Wassup degenerates? After watching Beeples MP drop video with him showing how easy it is to make a cool render, I said to myself: Fuck, let's do it like Beeple. Well, the problem was I never have used Cinema 4D before. Oopsy. So on Saturday night, I watch some tuts with how-to and early Sunday morning I kicked off my first "Everyday".

The idea for beeple-ish cover was simple: futuristic visualization of Christie's auction of his first 5000 everydays with a giant head dominating the scene. Sure, his renders are another mofo level but considering the fact I installed the 3d software the night before, I am pretty happy with the result.

Within the scene, you can see the auction participating bidders floating in their pods while the holographic hammer is turning in a circle waiting for the final bid. The year 2066 is referencing 1766 – the year Christie's was established. 

I wanted to draw a sketch but immediately I've been notified by Red that Beeple for sure isn't fkn drawing anything and sketches directly with 3d objects. So I obtained a file with 3d sci-fi parts from the asset market – a building kit all the scene is built from - and started to "sketch".

Honestly, after few hours of struggling, I was still not really sure whether I can finish the piece and whether I should not better try to draw it on a tablet or just fake it in Photoshop as I am used to.  

It is our 2nd CGI rendered cover so far. The first was art on cover issue #11 using really simple geometry and done in Blender. But only making Gazette cover is the best art training that is pushing me further within strict deadlines.

And who is actually trying to scoop Beeple's piece in the year 2066? Check the lineup of bidders by yourself in this slideshow. I loved working on this piece and I am sure we established a beeple-ish cover tradition for the future iconic issues.
