Hey everybody. So after 3 years I'm extremely happy to present to you a new environment in the world of the Spice Vendor. It was after the glorious collab with this awesome community, that I realized that my simple educational project has transformed into an actual world, and this made me want to expand it and explore more of it's areas. As a token of gratitude, I made a special CGC version, hope you can spot a little guest there. Cheers.
Yet another Fantasy Environment masterpiece by Vadim 😀! Awesome work 👍! And a candidate for the next Collab 😉 ...
Thank you so much, Ingmar! Whatever be the next collab topic, I'll do my best to participate. It was an awesome experience last time :)
It looks like a very inviting place to visit.
Thanks Matt. That's the feeling I was aiming for.
Absolutely stunning! I just love it and hope I can re-locate there sometime soon 😁 What a couple of wonderful images, thanks for sharing them Vadim! Now I'm off to admire them some more!
Thank you, Keith! Yeah, I wouldn't mind settling down in one of those houses myself hehe.
I thought the first two images were concept art again.
No, no they weren't. They were full fledged models of a windmill!
It took a whole CGCookie collaboration to do this last time. You finished this all yourself.
Really impressive work!
Haha, thanks a lot, man!
But, to be fair, I would still call it a concept art, as I only used Blender to make a simple 3d blockout, and then heavily overpainted everything in Photoshop. There's no way I would be able to achieve the result you guys did purely in 3d. Although, I do plan to further explore the 3d production pipeline, so maybe I'll even get to contribute something to the next collab project, if there will be one.
Jesus Christ that is awesome. You have a masterful way with colors and composition, I'm totally stealing your brain data with the Matrix I know Kung-Fu tech. I can see Melvin doing a cameo, cool.
Thanks a lot for the kind words, Omar! And happy you've spotted our little yellow friend.
Honestly, my brain data is so messy, it will crash all your tech. I don't even know how I'm managing to deal with it myself lol.
This is amazing! It's hard to believe this is all 3D - especially the background. Is it? It looks like an old school painted Disney background
Thank you!
I used 3d for initial block out and base colors, but after that heavily overpainted everything in Photoshop. I'm a concept artist, so pure 3d isn't exactly my specialty. Although I do plan to recreate this scene in UE if I have time. We'll see, how it goes.
Awesome

And for our next collab...
The Windmill House, the Castle, or...
an epic collab, Spice World?
I love your work, such a beautiful peaceful place, with stunning color and amazing artistry.
A place we all dream was real.
I look at this piece and find myself wandering along the winding path without a care in the world.
It fills me with so much joy.
Staff Picked 🏆
Thank you so much, Adrian!
I definitely plan on expanding the Spice World further, so there will hopefully be plenty of stuff to choose from.
On a side note, I'm currently reading the Dune series, so the Spice World brings totally different images to my mind haha.
