It occured to me not long ago that while I have wallpapers for several holidays, I have neglected one very imporant holiday: Your Birthday. Now, I don’t like to render food (or have it on my wallpaper) so I tried to think of something else.

I hope you like what I came up with. I put it together on my laptop while Shadowfax rendered the first draft of another new Autumn piece I am working on.

Of course I am posting it because it is my own birthday today (YAY!). To celebrate I am offering the new wallpaper for FREE today for anyone else who shares my birthday (or has one coming up). Enjoy!

I’ve added an updated version of “The Golden Hour” to the gallery this morning. The changes are subtle, mainly I’ve varied up the foliage color and added a few taller trees to the mix. I also set the “atmosphere quality” settings much higher than the first version so the light beams should be less noisy. The downside is the image took 3 times as long to render.

While the render was churning on Shadowfax I shifted over to Bucephalus and started a new project. I hope to have it up in the next few days so stay tuned!

Lastly I wanted to mention that there’s FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING in my Society6 store for today only (edit extended to 9/8/15).

A couple of items to mention this first day of my birthmonth. First, I’ve added a new render to the gallery this morning. It’s called “The Golden Hour” and it is the result of many hours learning the ins and outs of “The Plant Factory“.

It is an incredibly powerful addition to my 3D arsenal. I just need to spend a few hours every day trying to learn exactly what everything does. This piece is the result of one such exploration. The trees looks quite alien, I agree, but I wanted to see what that would look like rendered. It should be a splendid season ahead for fans of my Autumn renders!

I will most likely most another version of this in the near future but I thought it looked interesting enough to share as is. Let me know what you think!

I’m also thrilled to announce that my 2016 Digital Blasphemy Wall Calendar is now available!

For the first time ever I am going to send free signed copies to my Patron, Sponsor and Guardian Level Members (current Members upgrade here). If you are a Guardian Member you can tell me which images you want for each month. I will have it made custom for you, sign each page, and send it out free of charge.

Check back in a day or two to see “The Golden Hour” updated. I’m just getting started!

A few items to mention this morning. First, I wanted to show off a few of the new tshirt designs in my Society6 store. Ian liked his “Clockwork” tshirt so much he wore to school for picture day!

“Axiomatic”	“Synctorii”
“Green Divisor”	“Chamelea”

In addition to shirts you can get the new designs on many different products from duvet covers, to tapestries to shower curtains.

I am starting to put together images for my 2016 calendar. For the first time I am offering signed calendars. You just need to become a Patron or Guardian level Member to get one (first-time or renewal). Let me know if you have any questions!

Lastly I am bringing back my “DB4ALL” pages (wherein people who deserving folks (including teachers and servicemen/women receive free Memberships) and connecting it to my tip jar.

If you (or someone you know) sincerely want to become a DB Member, but have a good reason why you cannot afford it, share your story on the appropriate page. (Facebook account required). When I receive a tip from a Member or other generous art-lover, it will go into a fund which I will then use to offer free 1-year Memberships for each $25 in tips that I receive to those whom my Members and I feel truly deserve it.

How is this decided? In some cases I will make the decision myself, in others I will ask my Members for input.

If you would like to purchase a Membership for one of the folks who has posted, please check the balance in the Good Samaritan fund and make a contribution via my TipJar to increase the balance to $25. Include the name of the person you want to help in your comment with the payment and I will do the rest. I will assume you want to remain anonymous unless you instruct otherwise!

My son Ian chose the “Clockwork” shirt from my Society6 store and it finally arrived yesterday. I think it looks great but you be the judge. Ian said he might even wear it to school 🙂

Which of my works would you really love to see on a shirt like this? P>
