Kraken in the CupboardMythical depiction of the Kraken bursting its way out of a bookcase cupboard.

Rendered using Cycles X, with all compositing done inside of Blender. I originally began making this to see how closely I could recreate my own dining room, but later decided that it could be pushed further and developed into a full scene by adding in some more elements. Created with some CC0 assets from ambientcg, polyhaven, blendswap, unsplash, and avopix.
