Hooray! This is my first image made since I’ve returned to the world of the gainfully employed, and I think you can see that I was a bit tired and desperate when I sat down to lay it out (the decision to plop in an HDRI photo background rather than lighting the scene at all was particularly lazy). I will defend the composition with the fact that my square images are meant to be used as phone and tablet wallpapers, so I give a little more “safe area” on the edges since they’ll be cropped down in those uses.
I’m trying to figure out how I’m going to make it through the second half of this project now that my days are no longer my own. The first idea I’ve thought of is to try and lay out several scenes in advance during the weekend, so I only have to worry about rendering and post-work during the week. We’ll see how that works over the next couple days.
