K1te, That is an impressive effort ! How long have you been working with Blender, I tried about 4 years ago and gave up.

Wow, it looks so real.

Thank you guys!
@wbool63 I've been digging into Blender for about a year now. Still so much more stuff to learn.
And considering new stuff that emerges, the Blender constant updates and changes that they bring this process is pretty much permanent. :hehe

I've made a lot of stuff in Blender but just reluctant to post it here. Magnifying Glass is an exception since i made an attempt at it earlier with GIMP.

Edit. Snapshot of WIP

I don't think that at all.
But this design with Blender is excellent!

I'm going slow, I do not want suffer disappointment for having skipped steps to go fast.
In about a year I have plan to use only Blender render, and see if I can do some animation. Then start with Cycles.
I see that screenshot with nodes and I start to tremble with fear :mrgreen:

Good lord! I've never heard of "Blender" but it would appear that someone with huge talent can make it perform some fascinating feats! Absolutely outstanding.

K1TesseraEna i think both your attempts are really good, but this Blender image is simply amazing.
Nicely done.
