Originally wanted a loop of Max and Chloe dancing, but got carried away :) Youtube link

 Just some test renders, will prob animate this when i get time.

Chloe out and about while masked :)  A longer version of a piece i did a while ago. Just out a of 3 day lock down in our town. Wearing a mask for another week when going out.  Good news im double jabbed!  Other parts of Australia doing it tough tho Made in Blender. Youtube link

Quick render test of some nice effects following @Berny_TheOven and @Sanctus_Art tutorials on youtube.  Loki dissolve and Thanos snap effect combined. Will tweak and mess around and see what else i can do with it. Rachel Chloe change effect

 Happy Bday Rachel Amber!

 Full length version. Youtube link

 Small animation test of the static piece i did. Will have a slighty longer version out. The bubbles are particles, water is mesh modifier, volumetrics used for steam rising.. all done in blender.     Chloe Twitch Streamer

Attempts a twitch stream.. this is how you do it right? Its seems this is now how you twitch stream. Might animate this later.        

 Twitter now supports full no cropped pictures in the timeline feed.  Only works for the twitter app on tablets and phones atm. Tested it out with a quick scene render using 3:4 ratio. Tweet:  Whats the big fuss over this no crop on twitter *checks phone/tablet app.. ohhh my god! 😅 #lifeisnocrop #LifeisStrange #chloeprice #FANART #Blender3d pic.twitter.com/xAOEBDfzLM — Mike (@Mike_Kossi) May 19, 2021    Pic:  

Made this small comic when LIS Before the Storm just released and we found out Chloe kept a diary.. only posted the first page and forgot to post rest.    

 Been playing Cyberpunk recently and really loving the world and characters, once i get past some bugs :) Inspired i did a quick and rough hair style using Blender hair particles. Forget how amazing Cycles is especially with the PBR Hair node. 

The girls having some fun. Youtube link Fun to setup in Blender. Using volume, translucency, particles, DoF, Cloth sim. Rendered in Eevee.  

Animated a static piece i did a while ago. Blender eevee takes a bit more effort to setup (light probes, shadows, reflections etc) But the speed is amazing 😀 Still have a few issues..  Lamps show up in reflections as round balls... need to reduce the radius a lot. Needs a invisible reflection option like in cycles. Again Lamps show us in volume areas, should be a hide from volume option. Messing with volume distance works in static shots but animated it wont.

Small animation inspired by recent events and messages. Youtube link

As all the elements are already there, did a quick animation. Stay safe if your at home and isolating. Youtube link https://youtu.be/7aoQcZy47aA LiS - Lock down

Lots of place are shut here, keeping social distancing and washing hands! Modeled a mask and rendered all while waiting for Doom Eternal to download and install.. Might animate if i have time.

Finally has some time the animate and render a longer version in Blender eevee. Tried out the new mantaflow sim for the steam.. worked well but is fiddly to get what you want. Youtube link: https://youtu.be/1nbLfH_BlKw LiS - Valentine Diner

Yeh i'm late, but its the thought that counts! 😅 Small section test render, as usual i went overboard and the final render would take a tad longer. 🤯 Diner Valentine

Happy new year 🎉.. traditionally late as i needed a few days to recover!:) Wanted to add some animated fireworks on a older static piece i did 2 years ago. Started off well and finished quickly.. then i started animating the characters and got carried away. All done in Blender using Eevee. Post in Premier. Higher rez video below  Some issues: Subsurf modifier makes the render speeds jump up astronomically. Went from 5 sec per frame.. to 30 sec per frame. Transparency modes other then clipped shows up in volumes. Odd reflection issues.
