The Isle of the Dead by Daylight

 This is a new VR piece I've been working on in Blender (3D) & Unity (game engine/VR software). I've long been fascinated by Arnold Bocklin's iconic painting & have done several smallish pieces that have either been versions of it, inspired by it, or contain it as a minor element. Here, I've turned my interpretation/re-imagining of it into an explorable VR environment. For the moment, it exists only as a file on my computer, but I'm hoping to make it more widely available.

The sky is from a free skybox, via AllSky, by the way, I didn't make it.

The Lost Cities of Mars

 This is a VR piece I've been working on recently in Unity (game engine/VR+AR program) & Blender (3D modeling). It ties together a number of themes & ideas inside a handy alien environment. I'd like to develop it further, making the portal teleport to various areas of the piece, adding sound/music & perhaps other features. I'll mention here if these events come to pass. You can also see a video walkthrough, recorded from inside the Oculus Quest headset here on Flickr.

The themes involved include, time, eternity, the beginning & end of civilizations, what it means to be human, what it means to exist in the universe, the idea that everything that has happened in our world may have happened elsewhere long ago (or again in the future)...and many others...
