Magic Happens Everyday

"All our dreams can come true,
If we have the courage to pursue them."
-Walt Disney-

This my goal - to find those special magical moments in a day and bottle them up into a wonderful story for others to explore and experience.

The 5th image for the 2023 Halloween Countdown

Day 5 of the Halloween Countdown 2023 brings us "The Dark". I always love the line that goes something like this: "I'm not afraid of the dark. I'm afraid of what's in the dark!". This is what I was thinking when I pulled this one together. The challenge is, we need to see something, and it cannot be a pitch-black screen.

I always follow a consistent pattern - check out what I have from Daz by looking through their website, then build out the scene, then place the camera and lightning, and finally render.

This guy is a fun one! I want to attempt to do something in Unreal Engine with this one! You can barely make him out in the Iray preview.

The final render looks a little more doable.

And with some Photoshop and Lightroom tying it all together, it is ready for Instagram.

There you have it! A wicked big beastie to contend with on a cold October night! I'm not so sure we could outrun this fella...
