So here is my Entry:
“Face The Storm”
Open - Cycles
“No one had their hope’s up when I said I was going back, to face my father’s wrath.
I had no chances against him, not on his own palace above the clouds, the domain of the Perfect Storm.
Even the Gods that chose me had their doubts.
I don’t blame them.
I never thought I would survive either”
Ormuz Okobe, on Tales of Astaroth.
Marked as “open” since I used this asset:
Closeup, Thumbnail and general comments
another angle:
closeup/thumbnail:
I tried a lot of things on this project, and it came out mosty fine. Still not 100% happy with the volumetric fx, but if I kept tweaking I would never finish. if you are wondering how it was done, the clouds are just torus knots that I sculpted a little and deformed trough a displace modifier.
I also rigged (not very well) the main character using Rigify, and used a cutout for the villain.
