Attempting to fuse majority of the classics (Dr. Frankenstein’s monster, The Mummy, Dracula, the modern Vampire, and an epitome of the evil witch) in one character. It did prove to be very challenging, let alone the technical hurdles I had to overcome (and learn from) to conclude this piece.
Yeah that is some cool stuff there! I think ur dof is a bit too extreme though on the pic of the little ragdoll. Makes it look almost faked in Ps. Just my opinion.
Not true. Look into reverse macro. You too can have a focal point a hair widths wide. 11 bucks on ebay for the adapter. Just flip ur lens around and wala crazy macro. I have a lot of pics I have shot using this technique on my deviant page. Search for me there “BrentNewton” Just look through my crap until you see the really close up shit.
Nice work! Constructive criticism? hmm maybe was “creepier” to render the insect inside the nose instead of the one in open space or add some kind of sinister lighting from inside that head, but the mood would be totally different…You mentioned some technical hurdles, what where the biggest?
It mostly has something to do with scene optimization. One of which is learning how to keep the particle strands’ render steps not too high or Blender would have to crash due to memory overload.
