Hi all,
Our wonderful group Deranged-Dares has been on a semi-summer lock-down for a couple of months, but is now up again and running.
For those who don't know about it yet: it's a group for creative challenges. Every month we post 2 challenges, which you could do if your Muse has a writer-block or if you want to step out of your comfort zone. All art forms are accepted. You don't have to participate in all of the challenges, you can just cherry pick the ones you like. Or do all of them just to see if you can!
Anyway, we started out quite small by just inviting some friends about two years ago. But now we're back with new challenges we would like to expand. So if you love to feel challenged, we'll be glad to see you join.
Go check it out!

Zombie reporting for duty
Hi all,
Here I am again. I'm sorry I've been absent for almost four months, life has been kinda rough and complicated.
For people who don't yet know: I'm doing a PhD in physics. And I'm currently in my last year. Which is the year you're supposed to finish everything, write your thesis and hope you graduate. And also the year you realize all you've done before is not enough to write, so "just one more experiment". Even as lazy as I am, I've started working on the weekends and going home very late.
All of this hasn't been very keen on my art or my ability to keep up with DA. So I've kept quiet and didn't really login here, knowing I should
Commissions are open
From now on I'm open to commissions.

Glass Elevator and Building released!
After what took almost 1,5 years of modeling, learning, re-modeling, letting it rest, taking it on again, finalizing and beta-testing, I finally got my first product to DAZ. A lot of work went into this baby, so it makes me proud to present it to the world:

There are more promo's available at the DAZ page. A big thank you to the beta-testers and a special thank you to mustakettu85 (https://www.deviantart.com/mustakettu85) for making the 3Delight materials for this product.
Let me know if you make renders with it, I would like to collect them in this journal. Just drop a comment or a note.
And party!

Tutorial - composition
Some people asked me to do a tutorial on composition, and I'm way overdue, so here it goes.
Part 1: What is composition?
Basically composition defines where your attention goes. Generally it's the shape that forms if you outline all the attention points in a piece. So technically, every image has a composition. But not every piece has an eye-pleasing composition and not every image achieves the goal of bringing the eye of the viewer to the right places.
Theoretical example: suppose you have a girl and a lot of birds in the image. They are somewhere in a room full of books. You want the viewer to look at the girl and then notice the birds.

I didn´t know about this Group!! I like the idea of challenges, they can help inspiration during art blocks.
