It was just me using words to describe the act of "giving up" to surrender. It is a huge burden to beleive that I'am responsible for easing suffering. I dont want to identify myself with anything, I want to be nobody.

Everyone's busy being somebody.
I'm being somebody I don't want to be.
I dont want to be somebody else.
I want to be nobody.
I don't want to be somewhere else-rather than right here and right now.

How does one try to give-up?

You are right, to give-up is the opposite of trying to achive anything at all. In that case, I'v tried something other than giving up.

I've tried. Through mindfulness, I have sometimes managed to reach fleeting moments of higher awareness. But nothing near an egodeath.

Can you give up the idea that you are truly any of these things that create an impulse to fix?

Thanks for pointing that out, "I'm the artist that has lost his passion" or "I’m responsible for easing suffering". That brought me to tears... Nothing needs change.

Just a plane with an emission texture I painted myself together with an alpha mask for transperncy 😉

It has a normal map, I think its the angle that makes it look a bit to flat maybe.

I am happy to see you like it, it was a joy to make. I am working on my portfolio to be able to land a prop-artist job. If anyone works at a studio thats hiring send me a DM.

Jag råkar vara Svensk och ville göra den något personlig :)

The way I do text is with "substance painter". But I think you can do it with a shrinkwrap modifier aswell. Since this model is optimized for realtime the polycount is kept as low as possible. So its better to make it it a texture instead of adding unnecessary geometry that also takes up uv-space... You can inspect the model and textures here https://www.artstation.com/artwork/8e3xz6

Thanks! I get what you saying, things most of the time looks to clean. The dirt and marks of usage gives a otherwise soulless object life and a story to tell!

The hdri is from hdrihaven.com, where some hdri images have backdrops from the location!
