This is the second collaborative piece that I have created with the very talented Dutch artist, @eattheart23. Here, a samurai warrior stands guard, honour bound to protect his master even to the death.
Red Cactus
I created this piece with Cinema 4D and Octane Render. I had an idea of creating a cactus / aloe type plant only using a few shapes and colors. I was really excited how it turned out. The contrast and color palette reminds me of a space-like desert.
