"Rediscovery" is the first in a series of vignettes of a sculpture I painted using Tiltbrush. It's an overview of the whole scene and hints at its mystery.

The process of sculpting this was random at first and I found that a story was formed as I built it up with each stroke. I took a photogrammetry scan of myself, imported the unshaded OBJ into Tilbrush, lit it in pink and green and just started building around it randomly. I added these rocks that made bright orange bubbles because it looked cool then echoed that bubbling for the background/setting. I populated it with seaweed-like plants and then some murmuring pink fish because why not. I made the murmuring fish dance around one of the bubbling rocks that was sheltered by my scan. A pink sub descends to investigate and it's inquisitive light reveals some strange orange script, what could it all mean?

I like to think the folk in the sub are an evolved version of the pink fish, stumbling upon the source of their evolution.
