  • Final paint over

    After posing and rendering out some images of my creature in Zbrush I moved on to the paint over.

    Here I used my digital painting and photo bashing experience to add extra detail to my creature. At this step I could really flesh out how I envisioned the look of my creature to be – adding details to its scars, rusting to the equipment, etc.

    These images are my final outcome, I believe I was able to achieve a good standard for a piece of 2D concept art assisted using 3D tools.

  • Colouring and Texturing

    Now that I have a complete model I added materials and colour to it. For my leech model, before placing copies of it on my creature I coloured it – this was so I wouldn’t have to paint over each duplicate of it which would be placed on my model.

    After colouring everything I built up layers of tweaked leech models over my creature to fulfill my original concept.
