HerraPuputti´s statue

[HerraPuputti]

Hello. this is the first time I post my work to the forum.

I work as a photographer for a university´s newspaper, but I sometimes do some illustrations too.

Here I used Zbrush to design a fantasy statue for the university´s campus area.

The consept for the statue was Lenin, stalin eating traditional finnish black sausage while riding a horse.
In front is a finnish war hero and president called Mannerheim who is riding the horse.

The idea is based on a fictional novel where Lenin and Stalin are eating black sausages and decide that any country that has so tasty food deserves it´s independence. The story has more to it, but I won´t bore you with details

The work is meant to be a joke. There is no way there will ever be such a statue.

I fist figured the material for the statue would be stone. but for the final illustration where I attached it in to the campus I decided to use lightcap and more reflective material so it would blend with enviroment better.

I also wanted to try fibermesh so I added "real" hair in the statue even if it´s not that realistic.
I used only Zbrush and Photoshop for everything.

I also made some turntable animation. You can check it out here:

I decited to add some old works.

The first one was a newspaper illustration for a story about hypermedia project.
It was my first finnished illustration with Zbrush back in 2010.
In one quete a scientist told we could have computer in our coffee mugs.
(It was only a example) Some I decited to make illustration of a alien from the future with a
coffee mug as his head. (It was my first sculpt, give me a break about the anatomy!)

The scientist didn´t like the illustration, imagine that! Luckily I was only a intern at the time
so it didn´t matter that much.

The second illustration was a cover for the newspaper. The story was about how the old warm poetic
acrhitecture struggles with the new cold and hard arhitecture.
(you can also see it as a birth of the new from the old) The splited statue head is finnish architect Alvar Aalto

The third was a illustration for a small medicine news. Where was commented that the university can´t teach and evaluate
the doctors at the same time. (or something like that. I can´t really remember. It was a little bit complicated)

cheers, I hope somebody likes something about these!

Here I integrated some photographs with Zbrush renders. these were illustrations for a newspaper

first one was a story about how energy companies use green advertising to boost their image.
Barrels are zbrush, fauna and spills are photographs.


the second one was a illustration about how finnish political parties all have almost identical agenda. (They are all the same grey mass).
machines are zbrush. smoke and papers are photographs.

this one was about how image is important to politicians.
mouth and euro signs are zbrush. suit is a photograph.

In this story a professor talked about politics and icehockey.
the cap is a photograph, rest is zbrush.

This was story how a finnish slotmachine company called Ray has a monopoly.
Big euro coins are photographs rest is zbrush.


...and more to come!
