Did the lighting and bit of the texturing,rendered in Maya software and some edit in Photoshop.Made this on Sunday,took almost a day,good fun.Hopefully my lighting should improve,not a bad start(hahaha......).

The Fall

Inspired by a great photograph by the very talented Marcus J Ranum, the main intention was to study cloth and try to sculpt cloth, Burne Hogarth - Dynamic Wrinkles And Drapery , an amazing book for studying cloth,sculpting cloth is real fun.Made this one in the month of February.

This one was a quick doodle i did at work,the base mesh was made in maya and zbrush for sculpting and texturing,rendered in zbrush as well,photoshop for comp.Made this in the month of July last year and it took around 2h:30 mins

This one was also fetured in the AUGUST - SEPTEMBER 2008 issue of CG ARENA magazine.

But the biggest thing is that this particular artwork has also been selected under the 3d protraits rendered in EXPOSE 7 magazine by Ballistic publication to be out in the month of JUNE this year.Its an absolute honor to be among these amazing artists,best thing ever.
