I wanted to share this 3 flowers I made, I’m pretty happy with how they look:
Gladiolus:
Peach Blossom:
Lilium:
I didn’t want to go with 100% realism, I knew the flowers before I modeled them and wanted to focus/accentuate the things I remembered about them rather than just duplicating an image. I don’t know if I succeeded at this or if it looks like a weird attempt at photorealism… Either way I like the result.
