Maybe there is an exit this way?

The main poolrooms project I'm working on has managed to escape the liminal feeling I wanted and is now sitting halfway between poolrooms and mallcore. I made this scene to try and return to the bizarre architecture that poolrooms are known for.

I did not originally intend to include my work-in-progress dewott model. I did a number of test renders of various compositions of the set (there is an area above the water as well) but the camera angles I chose didn't feel right without anyone to set the scene. I rigged the model enough to make this pose.

If you liked it and want to see more, please say so.

I’ve finally finished reading through literally every single archived piece of the pokerus au you made and I gotta say, I loved every bit of it

you're a real one. take this joke comic bc I forgot glalie can learn Self Destruct

Teeth are hard

Scalchop Blade

I think the model captures the style of the original. The blade material was created entirely using math nodes and some custom object properties. Some compositing would probably help but I'm not at that stage yet.

This piece has given me an epiphany. A doorway as a framing device is a neat trick to enhance the liminal feeling of a piece.

Liminality is often boiled down to a feeling of unbelonging, which is to say, the sense that you aren't supposed to be there.

For all that a space can feel unwelcoming and alien, a picture taken from inside a liminal space will always have the tiniest bit of belonging to the space. A (hypothetical, in the case of a render) person had to actually enter the space to take the picture. In the moment the shutter closes, the photographer belongs nowhere but in there.

When a photograph is taken of a liminal space through a doorway, it's like an affirmation of the liminality of the space. You don't belong and you are acknowledging that you don't belong by not entering. You're peeking at something you know you shouldn't be.

Idk if I’ve posted this yet but look!! I made a new thingy!!
