Two years ago we finished our animated short movie ‘Monju Hunters of S?fugan Island’.
The film is a co-production with my friend Karim Eich. We finished the project in fall 2016 after 1,5 years of hard work.
It’s my master thesis at Bauhaus University Weimar.
You can watch the movie now online on:

The ship is based on my early concept art but I changed the direction of the design during the long process.
If you are also interested in the design process of the ship or the other parts of this world, please take a look on my Artstation at:

The design is inspired by artists like Takayuki Takeya, Kow Yokoyama and Ian McQue.
All modelling was made with ZBrush. I’ve made the textures with Substance Painter and Photoshop.
The final movie was rendered in Blender Cycles.
The following images were rendered in Marmoset Toolbag 3
