Dreamcatcher (Glow)

Posted on April 7, 2025

As mentioned yesterday, here’s one last version of “Dreamcatcher”. It’s a “night” version for those of you who prefer dark and glowy desktops.

It’s in the Pickle Jar for now but help me decide which version I should feature in the gallery!

Here’s a version of “Dreamcatcher” that more directly calls back to “Rings” from the ’97 gallery. It’s in the Pickle Jar for now. Which version should I feature in the gallery going forward??

PS: I have one more alternate take rendering and it will be available soon.

“Rings” was one of the original images in my gallery and I created sometime around 1995 using 2D tools.   Folks have often asked me to update it over the years.   Recently I saw a design (on a shampoo bottle of all places) that inspired me to go back to the concept.   I used Cinema4D here and the entire scene is comprised thousands of ellipses and spheres repeated symmetrically.    Jessie thought it looked like a spirograph design and it sort of does, but where that method using continuous lines here I am simply using cloned loops.   

Anyway, it’s been something I’ve wanted to try for a while and I hope you enjoy it!

Before I move on to other projects I wanted to take one last look at Colony, imagining how it might look once the sun has gone down with some bioluminescence.     Which version do you prefer?   Should one go in the Pickle Jar??

While I was creating “Androecia” I played with the idea of having the nodes emitting a stream of rising “bubbles”.   I ultimately decided against it but decided to take the project a step further and create something in the vein of an undersea organism that would exhibit such behavior.   Yeah, I know it’s kind of a strange image but I hope you will indulge me 😄

Once again, created using Plant Factory.  Thanks to Jessie for helping me come up with a fitting title.   It does bear some resemblance to my original “Colony” from 2004.
