Spooky Castle I made for Halloween in c/blender@lemmy.world

Thank you, it is! I used Posterization in the compositor to get the image to be a bit more crunchy. It's not really noticable except for the valley fog, So I understand if it may be a bit out of place. Comparing to no Posterization at all, though:

I find the effect to be quite nice.

I was asked to create a poster for an event of a hobby group I am a part of; This image formed the base of the poster. That's why there's a larger unused area in the sky, to make place for headings and texts. Nonetheless, I am generally very happy with the image even outside of its use as a poster.

I am particularly content with the clouds; those are a relatively simple procedural shader, but Eevee's improved volumetric rendering made working with it a joy.

Otherwise, the image is rather blatantly based on Idylls of the King, a work by Gustave Doré which has been used for album covers on multiple occasions. What can I say, it's just a really nice illustration.

A Robin very much interested in my cake, in England's Lake District in c/birding@lemmy.world

I believe it was a coffee cake. I was in the middle of a nice hike through the Lake District's countryside when I happened upon this small café lead by an elderly couple who baked a different cake for guests everyday. You just sat down in their backyard and got served what was available today. It was incredibly idyllic, in the midst of fields and meadows.

Why didn't *I* think of that? in c/memes@sopuli.xyz

Can confirm, incredibly lovely place to exist in and go hiking. And when I was there recently, every day except the first one was incredibly bright and sunny; I almost felt robbed of the essential british experience.
