

AvatarRodulf1 min to read

After a few years hiatus, I am again doing digital art. I've been thinking about a series based on the mythology of Heracles on His hero quest to the underworld. As you can probably tell, I like dark, somber scenes with lots of mood. If you guys like this I might be motivated to do a series, depicting the Lionskin Wearer on his Hero's Journey.

I am the Son of a Goddess,
Her name is Madness.

Her gift to me
was the Divine Wildness.

Runes there are,
marked upon me,
in the Moonblood of Giant Women.

She, who is Mother of the Wolfskins,
place me among the Wild Things
that love You.

That I may stand with those
who have never called any man master...

Looks very Satanic and beautiful.

You could almost turn these into a visual novel or something. With the help of some of the members explaining Heracles and how it relates to the magus opas. It could be a way to promote the JOS. Printed versions could generate some income. Just an idea.

Thank you very much! I really don't need the money, but any image I post is given to the community. Feel free to use them to advance our cause. I am thinking of a graphic novel type meditation aid.

This indeed looking good.

Will you be doing some art with brighter lighting as well?

"You will be here as long as I am here and that is forever."

I do need to branch out and do something different. This series has mostly been about getting back into art and learning new software.

Nice! Do you work in Blender? What engine do you use for rendering?

I do the initial work in Blender, on Cycles rendering. Then I import the render into Krita and Fotosketcher to finish. On some I also use ArtRage.

Been listening to a lot of Joseph Campbell lectures these past few days and I had a lucid dream last night. I was going down a winding staircase and suddenly I knew I was dreaming. I continued downward into the dark and felt very excited and positive. I threw this piece together this morning, based on my dream.
