Hey everybody,

Just wanted to share a couple of images with you all These are from my latest personal project dubbed "Raw Serenity".

Raw Serenity is an exploration of styles unknown, a step out of the comfort zone in search for the new and the different. Whether the project is ultimately categorized as a product visualization or even an interior render set is not really important. What is important is exploring new styles and new design principles which can eventually help create inspiring commercial work and help brands stand out.

I'd be happy to hear any and all constructive criticism.

Hi nejck,

Awesome...! You can really capture an atmosphere.

How did you do the fire?

I can give a constructive criticism, but really it's just an idea-

Make the blanket cloth a touch different color than the scene's material. I know you are looking to keep the motif, but just a touch more natural could bring out the blanket without undoing the atmosphere.
In some shots you have the fire or plant on one side, so the coloric symmetry it could be balanced out by a more distinct colored blanket on the other side.
Because the blanket to me has much more story-telling element than the fire or the plant, so the fact that the blanket is so close to the color as the stone and chair's material pulls away from the blanket.
It could still be tannish, or white?...or maroon red burgundy...something with tension...it doesn't have to be bright purple-pink or anything, but just a smidge to accent it apart from the stone.
That's my idea. Otherwise....AWESOME!!!!

Hey to the both of you! A little belated response but here I am

A big thank you for the nice words As for the fire, Its just a squareish plane mesh with an emissive texture + an opacity one. Does that help?

@Notiusweb
Oh sweet, thanks for chiming in! While the idea was to have a more monochrome color theme for this one, basically I wanted most of the tones to be some warm variant of something brownish, I do appreciate your comment and could totally see myself go into that direction. Much appreciated and thank you!
