In 1977, when I was 12 years old and I was in the 7th grade, in the Drawing classes we were learning about colours. After the theoretical lesson, the teacher told us to make a drawing with lots of colors. All my colleagues were making flowers and houses and similar stuff. I thought about doing a rainbow but I also wanted something different. So, I thought about making a rainbow from an original perspective: as it would be seen if the viewer would be under it. I knew it was physically impossible, due to the way a rainbow is formed. But that didn't stop me and I did it. It was similar to this image. I heard the teacher commenting the work of my colleagues, with praises or suggestions for improvement. When he got to my desk, all he said was "Hm" and turned his back. That was it, my first feedback to an original work. Not even a "hmmmmm...". Not a word, except for "hm". Well, in my 12 year old mind a quick link was established between originality and lack of interest and, therefore, failure. I continued making drawings but for 10 years I didn't create anything original. Now, 30 years have passed since that episode and so I thought about paying a special tribute to that teacher by making a digital version of my painting at the time... Tech stuff: This is a direct render, no postwork, except for frame. I had several possibilities to make the rainbow. In the end, I decided to model it in Zbrush. It's a simple plane bent in a U shape. I made the texture map in Photoshop, by simply using the gradient tool with a color spectrum, with increasing transparency at the ends and a gaussian blur applied. I made the layer 75% transparent, exported it as PNG and in Vue I used the color and alpha information. Then I added some spectral clouds and some Linda Daireaux grass, and that was it. The camera is on the ground, looking up, of course. Thanks for watching!
