Riddick - Rule the Dark

ZBrush Artworks
#1

Hi guys!

I just entered the “Riddick - Rule the Dark” competition on DeviantArt. This competition has been a crazy one!

I had a little less than two weeks. I started off wanting to do a strong, action scene and had made at least 7-8 previous 3D scenes, characters and compositions. All of which I developed, none of which I liked…

I decided to go for this composition, which is different from a lot of the action-oriented entries I’ve seen. I guess I wanted to show that Riddick really isn’t too bothered by any of these strange creatures…seeing as he Rules the Dark. :stuck_out_tongue:

Here’s the main render:

Here a re a few WIP images (I’ll upload more soon!):

Everything was modeled in Zbrush, endered in 3ds MAX using Mental Ray, and comped in After Effects.

Here’s an alternate version of the main render that I made to look more like concept art/a painted piece.

I really loved working on this project! :slight_smile:

Thanks very much! Yes, start to finish was less than two weeks. Everything you see was created from scratch (it had to be for the contest).

In terms of workflow, I had a few overall compositions in mind. I thumbnailed each of them out before I started working on Riddick’s mesh. After some development of the character’s basemesh, I posed him to match the thumbnails and I picked the one that I felt worked best.

After sticking with one of the poses and compositions, I set up a scene fairly quickly in 3ds MAX (with a camera and some basic lighting). That way I had a pretty solid idea of what the final output would be like. From thereon out it was just finishing up and detailing all of the assets needed for the scene.

I think the hardest part of the whole project (other than the tight deadline) was settling for an initial composition that I really liked :slight_smile:
