Here is my submission done :slight_smile: Turns out the eagle was too ambitious after all, so I learned how to make this cool plant instead.
The idea came from watching a desert documentary for inspiration, and there was a short snippet on the blue headed agama, which did ‘pushups’ to attract a mate and would turn blue in the face. I thought this was just too funny to pass up, but I guess I took liberties with the coloring. Anyways, please critique! :grinning:

Some rocks become glossy in the desert heat. There is phenomena called rose of desert. If you lucky you my find it. Its sand crystals and clay that clump under the heat of sun and form shapes that look like rose flowers. Interestingly it is rarer than diamond and yet not as expensive.

You think ships were invented when deserts were still oceans? :thinking:

May be!

We don’t have any evidences the other way too.

Or, once what was sea has now become an desert. At least we have evidences of this phenomena. For example The Great Rann of Kutch.

Its appreciated when looked at in full screen. Lovely made. Modelling, colours, and eyes! Top notch. Even aloe vera pinched :slight_smile: Nice realism.
One thing though. If he had his legs stretched back and together pushups would work more for the upper body :wink:

Update. Was too busy this week, so reused a castle from an earlier project :sweat_smile: And I know… Dry sand wouldn’t keep that shape :see_no_evil: So let’s imagine that someone who built it had a bucket full of water!

Yes, I am aware of it :slightly_smiling_face: However, I usually decide where to put camera by the eye :sweat_smile: even though I think Blender provides a grid for it

Hmm. What the…?
Its actually matter of centuries. I thought deserts were deserts for tens of thousand of years at least.
I like that one in Namibia.

Desert, Sea & Space.

Nobody have ever understood them.

They hold many secrets within them, only to reveal segments that are need of the time at their discretion to give directions for the betterment of the race/s.

You have produced an interesting work of art.

Present it with the Rule of Thirds.

Seldom people come up with such interesting art. Let them look what needs to be looked. Don’t hide the highlights.

My only critique is I can’t tell whether the castle is supposed to be big or small? Since the texture on the wood is large it looks small, but not as much compared to the sand. :slight_smile:
