Wow that really really is beautiful, makes me sad on seeing the thumbnail my first thought was "is that AI?"
(sorry) anyway, this IS superb. I particularly like the lustrous texture on the candles

Thank you for your kind words, @general-avalanche-43. It took two months to finish this artwork. It doubled the work of most of my artwork because I had to create the render first with Blender and then add all the details and paint over or under everything with Krita. I am delighted to hear you like the texture of the candles.

Always a delight. 
Such warmth ! and an amazing, somewhat surreal palette. What’s the recipe ? Cinnamon, vanilla… anis… blueberry… and zests

ah I knew the perspective seemed suspiciously perfect. 8) I’ve never tried painting over a render, sounds fun…

Everything that works well with Matcha tea, probably not all ingredients at once. slightly_smiling_face:.
I’ve done it a few times by now: Knight of Coins.
Not suspicious at all. 
Artists have used clay and handmade models for centuries. I am just using Blender to work in limited space and model materials cost a lot more. It is fun, during the two months, I had doubts about this technique, simply because of the heavy workload. Last time it was a tarot card and now artwork in wallpaper size. In the end, it was worth it. This is also a great method to create assets for games.
