Thanks to all who took part in our previous 'What goes up' challenge.
This week something a bit different. I heard the phrase 'Poison Pen' in a TV drama recently and my thoughts arrived at the image below. Made in 3D, the objects on the 'desk' are from Substance 3D assets, which I textured, along with the desk, in Substance Painter. The background was AI generated in Photoshop, using Firefly, and blurred to match the image before taking into Blender prior to rendering. Finishing was in Photoshop.
So we have our starter image, what will you do with it? You could use any or all of the objects, or make something using the entire scene.
When you post your response can you add just a few words on how you went about it. It may help others see the potential of different approaches, software, and tools to such a challenge.
The “rules”:
To download the starter image, hover over the image and click on the circle with the arrows at the top right. Then, when the image opens in its own window, right click and choose “Save Image As/Save Target As” (or similar depending on your browser).
When posting back your image — please use the blue reply button in this first post and use the 'Insert Photos' icon at the top of the reply box. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry, then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.
Have fun!

One of the rare glimpses beyond the rim of the earth which somehow stems the water, James.

Very unique. Looks like a secret door to a cave full of gold.

Excellent use of the pen(s). They'll boldly go, as long as the ink lasts. 🙂

I wonder if its made from the ink of the tiny poisonous blue ringed octopus?
But yeah, that is a cool illustration. 🙂

I've seen a video of tourist picking up a blue ringed octopus. She was incredibly lucky to survive that encounter.

@Christelle RD I hope you don't mind me suggesting this, but I'd have been inclined to increas contrast of the cap, and add a highlight to give it some shine.

Your message is more than welcome @Trevor.Dennis . I don't mind at all, thank you, and please feel free to send me your suggestions whenever you like.
I understand what you meant. So I went back to the artwork to improve the contrast of the bottle and also practiced adding highlights to the rose... it makes it look much more realistic. Thanks again, Trevor 😁

What does poison smell like? I have the spooky vibes.

(This sounds very Halloween) I would say: maybe, it smells really good to attract people, and then becomes fatal...

A clever interpretation, Alan. It looks like Alice already did...
