Having recently listened to an audio book of Jule Verne’s “Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Seas” I wanted to recreate a moody underwater scene inspired by it. I went with the chapter “The Devilfish”, in which the Nautilus (Captain Nemo’s submarine) encounters a swarm (flock, herd?) of kraken, that soon after attack the ship.
I tried to stick to the book’s description of the Nautilus, so no fancy Disney-esk ornaments, but instead a non-nonsense design, much as the Captain’s personality: Cigar shaped cylinder with tapered ends of 70 m length and 8 m width; a deck some 80 cm over the water line; a pilothouse in the front and a lantern illuminating the surrounding sea aft.
Presenting the “Behind the Scenes” article for this incredible artwork!
Feel free to explore the article written by the artist himself. It takes you through the detailed process of creating the artwork and offers valuable insights into environment designing in Blender.
