What are some of the keys to becoming a talented artist? Apparently, they never stop learning and practicing regardless of whether they are full-time artists or "hobbyists."
How, then, can you qualify for this award? Please remember that this award is reserved for those that are on par with or that excel top notch works published by artists and studios. If such work does not appear during a given week, this award is not being given to anyone. Please submit your latest work to www.blenderartist.org or to the Member's Gallery of this site, or Contact Us to show where your work is available on the internet. It doesn't have to be a Blender render, internal or Cycles. Any other renderer is fine as long as Blender was used as a part of your workflow.
So, it is with great pleasure that www.BlenderNews.org introduces to you the winner of the Render of the Week Award for the week of May 25, 2015: Steffen Hess.

Artist's Comments
About Me:
My Name is Steffen Hess and I live in Germany. I'm 21 years old and currently studying Media Design. Apart from doing 3D stuff in my free time, I enjoy doing martial arts.
About "Lost Space Shuttle":
It all started with a pencil sharpener as a texturing exercise. It was fun so I modeled and textured some pencils and more and more stuff. Then I watched Interstellar in the cinema (which had some really inspiring visuals) and wanted to do some kind of space thing. This space shuttle toy is what came out. At the end the sharpener and all the other small stuff didn't make it in to the final Render because i chose to put the space shuttle outside in the grass.
