Phase 1:

Phase 2:

Phase 3: with Magic texture (of course! they’re unicorns!)

I used the Bridge Edge Loops technique for the unicorn’s horn, & it could stand improvement, but I’ll move on, & get back to that later. A difficult technique for me still.

Simplified version of Adventure Chess, with dungeon & center hill.

The players can only see what the pieces can see, each piece has an attached camera.

Might as well make the mountain a mountain, right? Reference from El Capitan, Yosemite, California.

Nice! Can’t get over the idea, that this scene really needs some abstract style background - something blurry-surrealistic in style of Salvador Dali… What do you think?

[Bradley_Bowers]

thanks, man, good suggestion, I love Dali’s work, & was drawing a blank on the background, so I’ll feed that into the noodle machine in my skull & see what comes of it.

I really appreciate your fresh look on things, items, subjects, etc.
It’s nearly always a surprise!

[Bradley_Bowers]

thanks, FedPete, that’s very kind.

I’m trying out a horsehead nebula image texture on a background sphere, bc it kinda looks like the chess knight.

minor tweaks to knights.
