This piece was partly inspired by recent storms, specifically where there were many people concerned of where the storm's path would go and what the hurricanes might bring or take away.

So this piece, for me, as I tried to approach it as an artist, in the character depicted here, is somewhat of a meditation on those considerations as well as the human aftermath and determination to rebuild, even if the world as she knows it seems shattered at the moment.

I also think to the situation the world faces economically at the moment, the figurative storms and very real fears that situation brings yet the need for everyone to remain resolute and hopeful wherever possible, and that thinking also partly influenced this piece.

On a technical note, this project was approached in a manner similar to earlier pieces of mine, such as "Autumnullified," where geometry (mesh) was established on a per-face level, then duplicated / scaled / rotated / proportionally edited / sculpted over many iterations to build up what is finally seen here.

I have described this technique as something like "painting in 3D," and it very much feels like that as the scene comes together. It is a work- and geometry-intensive technique, but I particularly enjoy the uncommon (i.e. in the 3D world) result it can lead to when done properly.

The render itself is pure Blender, no post-processing in any other software.

Thank you for viewing my creation,
