Gone for It Final

Dreams against the [expletive deleted] reality. 😉 The way we wish it and the way it is. Sometimes, some of us can take no more of it, and to hell with the consequences. 🤣 That sort of thing. Yet, on a more self-deprecating note, when someone asked a police psychologist what, in plain language, was the difference between a 'normal' delusional dreamer and a mental case, he answered, 'A delusional dreamer simply builds castles in the sky, while the mental case actually moves in and starts living there.' 😆

Anyway, this one was inspired by Music under the Snow, a song by Andrey Makarevich. Here are the lyrics: it's important to understand them to see what it has to do with this work, but the English translation leaves much to be desired and dropping the original into Google Translate might in fact do a better job, unless someone plans to actually sing it.😉

And technicaly, the biggest challenge this time was to light the interior so that it still looks like a dark room at night, but shows something in (almost) every nook and cranny, instead of featuring vast splotches of black emptiness. There is no way I can upload a 4K PNG anywhere to show off these efforts at their best, but there you go: we do what we can, despite the ugly damage the hard lossy compression does to our masterpieces. 😂 (Well, here is the link to my related Blenderartists post: the 4K JPEG, once downloaded, doesn't look too bad). And the TV screen shows the photograph I took myself: no copyrights copy-wronged.

P.S. Yes, I was born in Ukraine, but I still respect Mr. Makarevich for his integrity: something more rock stars worldwide could use, IMO.😎
