Dumpling Squid

Hi guys, this is my first art post here. I was looking on the net and saw a dumpling squid and decided to make one for myself.I used Zbrush for refining the squid shape, and painting a diplacement map, and modelling the rocks and stuff in the background. I also used it to hand paint every texture in this picture. Rendered in XSI.
Hope you guys dig it! :wink:

phonicsmonkey,

I really like the little guy:+1: He looks very real, and kinda’ cute for a squid.
A beautiful image alltogether.
Well done and worth the effort. I’m giving it 5 stars.

Hey Mr. Monster, thanks for the kind words - i’m glad you enjoyed it. Thanks you especially for the 5 stars, it’s very encouraging :wink:

Thought people may be interested in a wireframe also.

This is a pretty cool looking scene! You’re depth of field is hurting it actually, as it is too blurry. Wonderful colouring on the little fella. :wink:

Terrific scene. However, I also agee with Jason Belec on the Depth of Filed thing. Other than that it’s cool :slight_smile:

This is good work. Very convincing textures on the little fella.

Thanks guys. I put such heavy depth of field on it to make it seem like he was small, he was looking a lot bigger than he was supposed to be with less of the effect. Maybe i’ll make another version with less dof to see what everyone thinks. 'Til then :wink:
