One of the best ways to learn, improve, and challenge ourselves creatively is to study great artists. Remember Picasso famously said, "Good artists copy. Great artists steal."
Ok, obviously literal stealing is not Picasso's point. Instead the insight of his quote is to get in the habit of admiring and analyzing esteemed artists. In this stream we're doing exactly that; focusing on one of my favorite 3D artists: beeple. We'll look at his background, sift through his body of work, and discuss his artistry/technique.
Beeple is famous for creating an image (usually 3D and always incredible) from start to finish every day for 10 years - and he's still going by the way. Read that sentence again. Besides his absurd ability to create quickly, he's above all a gifted artist. His #everydays work is a deep well of abstract visuals, realism, voice, composition, emotion, etc. Trust me: There is much to learn from studying beeple.
Hi!
Oh. *Frowns*
William you've been voted off the island
I feel like the lighting is what makes his art so beautiful and impressive. Take out the light, and it would be a flat piece.

lol, sorry about that
What's a pink floyd or whatever?
That's so true Kamil
+10 to Joaquin for the longest post
Nathan, the reason why C4D and Octane have that "look" it's mostly because of people trying to copy a formula and look like other trending artwork. In reality the tools have little to do with it, is what people are making with them. A quick hashtag search on Instagram of "c4d" or "octanerender" will show you a wall of similar looking artwork, no because of tool limitations or looks, but because people are actively going for that aesthetics. Of course some things do look similar based on the tools (best example is that an Octane/Cycles render would not look like an Internal Blender Render), but then again, nowadays most "unbiased" engines are similar in that regard so I think we can dismiss that from the analysis.
