This is my take on Sam Keith’s The Max. The Maxx is a very abstract character that changes form quite a bit from image to image, but this my culmination of the character existing in the Outback of Pangaea. I wanted this image to fall somewhere between surreal and realistic much like the character and comic do, so hopefully it achieves this.
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.

Track Day Editor's Pick
- Polygonal modeling was used to create character, texture created in Photoshop, mostly hand-painted. Character was rigged with bones and skinned so that it could be posed.
- Environment and motorcycles were built with same methods. Audience was built of low polygon geometry character planes, then I created a displacement map to create approximately character shaped bumps with heads, eyes, noses and bodies so that they would catch light nicely.
- Only DOF and color correction was applided in post process.50036 Views

a gift from Britain Editor's Pick
first i got a picture of the skyline of NYC with the two twin wtc towers.
The Picture was in Black and White. First i cleaned the Picture from Grain and replaced the WTC Towers to a plate of the sky. Then i gave the picture a new sky.....with a bit of shining sun.
Now i rendert the Parts of the cars and the Heli in four layers and two extra layers(illumination map).
I composed it and that is the result.
Happy rendering,

a new day in the lif Editor's Pick
The original canvas is 3600x2400 in 300 DPI. Hence the long overhead. Much of the detail work is lost in this scaled-down version. If you're interested, the full-size version is on my website.21518 Views
