In case anyone is interested, this was actually a remake of an old render of mine (which was also a lighting test). I wanted to take the same scene a year later, and give it a totally different vibe.
Which do you prefer?
The older version:
They both are beautiful and impressive artworks.
Personally, your latest render evokes a sense of warm cleanness. I take it as a sort of illumination of a dark but hopeful place.
Your earlier render feels more outdoorsy (but not necessarily more organic, if that makes any sense). It conveys to me more a spirit of perseverance in contrast to the first one.
That is to say, while everyone may have their own opinions, both pieces of art to me, are incredibly complex works, and you’re clearly insanely talented, so you make it hard to have a preference!
Your latest work does seem to have an incredible amount of meticulous work and effort put into the lighting, and this one seems to focus more on the background, but either way, they are stunning!!
