Here’s a fantasy fish.

Here is the ZTool.

I used the same process as Pixolators ‘Angle Fish’. I’m just a whole lot slower and clumsier than he is.

For the overall surface texture that is built into the model I adusted the focal shift of the brush, added some noise, and swirled around with the transform set to inflate.

That’ll add all sorts of interesting crevases.

The fish has the ‘metal 01’ material with some cavity shading.

Once I lost patience trying get the lighting right I baked the badground and fish on seperate layers and then used the highliter II brush for some minor touch up.

Plankton :wink:

The vector style background effect was generated by wrapping textures onto a sphere and applying it to the canvas layer in rgb mode.

boozy, that is simply an amazing work of art!..i’m just in love with that peice…if that was a poster, I’d definately buy it, no doubt in my mind.

Edit:…In fact, Is there anyway you can get that in a poster format for me, and send it to me or just something…I’m willing to pay, it’s just so great!!

#64

Dude! Boozy, I can recognized your work right away with the thumbnail. Always clean and dreamy. Nice work.

Rafael- you’re right. Gerald is a bit dark, but on my monitor he looks the part as a deep-sea creature. Maybe on your monitor he’s a bit too dark.

One for next time :wink:

Aga, great work…

it reminds me of the scorpion king (or whatever was his name) in “The Mummy returns”.
nice work on the claws :slight_smile: just some texturing and you’re done.

#71

Great stuff all! Challenge Thread is getting heavy…hehe
Gonna try something new this weekend.

Geoffrey Hancock - There isnt any texturing on the starfish. The look is generated by the cavity settings of its material(it is a best render effect).

#72

Love all the work so far by everyone! The cavity shading on the starfish does look great doesn’t it. Love the whales too, and the turtles, and boozys picture would make a great poster.

Hopefully I’ll have time to do something over the weekend…
