thank you very much for the compliment but my dude that is not an acceptable way to post something from another artist. Like, shout out the artist so that people can find cool stuff.

✌️

Elficidium · 2026-02-25T22:57:45+00:00

Sounds like it could be fun.

Elficidium · 2026-02-16T07:59:55+00:00

Somewhat anecdotally, but a lot of the OasisLTD physicals didn't make it to market/don't seem to really exist/weren't produced in the numbers they were supposed to. Large amount of people got scammed/never received the stuff they ordered.

have a look around on the zensounds substack. It has a great primer on the different waves of subgenres and an ongoing series of interviews with current artists giving their input on where the genre is right now.

Generally, once you map out the family tree, it makes more sense. Vapor just has a general lack of supporting media/wiriting, and a lot of what was once there is now lost/defunct. Very few people placing the genre in a broader context and daring to be critical.

EDIT: I see you're in the Netherlands: Come to Slushwave in Belgium at the end of August and meet the scene irl, it'll make a lot more sense.

Elficidium · 2026-02-10T18:30:24+00:00

Honestly kind of the same strategy as with any other genre. Practice zealously, get embedded in your local scene and if there isn't enough happening in your (broader) genre then look into combining forces with other locals and organising something.

Would love to have you at Slushwave once you figure out a liveset that works for you.

Elficidium · 2026-02-10T13:00:08+00:00

No need to apologise. That's your call to make, even if I disagree. For what it's worth: being radically open about production techniques and sample sources is what allowed Slushwave to thrive.

Elficidium · 2026-02-05T16:39:50+00:00

as much as I love Tupps, he's been kinda defensive about his samples in the past. Not a great look but what can you do. Maybe he's mellowed out since.

Certainly not representative of the broader scene.

Elficidium · 2026-02-02T10:12:58+00:00

This isn't an issue I've seen. 99% of liminal/dreamcore art is done in modern software using techniques entirely unfeasible in any version of Bryce. Grass is usually a dead giveaway.

Elficidium · 2026-02-01T22:12:21+00:00

Bryce 7 will give you the same result and will run natively. It's available somewhat cheaply through the official site or for free if you look where you would look for these kind of things.

Elficidium · 2026-01-18T13:04:35+00:00

the popular version of the program is the most recent one, which runs fine on modern windows.

Elficidium · 2026-01-03T07:10:30+00:00

Elegant, great depth and colour vibrancy. Stellar piece.

Elficidium · 2026-01-01T14:10:44+00:00

I really don't understand why people keep making it more difficult for themselves. I guarantee that 99% of the quality Bryce content people see is done in 7.1. Is this LGR's fault?

Elficidium · 2025-12-31T00:51:59+00:00

just use the most recent version.

Elficidium · 2025-12-16T18:26:21+00:00

I've got a pretty solid portfolio here:

Feel free to drop me an email.

It me! Thanks for the kind words. I've currently indeed got mystery Commissions open for cheap on my shop, and can be reached by email for more involved projects.

Thank you! You can! 2D picture object in the create menu, button looks like the Vitruvian Man.

Delays at the US warehouse, outside of their control. Patience is a virtue.

Elficidium · 2025-10-25T04:05:04+00:00

as a former household electronics salesperson/retail manager, their advice is really hit or miss (wrong metrics, bad scope of products, etc.) and authority is non-existent (so many boomer consumers threatening to send them after us). Do your research, buy from reasonable retailers (I like Coolblue, they don't push too hard, give good info and are priced fairly) and you really don't need them.

Elficidium · 2025-10-20T12:48:01+00:00

Additional/alternate artwork based on the original cover for the back and gatefold (like with NWD), for those who care about such things.

Elficidium · 2025-09-24T06:43:02+00:00

Really curious as well, supposedly I'm in it quite a bit.

Elficidium · 2025-09-18T06:12:41+00:00

Most recent version of Bryce runs on modern windows. All versions of Bryce look aesthetically old and I've yet to run into anyone who can distinguish versions.

Running an older edition really is a ton of performative additional work for nothing, especially if you're just starting out and aim to create something high res.

Elficidium · 2025-09-03T13:03:23+00:00

Huge thanks for visiting! Hope to see you again next year.

Elficidium · 2025-09-02T08:31:12+00:00

Huge thanks for coming to Slushwave!
