Mega Viking Snowglobe

[julesquirin]

Greetings, artists from all worlds and all realities!

It's time to unveil the second part of the project done in collaboration with @death.milk.designs, that took quite a bit of time to make!

The following images were made using my custom build of Disco Diffusion, photo-manipulation and digital drawing through Gimp and Inkscape, and post editing/composition in darktable.

You can check out more artworks here!

I know it's hard to believe, but....

This started with the EXACT SAME IMAGES as the Mega Dwarven Fortress project. It all came from an organic slug-snail-creature that's also a food-truck selling parts from itself! Except this one took another interesting shape, in the first few results achieved by @death.milk.designs ....

Immediately, I thought of...

Some kind of city or architecture, in a very Dark Crystal way. So I ran it through my DD model to see what could happen to it, and this is what I got.

No more Dark Crystal, but some stonework details that reminded me of our first project. Hence my decision to take it in a complete different direction. @death.milk.designs took that image and gave it another spin through MJ with a surprise twist, and the result is what I started shaping up later on!

This is more like it!

Now the idea came flowing in me, SNOWGLOBE YEAH, for sure, or an alien helmet as well, but mostly SNOWGLOBE! And I wanted to keep it into the fantastic and mythology realm as well, so I chopped the quarters and ran it in 4 parts inside DD for a first render.

Almost there!

I have the details I wanted, the snow, the wood work, but its not enough, its not... "disco diffusion" enough. So I cut this into quarters, and each quarter into quarters again, and ran it 16 times, individually, through my model again! (around an hour per slice...). Then stitched it back up together in Gimp and composed in darktable... et voilà!

Details!

Tiny details everywhere! Small huts, snow mounds, dead trees, boats, barrels, wood carvings... the more you zoom in, the more you discover things! And that wood texture, how lovely! Very satisfied with the final product!

That's all for today, I hope you liked what you saw and what you read, if you did or not just let me know in a comment, you know you have the power to influence what I will make next! Let me know what you would like to see!

Excellent works, visually charming, they reminded me of the introduction to the episodes of the "Game of Thrones" series... :))
