I decided to use a royalty-free picture of space as a background to the spaceship I’m designing, but as you can see (left) it turned out to be a little bit, in your face. So I decided I could put a sheet of dark glass in front of it to take the edge off [...]

This is one of my favorite stages of the spaceship illustration process using Blender, the free 3D app. As I’m extending faces to form new shapes I try [...]
