It took awhile to figure out how to create an textured Native American Woven Basket in Abstract but after a few months I think I did it. Render time was a little over 35 hours.
I have been a bit slow to start my next project. Was thinking of doing something little more simple this time but I decided to do a Shogun Castle based on the photo my DH took in Japan in 1980. Seems I can't do anything easy. ;O)
I wanted to work on the sky first and was thinking of doing a soft sunset with the clouds radiating out from the Castle. Decided I did not like it... or maybe it might work, with some more shading added. Still not happy so I started over again. I rarely have this issue but for some reason, this time I do.
Its really hard to see the pencil lines of the Castle but I have started on a different sky, more simple. The photograph of the painting's color is a bit off due to the camera and the lighting in the house.
I don't normally post photos taken with my very old simple Nikon 4300coolpx but this photograph came out pretty well.
Something a little more simple than my fabric textured Abstract, but I think just as fun.

Unusual shapes, almost gossamer in feel, heart and flowers sprinkled about. Not sure I like it but it is a bit different.
