Kind of a thing now that people ask me to create key artworks for their indie games. I deeply enjoy the wild mix of genres and styles. The artworks have a horrible aspect ratio to present them on social media. Unless... you stack them! Find close ups and WIPs at www.artstation.com/daniellieske...

This one was a challenge but also a lot of fun to browse through the community model library and find cool 3D models for the key art.
Most of you might not know, but since May I've actually been working as the Community Manager for Jundroo, an indie #gamedev team making SimplePlanes 2! We just announced a release date in March, a demo in October, and awesome new key art by @daniellieske.com!

Got a couple of pictures from my latest artwork for you. While working on the "Ring of the Nibelung" piece, I realized that the style would work perfectly on one of my favorite comic characters - Hellboy by @mikemignola.bsky.social. So, it's a fan art for a change! #blender #eevee #hellboy

Name one non LOTR character who could resist the ring.

New version of "Tremble in Terror". I just needed more dark energy in this one. #Blender #eevee

The key art for Maarti Game's "Goeland" was a particularly fun one to create!
Goeland has its official Key Art!

Huge thanks to the amazing @daniellieske.com for bringing it to life! 💙

This is the first illustration that I created 100% in Blender. Titled "Zitt're und Zage!" ("Tremble in Terror!"), it depicts a scene from "Rheingold" an opera by Richard Wagner which I recently discovered to be a huge source of inspiration. More info in the Alt text. #Blender #eevee

Expanding my cast of Niblung folks. What fun is an almighty ring without subjects after all? Putting some more details into the ALT text #blender

I'm evolving my Alberich scene. Today I modeled a new head and played around with some additional post effects.

And some movies for the kids.

More work on the Alberich scene. I discovered a couple more tricks in Blender's compositor and I'm very happy that I arrived at this result without a single pixel added in Photoshop. #Blender3D

Trying to do in Blender what I would normally do with a rough painting. Not caring about anything a traditional 3D artist would care about. Well, and I've got a "Ring des Nibelungen" thing going on. Can't get my head out of that world. Haven't seen enough interesting interpretations of the chars.

Some moving images from those latest experiments.

Viewport compositing in Blender has become wild. I used to create images like these with a whole lot of post-processing in Photoshop, always being locked in to a specific shot chosen. These however are all directly from Blender. No 2D retouch whatsoever. Fully editable in real-time. #blender #eevee
