I started this project a long long time ago and have worked on it on and off. Ihave no idea how long I ever actually spent on it but probably way too long. It’s always been my experimental piece so a lot of the stuff on here I hadn’t tried before at the time. It took me down some rabbit holes between not having a strong enough computer to complete the sculpt at one point, obsessing over color detail from all angles thinking about maybe a 3D print or animated poster which lead to wanting to attempt a real hair sim (which ended up being a deep deep rabbit hole, but I settled on a sculpt with a little paint over in the final image here). I decided I finally wanted to wrap up this project so I spent a week wrapping it up and putting together renders for this composite.
The models were started in Maya and finished in Zbrush. Textures were started in Photoshop and finished in Zbrush and Cinema 4D Body Paint and are all hand painted. Final renders we created in Maya Mental Ray and composites in Photoshop. The only minor airbrushing is applied to the hair and feathers, and a couple small composite mask bleeds around the rock.

This is my recent artwork, named "Cobolt FISHy".
Rendered with Cinema4D's R 9.5. Ambient Occusion and Sub Polygon Displacement (vertex maps) were used for it. Translucent Pro was used for faking the Sub Surface scattering Effect, because the C4D internal was too difficult for me to setup here. I hope you enjoy ...cheers,

Contented Ogre Editor's Pick
Zbrush character concept sculpt for an independent short. The sculpt was started from a sphere primitive in ZBrush. All form and color is created entirely in Z. Major forms created with the move tools then refined using the standard sculpting tools. Smaller details added with projection master. Rendered in Zbrush with SOK skin shader.

this image was created a looong time back, sometime around may 2004!! it was made for a collaborative challenge over at cgtalk named Evolution.
it was about having 1 designer and one 3d artist get together and create a finished 3d-model. the first price was to have it printed as a maquette at 3darttopart..... and we WON!!! yippaaaah!

this image is so old that I don't remember much about it..... but, I remember I modeled and rendered it in Lightwave and added some minor PP touchups in Photoshop.
I also remember that I used a free shader called TB_FakeSkin to get the soft look. it made these images render really really fast.. just a few seconds/frame here!
