[u]COMMENTS & DESCRIPTION[/u]
We were keen to recreate the very first battle of Porco & Curtiss. So we modeled the two planes and we set them in a diorama. The scene take place when porco's engine got a failure. So Curtiss takes advantage of Porco to shoot his plane.
Software: Maya, Zbrush, Mudbox, Photoshop, Nuke, AE

I used ZBrush, Maya and Photoshop.
I cannot really tell how much time I spent on it because never actually measured it, but study and planning took really long and revision to get the expression that I wanted took really long time.
COMMENTS & DESCRIPTION:
Hello,
Ghibli animations have been great inspiration for me! I love every one of their movies! It was really hard for me to pick which one I wanted to make for this challenge. I watched Arrietty a few years ago when it came out. I really loved the movie because of the feeling it set out. It was not really dynamic or action packed unlike some other animation films. But, it said or made me feel something. I wanted to depict that feeling in this character sculpt too. I wanted to study the personality and characteristics of Arrietty before I started to modeling. I did not want to focus on technical aspects of modeling, rather I wanted to focus on capturing the feeling and the moment of the movie that reached out to me. I do not like explaining what my intended feel or how you should feel looking at this piece because I worked on the piece to speak for itself. I hope it successfully transmitted some feelings to you. I still have a lot to learn, but gained so much by working on this project.
Thank you! I hope you enjoy!
Pil
And the big one…

Most of the modeling was done in 3DS MAX, I’ve used a bit of Zbrush for the rocks.
Final image was rendered in Vray.
Post process and grading in Photoshop.
Took me around 10 days for the whole modeling part, and 5 for the texturing process.
Was fun participating, and I hope joining in on future challenges, if I am not too busy working.
Cheers !
