#plus a ram skull in the coven header

1st part done! this is the three pillars that'll be in the centre. the mirror modifier on blender never works with me properly so it isn't EXACTLY how i wanted but it looks GOOD ENOUGH!!! It'll be lit up (hopefully) on the cover so the cool geometry can be seen more. I also had to learn how the 3D cursor and origins worked for this so was good practise!

Going to work on this more later today (it is. 1:30 in the morning now) and for my own personal reference the action plan is as follows:

Wednesday: finish all modelling/sculpting work needed

Thursday: research how to do proper rendering and texturing (this might come down to being UV shading tbh since I know how to do that). Hopefully work out a more glassy/reflective look for this and some other 3D elements

Friday: Text design for the logo. this shouldn't take ages and is effectively a rest day

Saturday: background design - will require a bit of writing/photographing but I can do all of that

Sunday: working out which program I'm going to compile everything on. The easiest solution would be to model the ENTIRE thing in on Blender (so i construct the background behind the 3D peices) then use software like GIMP to add the text. the other option is using adobe's background remover and using screenshots of the modelled stuff but that might result in a lower quality image

I think allowing more time for the learning how to render day might be a good idea so everything might be shifted down a day but still. the modelling can be DONE because i can USE BLENDER COMPETENTLY

So new ENTV video out (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FN8-EgqnRmQ) about Coven. Few thoughts

a) I am going to need that journal I do not care how I obtain it

b) it's going to be set outside of the endless woods. That are endless. Interesting to see how that plays out

c) soman talking about why people are drawn to the coven so much is very funny considering he didn't mention the Very Obvious Reason: wlw people

d) the prospect of the books getting graphic novel forms is very very interesting. I would honestly say for this I'd rather they be prequels/TCY graphic novels instead of TSY, solely because I've seen book 1 so many times in different forms. also I do NOT want to see Aric in the red school art style

e) I think I'll try and enter the competition since I can in fact do graphic design. Wait for it to be US shipping only lmao
