Entry for Alice in Wonderland Competition In June


To_Wander_in_Wonderland_by_kelogsloops.png


I'll begin with a biiiiiig sigh of relief of exhaustion, brain stress and overthinkage! I've encountered about a gazillion difficulties and gosh has it been hell to pass them.

Can you guess how manu mushrooms there are?

The initial idea was to show a scenery where Alice walks into a shamwowmazing scenery with stained glass butterflies, but then I realized using a daytime light with enhanced light effects is rather wonky, so I attempted something I'd never done before! A NIGHT SCENE 8D.

Very nice :O. All from scratch?

I really like the effects you've done. I personally can't do surreal for nuts as I think very realistically :p. There are a few things I can see that don't compliment the depth of the image, but it's supposed to be unrealistic, so it doesn't really matter.

GJ. :D

There's something with the cards and castle in the background that's wrong. I love the foreground stuff though. especially the mushrooms.

edit: wait, is the moon a heart? dear lord.:p

I want moar lighting effects! The butterflies' light play is almost non-existant! (This is my realism engine kicking it :p You can ignore it if you want to).

Though if you can draw this well, you really should take it forward :D. Go do awesome stuff!

Edit: also there are 62 mushrooms :p. I counted upto 57 and then added 5 for good measure.

MOAR LIGHTING EFFX?! noway! i got too scared because there were TOO many i thought D:! well, if i were to focus more on the lighting effects i wouldve made everything darker.

Wow... looking back now, the image doesnt seem so dark at all!

hjaha thanks :)

BTW, would it be insane, but would you believe that there were approximately 150 mushrooms in this picture?

Actually there are a lot of threads in that section, you need to specify how old are the threads you want to view, at the end of the page :p.

As for the artwork, it's really awesome! As you said, I think the lineart spoils the feeling a bit, but it's nice, nonetheless.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
