Title: ANABERRY
Name: Scott Phillips
Country: Canada
Software: Maya, mental ray, Photoshop, ZBrush
Modeled in Maya 8, Sculpted in Zbrush 3, Textured using polypainting in Zbrush 3 and Photoshop and Mental Ray for rendering.
This character is very important to me ive put weeks of hard work into this because I went to the BCIT school over a year ago hoping my demo reel would get me into the video game industry here in Vancouver but to this day Iam still unsuccessful in landing a career. Ive spent countless nights stressed to the eyeballs trying to see what im doing wrong and this model is pretty much a way of me to redeem myself and show how my talent has improved....my past work is probably not that impressive but im here displaying this model proving im not giving up and that ill do this for decades and keep improving and adapting until i can get the job i have so constantly been dreaming of.
About the character:
Anaberry is a creature that likes to hide in dark wet industrial ruins, it is completely blind but can feel and sense things near by very accurately. Anaberry tends to get nervous whenever something approaches or stumbles in its path because it rarely interacts with other people, but when it does it acts like a wild animal thats cornered and tends to be the most vicious when it feels surrounded or in danger. I created this design from scratch and spent plenty of sketches deciding the final concept, alot of inspiration came from Silent Hill designs.
I picked the name Anaberry because its such a kind soft sounding name for such a deeply disturbed and creepy creature, it may have once been human but whatever human elements or behavior it had is now long gone and all that remains is a tormentedly disturbed creature.
Please let me know what you guys think I've worked very very hard on this character and if theres anything that any of you think needs improving i want to hear it.
Cheers.
