Comfort of Pathos
I wanted to create something that visualized the dark but comforting aspects that can exist from the pure emotional side of a person.

Sadly I had some hiccups and lost some of the in progress screenshots.
Added a dim orange-red area light from above, replaced the world volumetrics with a local cube that just fit the scene and slightly altered the camera angle. A much larger render of this would become the final, which is available as a print.
Added a lower cyan area light and a smoke simulation emanating from under the creature's ribcage. Discovered and issue with world volumetrics and smoke simulation in rendering.
I used Meshroom to generate a point cloud of a model, cleaned up the point cloud after importing it in Blender, then converted it to a particle cloud with emission.
Posing test render with final materials.
New teeth and gums with final materials in cycles. Added volumetrics.
New teeth and gums, stand in materials in cycles angle 2.
New teeth and gums, stand in materials in cycles angle 1.
First final materials cycles render. At this point I realized I was not happy with the teeth.
First render (done in Substance Painter) of the final materials.
