Description: Spawn is on of my favorite characters. A demoniac soul with some kind of “good” mission. I always wanted to do a Spawn and with this challange i had the opportunity and inspiration. i Tried to keep all of the Spawn’s features, but giving a bit of my interpretation too. I did a simple Zsphere basemesh to the body and all subtools are made in Max. Using the Zbrush Decimate, i put all in to Max and rendered with mental ray. Composed with Photoshop.
Thank you Todd to your inspiring work!

WIP THREAD : http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=208&t=932795

DESCRIPTION : The work is inspired by David Finch art work, made in zbrush for modeling & rendering, photoshop for image editing. I actually planning on creating several characters to get the art style better, but too bad I couldn’t spend enough time to get them all to the level I expected (other characters at attachment and available at my wip thread). Overall this is a fun competition and I might revisit and continue this work later.

cheers,

DESCRIPTION: [/b]uf! finished. =). I have the Alex Ross as a great source of inspiration, their work and style are fantastic, and I tried to pass some of it in 3D. The real intention was to do something stylized, with a paint shader, but unfortunately the weather was not too big to get a good result, so I decided to do something a little more realistic, but I intend to do something in the next 2d day only for hobby. =) It was a very good exprience new challenge and hope. =)
 The model was made in zbrush with 3ds max base mesh, the rendering was done in 3ds max with mental ray.
 Thx =)

[/b]DESCRIPTION: I’m a fan of tons of different comic artist styles but Sam Keith’s style just kinda jumped at me for this challenge. I remember first seeing it on “the Maxx” back in the day, then I read some of his stories and saw the work he did on Marvel Knights Hulk/Wolverine and lots of the other giants of comics. I wanted to try to imitate something out the box for this. I don’t really know how but I started watching some Gargoyle episodes around the start of this HMC and so the concept formed. Hope you like and great stuff from everyone as usual!
