Wa'aon. PaintOver.

Lighting, textures, composition and so on. PaintOver - it's nice and clever way planning after which you know exactly what way you do want to go. I did 6 variations but I'll show only these, other 4 - is epic fail )) I think... first one is going on finalizing texturing, grooming and rendering.

Work name - "Wa'aon"

Combine entities of human warrior and buffalo animal from amazing African continent. The project started about a month ago, main goal was to made everything within modo and to found some new approaches to my "mayan" past and present life. Project ended as usually with death of my RAM memory in ZB...  :))) I wanted to made some more detailes but... there is always hardware limits.

Additional character views:

Composition

Working on render composition. Already reworked head detailes and found closeUp shots more interesting.
So... time to move on grooming and lighting.

Light & muscles. Test

Try to find some workflow according to different render engines to minimize time for rendering stills...
