"Feel that strain in your neck? That weird discomfort settling in below your eyes? They'll never fade away. Whether I leave you here like this, on the verge of normalcy, or make you the size of a forgettable speck of dust, there's one invariable fact - I simply cannot grow you back. You'll spend the rest of your life looking up to people. Everyone's your better now, loser..."

The classic trap of the technical test that transforms into a full piece. Like many lately, I've been watching a lot of Arcane and swooning over its artistic direction. Of course, it was bound to influence my work one way or another. While I cannot rival with a professional 3D studio pushing the limits of technical artistry, I'm pretty happy with the result.

This piece forced me to try so many new things I normally wouldn't attempt. From playing with spotlights in Daz to testing new techniques during the post-processing phase. I think the final result fits with Sasha's style pretty well.

And if not for how technically intense this piece is, I hope you at least enjoy the frightening POV it offers - the loss of a few centimeters, leaving you at the crossroad between normalcy and insignificance.
