Fears of my Childhood

[Mistry]

Hi guys and gals !

This is my latest creation, its still in progress.
It’s based on my fears of my childhood, for example I was always freaked out my Mushrooms and washer/dryers (weird i know).
Im still in the middle of modeling, but I hope to be finished modeling it in a few weeks.
Then i’ll be texturing it and rendering it out in Multi Passes, i’ll also be making a matte painting for the background. I’ll be posting minor updates about every other day or so.

so I'm thinking that your going to go something about that logic defiing washer. looks like it's going to fall over and roll down the hill.

"watch out there is a washer roling down the hill!"
"oh no"
"Ahh"

I think I'm afraid of washers to now...

Cool idea. When I was a kid I was scared of those giant wooden spools that they wind telephone wire on... So I guess I can't say anything about your fear of washers. Although, as a person who doesn't have a washer/dryer in my apt. and I have to go to the laundromat, I'd say you'd be more justified in being afraid of not having one.
Maybe since your image will be a somewhat surreal one, you should looks to artists like Salvador Dali or Rene Magritte for inspiration.

hello again !
@

I’ll be tweaking a lot of things now, since the main parts of my scene
are blocked out.
The minor changes i’ve made are the nails on the deck and door. I deleted the second planet and shifted the washer over to the far left. I plan to have the door of the washer open (maybe).
The image below show my planes for the next week or so. Creating the pipes under the washer, making a candy cane for a chimney (because as a kid i was afraid of santa, true story lol). I also have plans to put windows into the mushroom. Fix the door on the house and mushroom, and add hinges to the door.

hi all !
minor update.
Add a “temporary” pipe under the washer for now, i will be add a lot more detail to it
just wanted to block it out.
I also added a small sign on the second island/planet, i’m gonna put “Keep out” on the sign (he he).
I also added a small window on the large Mushroom.

hello !
This time around i’ve added more pipes to the Washer, and created a third island/planet in the back. The red marks represent more stuff im gonna add.
If anyone has suggestions on anymore “details” I should add please feel free express them !

I like the idea, behind this scene
and beside that, the scene is modeled pretty neat!
The only thing odd is the shadow(?) under the hut of the big Mushroom!

to be completely frank I think you could have put a bit more work into the clouds




this is fun, I like it

[freakyihop]

I'm liking the look so far.

[Mistry]

thanks for all the comments.

Question:
I found like to insert a matte painting in the background (sky), but I was wondering which is the best way to put into my scene.
Would i insert the image when im putting my renders together in photoshop or do i insert the painting in 3D max, like the image attached below.

quick update.
Still working on the “tree” , i’ve attempted to start to make my on grass compared to using the hair and fur modifier.

quick update:
I've moved a few things around, this is not the final composition.
I'll be moving the Tree house down a bit more and scale down in
size the Washer and probably move it to the right.

Dude this is a cool idea, i love it, can't say i was ever afraid of washers but hey, every one has something right? ... personally i like the previous layout better, to me everything seem too lined up now ... before it had a sort of simplistic chaos kinda thing going which was working well for the image

i agree with Molo... i think post 12 has better framing. Still really like this wip so far.
