Hounds VS Hare

Hi guys!

I wanted create a scene showing passion, liveliness and aesthetic of a hunting scene…Sculpted in Zbrush, retopologized in 3DCoat, rendered in Vray.

In Egypt, the ancestors of modern greyhounds were used in hunting and kept as companions. Many Egyptians considered the birth of a such a hound second in importance only to the birth of a son. When the pet hound died, the entire family would go into mourning.
The Greeks probably bought some of these hounds from Egyptian merchants, some time before 1000 BC. The first breed of dog named in western literature was the ancestor of the greyhound. In The Odyssey, written by Homer in 800 BC, the hero Odysseus is away from home for 20 years fighting the Trojans and trying to get home against the opposition of the god Poseidon. When he finally returns home, he disguises himself. The only one to recognize him was his hound Argus, who is described in terms that marks him clearly as a sighthound.

Hope you like it :slight_smile:

Excellent work, I really like it.

Nice idea and sculpt. Made me think of snatch. Is this vray in maya ?

amazing sculpt. I’d argue that you’re lighting is hurting rather than helping show off the piece–any chance of tweaking it? It would be worth doing since your modeling and composition is so successful.

-m.
