This original creature was created in roughly 5 weeks in Jared Krichevsky's creature sculpting class. Part of a larger scene (WIP), I imagined an alien elder being captured and enslaved by ruthless human colonizers.
In terms of lighting and rendering, I was heavily influenced by the drama of renaissance and baroque era art, especially religious depictions of martyrdom and burden.
This granny was sculpted in Zbrush (+Marvelous), textured in Mari and Substance Painter, and rendered in Vray.
This is my first attempt at a creature, and I definitely pushed my organic sculpting skills through this project. I chose to go with an older subject to emphasize a sense of pride and dignity in the storytelling.
