Mornings Beneath The Infinity Towers

Mornings Beneath The Infinity Towers

“I dreamt of trenches. Hundreds of miles long and miles high. Pulsating with the energy of life and opportunites. Now what I see is something different. Waking up to the horns and sounds of the tower crawlers like they did to the church bells in the olden days.” Unknown Writer – Infinity – 2733

Like many other of my projects I started this one with just fooling around. As usual I started to see something at some point and continued on. There was a vague goal of creating a scifi city sort of thing. I ‘sort of’ succeeded I suppose? Imagine a world covered by a sheet of glass. The reason? I leave to your imagination. The cities with their imposing dimensions hovering above with help of an alien technology.

Golden Hour

I started this one in late September 2020 with the Summer on its way out and Fall coming in. Even though there still were some wonderful sunny and green days left I must have started missing it already. So this scene became greener and greener and soon I found the right lighting and atmosphere for it to come together. It’s also a training piece for texturing and keeping an eye on scale in regards to plants in relation to each other. Especially the road material was a focus. I have had some fun getting it right and it felt good when it was finally right. I also like that it’s again a rather unusual scene for my catalogue. Just a peaceful nature scene. And right now with Summer 2022 marching in… I’m a little proud of this one.

CC 36 – The Chase V

CC36 – The Chase 5

I started this 2 years ago probably. One of those on and off projects… mostly there to play around and for training. 2 weeks ago I decided to finish it up and quite some things have changed in the scene since then. Aside of that there isn’t much to say. A just for fun generic scifi chase scene with some cool looking spaceships. But not in space! It could be seen as a continuation of this scene. I’ve had my fun and I hope you enjoy the scene! =)

Finished The Job


In order to come up with a scene for Aurora’s “Blue” topic for its newest release I had some initial trouble finding a good starting point. I started doubting myself since blue is pretty much THE scifi colour to go with and I never had trouble with that colour. But this time was different. I did have a hard time. The best way to overcome a block like that is to keep trying… and so I did. It too me a bit but I managed to find something. Even though the end result could have been a little less scifi generic. However, there are still some catchy elements in here. I would also settle this piece in my “Unknown Huntress” universe. I’m sure this pic could inspire some neat stories.


Created the base scene in Vue with testing Vue’s updated displacement mapping mode. Worked nicely and with RDT textures I managed to create a nice rocky ground with realistic features. From there I added the background structures and used DAZ Studio for the bounty huntress. All combined and rendered in Vue. All render passed were then moved into Photoshop for additional work. Mainly fixes, colours and atmosphere add ons.

Com-cept 39

This one originally started as a test file for displacement mapping in Vue. Surely could need some tuning here and there but I liked it already. Did some quickie post work and ended up with some moody atmosphere and lighting. Of course I had to add a scifi touch to it as well. Couldn’t resist. :D

Dance With Me

Dance With Me

A rather old companion piece to my Calista Square artwork. Decided to have a little more fun with the scene I’ve put together since a lot of work went into creating the scene. So basically a just for fun little thing. Two flyers having fun and performing kind of a dance in the sky. If I would live in that world and own an air/spacecraft like this… I would enjoy the hell out of it.

Chill Your Base

Last one for 2019, with the right message! Three and a half years I’m having this on my drive now. Waiting. For what? I don’t know. Maybe for that one tick that tells me to let it go. There’s nothing else/more to do on it. That’s what I feel now. I started this project to learn a little more about texturing. UV mapping and all that. Learned a lot, that’s for sure. Composition wise it’s not a bullseye but for every down there’s an up. And that up is the lighting, with which I’m faily happy with. Who wouldn’t want to live there and chill out every once in a while?

Com-cept 26

Finished this a while ago as part of my Comcept series. I had it on my drive a while and when the Aurora artgroup started a new topic, I figured it would fit nicely. No big story for this one though. Just me having some fun with a spaceship chase scene.

Emma’s Refuge

Emma’s Refuge

“There’s a high class party going on somewhere. She needed a break, contemplating to leave or not. She certainly has enough of all these caricatures, throwing around senseless phrases and drowning in mindless smalltalk.”

Although I worked on this for quite a while, it was a rather spontaneous decision to go for it. I downloaded a free promo pack of 3d cyberpunk buildings by Kitbash3d. When I started to convert them to make them work with Vue properly, I naturally played around with the objects. I found a neat angle and I suddenly had a scene in my head. Then I discovered that the fine folks at Kitbash3d made a contest. All you have to do is to use the buildings. “No problem!” I thought! =D

I don’t have many night scenes and took this as a challenge. Cyberpunk needs to be at night and even better with rain! Still, I decided to add a couple of elements you normally don’t see too much in a typical Cyberpunk environment. I fell in love with this scene while working on it and I think it’s easily one of my better pieces.

I noticed the potential of the scene very early on and spent a lot of time with details. I took apart the building objects and kitbashed stuff here and there for additional details. The lady was created with DAZ Studio. I sat down and modified the dress quite a bit and it turned out rather good. That dress on the right kind of woman would surely be a sight to behold. Rendering was quite a chore due to all the lights in the background. I did separate renders for the back and front. Which resulted in tons of passes I combined in Photoshop. So yeah, there were tons of adjustments in Photoshop.

Organica II

Organica II

Like so many of my works this one started by just playing around. Suddenly that creative spark strikes and one thing leads to another. Needless to say, I’m particularly proud of this one.

Imagine a field trip on an alien planet. There once were these giant bacteria like creatures roaming the surface (because scale doesn’t matter in our universe)… now fossilized. I imagine this place being part of a park much like the Yosemite National Park in the USA.

The giant shapes were created with Xenodream and imported into Vue. There I did setup the overall scene and assembled all the compositional elements. The terrain was done with Geoglyph2 and World Machine. The rocks come from a variety of sources. Mainly Blenderguru and Megascans. A lot of time went into detail work and multiple renders for adding that detail. Later on I had the idea to add some smoke to the bottom of the hole and decided to try myself on cloud modulation in Vue. Took a while to work myself into it but delivered the material I needed to bring in the detail I had in mind.
