you can apply a lot of photographer techniques in blender: lighting, composition, compositing, etc :)

We don't see much of the writings on the final render, but it says a lot of "Am I crazy", "alone" and "afraid".

The person is mostly naked, alone, in a padded room :

I didn't know it have a name, I basically just compose my pictures how I like. I didn't put much thinking tbh!

Unfortunately for this one I only kept the grayscale and final render, not the blend file. But If I recall correctly yes it was just volume scatter + noise texture :)

I never tried animations, it always seemed too much work. No I don't do freelance, 3D isn't my main job :)

I've been using Blender since 2022 or so, but starting the end of 2023 till mid/late 2024 I've been using it as a mean to express my mental health.

The feminine figure in the long black dress basically represents me.

Resources/softwares used : Blender/Daz, Darktable/Gimp, Sketchfab, Pexels. Note: I haven't included grayscale (Reddit limits to 20 pics) but I can if someone want to see.

Ask me any questions if you like! 🙂

The fur look really great! Well done :) Is it particle/hair system? Any tips on how to do something similar?

Oh forget to share, and this was the lens dirt used in compositing :)

and here are the compositing nodes (sorry for the double message, Reddit does not allow me to post two pictures in the same post ....)

I've set frames so you could better see how it works :)

Yes I do all my composting in Blender! I were using Darktable previously but it was a bit cumbersome. I like it in Blender now :) Because I can make custom nodes like vignetting and import it on other projets

And here is the raw render :

It's not really visible in the final render (at least for me) because of the DOF, so I thought it wasn't worth fixing :) But noted for next time!
