candlelight – WIP

what if my wheel of karma and my candles had a kid? you’d probably get something not entirely unlike this piece…

which is not to say this is a finished piece, because it isn’t even close

#1 start

gotta start somewhere

figured you only need to light one to see what it would do

underrendered but still going the right way

just too bright- especially for candles

this is probably too dark, but hey- candlelight

I love the test!
Love the smoke effects but…
hmm that amount of smoke is more like a incense stick burning … lol

I think #5 is amazing. It may not be what you want; but to my untrained eye it looks great. Maybe too much smoke for a burning candle?

like all of these – smoke is really well done

the candle would refract a little in the smoke closest to the candle…

The mention of the wheel of karma reminds me of my recent trip to Thailand with the Buddhists there.
