—stained in sin.

so, i made a model of the pendants inn room from shadowbringers and entered it into the 2026 fanfest art contest--and it's a finalist entry!!

when i initially started making this, it was well before things were announced back on halloween 2025; but, after on/off work from november 2025 to late february 2026, it was done in time for contest submission! i love this thing to death, haha.

it's built inside a picture frame (that i think is 6x8?) and is smaller overall than an eorzea encyclopedia :)

I shared this on a gpose tips & tricks post on bsky that I'll share here too incase someone finds it helpful :) When using DoF, I like to give some distance between the character and the surrounding areas, so that the area of focus around my character is sharp while the areas in the foreground and background is blurry. DoF ref from photographylife.

Vanilla gpose has the DOF option, but I prefer using CinematicDOF shader as it has better manual control and the blur is smoother. I recommend it on Manual-focus plane and turning off auto mode for better control of focus and strength of the blur (Far plane max blur and Near plane max blur).
