Commission #98 - Blurry Thunderstorm sex with Kelly

Makin' it rain!

For the droplets of rain streaming down the windowpane, I just used an intricate raindrop shader I found online. I tried to toon-shade it at first, but eventually realized that the realistic shading looked fine.

The rain droplets that are falling all around nearby are just a geometry node setup from a tutorial I found elsewhere. Aside from focus blur, which I rarely use, I also turned on motion blur, which I never use. I think it improved the look of the raindrops a lot, and combines nicely with the window raindrops.

I mentioned lightning flashes for this option in the poll, and when I went to re-read that I thought, "why the hell did I say that." There's no way to loop lightning flashes on a loop this short and have it look any good. I could MAYBE do some sort of separate animation layered on top that's just flashes of brightness that plays on a longer and more erratic loop, but I don't think...that'd be worth the effort, as cool as it would be. I can't reuse this animation anywhere, this is purely going to spruce up that one thunderstorm scene a little bit (and that's awesome, but that's it lol).

Enjoy ~💕🎵
