thanks! getting the shadows to look fuzzier from varying distances was the hard part when figuring this out, as far as i know it's only possible in Cycles and not Eevee.

Wayang purbakala
The iconic myth from my hometown (a shark fighting a crocodile) depicted as Javanese wayang shadow puppets of Permian animals.
#wayang #wayangkulit #3D #blender3d #Surabaya #Indonesia #Permian #paleoart #SciArt
Submitted for the ilustra.see competition last year. This was an experiment on depicting Paleontology with Wayang kulit, a traditional shadow puppet art form from my country. Here a scene reminiscent of my City, Surabaya's founding myth is depicted, but instead of a shark fighting a crocodile, it is a Permian Spiny shark fighting an early armored sea reptile. Surrounding them are brachiopods, tabulate corals, and horn corals found throughout Permian strata in Java and Timor, while the Gunungans in the back have a simple wavy pattern to indicate the scene is taking place underwater. The wayang cutouts are drawn in Photoshop, imported as transparent PNG objects in Blender and rendered in Cycles to achieve the shadow puppet look

A series of creature sketches, most are clam and coral-like I find myself getting influenced by whatever is the latest paleo-critter I'm obsessed with

Spiriferid
#Brachiopod #3Dart
3D model of a generic spiriferid Brachiopod. It superficially looks like a clam where the sides of the shell tapers into points But Brachiopods are Lophophorates, not molluscs

Crab mascot at the echizen museum When you enter the museum you are greeted with this Santa crab My favorite part of the museum are these dried specimen in one room They are discolored but the forms still look beautiful and they're placed inside a glass box with black colored backgrounds The black colored backgrounds they chose to display the crab specimens really contrast their pale white carapace and highlights their forms
