hidden faces, abstract textured blender renderAnother Blender cycles render of materials that combine emission and glass effects in one object. This one came out closer to a nebula effect - not on purpose, but not unwelcome. As I was working on it in Ps, I started noticing a lot of patterns that looked like faces - thus the name. I've discovered 11 faces so far. How about you?

New Year AbstractNothing too complicated. Just an abstract for the new year.

blocks 3d abstractNot very Halloweenish (which would be my normal subject matter for this time of year). The pattern reminds me of something. Maybe it's a memory of legos, or of a chunk of fool's gold I found when I was a child. There is just something vaguely familiar I cannot quite put my finger on....

denimpop abstractStarted with a photo of jeans... A lot of manipulations and this is where I ended up. Playing with halftone filters and color channels.

liquid abstract posterPlaying with custom textures and meshes in Blender (not a fractal, this time). Created a texture in PS and used it in Blender to texture a custom mesh. Then back to PS for editing. Also skipped AI this time. I just rendered the scene out at an extremely high pixel resolution. Takes a little more time to produce, so I just let it render over night.

azathoth fractal abstractA nod to Mr. Lovecraft with this one. As I played with the colors, I started getting this feeling of retro horror illustration.

Bounce abstractI wish I could express why I love this. I can't. Much of this piece was experimentation. I actually finished it this weekend, but ran out of time before i could publish it. Then I had real world work today, so I'm just now getting around to finishing up. Hope you like it!

Mystic Bamboo abstractHad some fun with this pseudo abstract of bamboo shoots. I had originally kept the colors very natural - then I started playing around. I found *so* many different versions that I loved; but, I settled on this one. I really like the glow. Makes the bamboo kind of mystical to me. Hmm... Mystic Bamboo... sounds like the name of a New Age group.

blood n butter abstractYeah, well, it looks slightly like something gory, to me anyway. This one was created using Photoshop's 3D engine, rather than Blender. For some tasks, Photoshop does quite well. After the initial render, I did some post-processing in Ps, then more work in Ai, then back to Ps to finish up.

dreamscape 2This one started from a couple of abstract photos I took with my iPhone. I used them in Blender to create a layered texture on an object, rendered it, then continued editing/filtering/etc in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.
