One of the projects done for Demo Reel class at Gnomon taught by Miguel Ortega. HDRI from hdrihaven. Huge thanks as always to Tran Ma for mentoring me through this entire project and always having a solution for every problem I run into. Although the groom for the hyenas didn’t come out great, I was only able to get it to this point in the time I had thanks to Tran. As with all my demo reel projects, Miguel’s weekly feedback and suggestions helped me push this piece much further than I’d originally planned. And of course, thanks to Xiaoyu Huang for letting me use his amazing concept.

Wow, this is really good. I’d say the course was money well spent.

Powerful image @davidkw96, especially the boy’s face expression and skin details. Your render does justice to the overall piece, well done!

amazing @davidkw96 
it reminds me a documentary I have seen recently in a village of Ethiopia where the butchers feed the hyena with the rest of meat. So the village is invaded by a pack of 20/50 hyena and no one fear
