Eye of Winter is a piece that represents breakthrough — not just in technique, but in mindset. After countless failed attempts to achieve this kind of visual depth and atmosphere, this was the moment I knew… I got it. Blender no longer felt like a confusing set of tools — it became a language I could finally speak fluently.
This was my second major milestone. The first was realizing I could make something I was proud of. The second was knowing I could do it again — on purpose.
The stained-glass motif, the symmetry, the divine and surreal feel — all of it was intentional. Every render before this taught me something that led to this moment, and this artwork captures that feeling of standing in awe of the door you just opened… and realizing you built it yourself.
