15 Blender Artworks that Didn't Get the Attention They Deserve

Ever posted your artwork to a forum like BlenderArtists, only to get few or no replies? It can be pretty soul crushing to watch something you slaved over for weeks slip off the front page. And while it often means your artwork missed the mark (failed to impress or spark an emotion), it can sometimes just be bad timing.

Maybe you posted it on a Friday as everyone was leaving the office, or maybe you were unfortunate enough to post at the same time as a forum superstar, sucking all the attention away from yours.

So in some rare cases, a piece of great artwork slips past the blender community. This post is to bring them back into the limelight, and give them the attention they deserve.

In no particular order, here's a look back on some of the sleeper posts from 2015.

Special Mentions

Ehrenberg Ruin by manitwo

Last week i went on a hike to the Ehrenberg ruins to shoot some reference photos for future matte paintings – and I thought i'll try out 3D scanning too. It's far from perfect but I'm actually very pleased with the results from this first 3D scanning test. Sounds are from freesound.org: BristolStories – reverse_clang2.wav Yewbic – abience03.wav Erdie – breath.wav ERH – cinematic deep bass rumble.wav

 

Lamborghini Armageddon T7 by Xelus

In celebration of getting my new system, I started working on something to represent the new system, and to see what is now possible to be done. Animations have become more possible to me with the new system. So here it is.
