Well, this is my latest entry (and most likely last for this competion, but you never know ;P).
If you are in charge of taking care of a group of people, and something awful happens to them, you would feel bad, sadden, regretful, and even rage, much worse if you are like a god to them.... this is my fallen god, on the day he realized the apocalypse had come and taken his sheep.
The whole angel and the background is done in blender, the girl was from my previous entry. As a background there is only a rgb color (which was one of the things I was trying to achieve, a nice background using no pictures), the moon from my previous entry, some simple mountains and a plane with sss on a specular material and turbulence to create the "clouds". Everything is model from scratch using blender (and tons of tutorials). Hair and wing's feathers are particle hairs with polygons instanced on them, the feather is modeled but rather simplistic. The rig for the wings is simple too, I'm planning on improving it and might try to do a short animation with it someday (whenever I have that rare spare moment).
All rendered in PT, for 6K samples and about 4 to 5 hours using a single 570, they were overnight renders, they've could be done with less, I'm sure, but hey, it was the oven cooking it ;P
Color correction on the exr file, no retouching besides logo. Straight from Octane.
Hope you like it.
couple more with minor tweaks on materials.
for this one I rendered a zdepth channel and had a little fun with it
