This was my entry into Daz's Movember contest. I meant to post this a lot sooner, but life and WoW's new expansion has kept me very busy. I had it up on my personal Facebook page for the contest. This was literally the most involved render I've made to date. I spent a few days just making the background images, building frames in Blender to house them (and a few props, such as the photo album on the arm of the sofa and the lamp), and then importing them into the base scene.

Every time I thought I was finished, I had one more little detail to add. I spent so much time agonizing over every last detail. I lost track of how many days it took to finish. I was literally shaking by the time I finished it LOL. I had my nerves so worked up. I definitely stepped outside of my comfort zone. This was my first time submitting anything into a contest.

Here is the original description for the render:

"A few years ago, I wrote a short story about a young man that achieves his dream of graduating from college. It was a happy yet melancholy story that reflects his father’s silent battle with cancer and eventual loss. When I heard about the Movember contest, my first thoughts were family, joy, loss, and the future. I wanted a scene with a father and daughter sharing a precious moment, but also reflecting some of his past.

He was largely inspired by the young man from my short story, one that lost his father before going to college. A father that had worked all of his life, to ensure his son achieved his dreams. Despite his loss, he felt as if his father was right there with him, cheering him on throughout his journey. After losing his father, he knows the importance of early screenings. He wants to be there for his own child as she achieves her own dreams someday."
