#first render

[0pointzero0]

I honestly don't know how many people will see this, but I'm just going to put it out here anyway. I want to become an aspiring artist, and I'm trying my best to learn how to make art whether 2D or 3D. I've been doing so (mostly 2D) for about 3 years now and I've made progress, although it's not steady. All of the work I'm stuck with outside of art stresses me out so much that I just don't have time for it.

A few weeks ago, I made my very first 3D render of a jelly dessert from a YouTube tutorial (I got stumped on the donut and decided to make something else). It took me about 6 hours, including the time I waited for it to finish rendering, which was done at 11 PM at night. I showed someone I know the image because I was very proud of it and how long it took me. I was told "AI could make something better" and "it's just a jelly, what's so good about it?" I don't know if they were joking or not, but it really hurt at the time and now. When I expressed that, I was told that I "get hung up on the little things." Maybe it's because the "women get too emotional" I hear from them sometimes, but I just didn't want to argue. I got no support whatsoever because no one else I know does art either, and I'm not the kind of person to socialize.

This is the very first time I'm posting anything anywhere, and it's a shot in the dark, but I'm just looking for a little feedback without this being seen as begging. I'm just a college student doing something as a hobby, but now I'm just not sure.

Thanksgiving 2021

Deep in the forest I stroll... to hear the wisdom of my soul.

I finally took the jump and made my first render! Technically this is the second one, but who’s counting. It’s far from perfect but I love the lantern light and the general atmosphere.

This was only possible because of @cyansimblr‘s tutorial. It is fantastic and very clear, thank you so much for creating it! 💕

Learning the mantissa

I spend so many nights staring at the moon thinking about you. And then I wonder, if you’re staring at it and thinking about me too.

FYI i have no fucking clue what i’m doing. I watched a stream or two and vaguely listened to a tutorial on how the hell to use Zbrush, and this is my first model... ish.

All it is is a head, and the proportions are totally fucked, and I still hae no idea how to use subtools and move between objects.  So I dunno, some kind of brassy merperson? They just want to hug you.
