This is one of the pieces from my show reel, it’s based on a concept by Jeff Simpson that I found online and really liked so thought I would have a go at recreating it in Zbrush and Maya. I’m pretty happy with the final result and learnt loads along the way :)

Started a Zbrush central thread too, which can be found here

I got to go to the Harry Potter Studio Tour this weekend, some really inspirational stuff there. The way they had lit everything was superb and I managed to get some amazing photographs there. My favorite part was seeing all the models of the creatures and how they had made them. Really got me wanting to go home and Zbrush some quick concepts of creatures and made me realise how important lighting is. I need to make sure the colours of our film this year and the lighting set ups help compliment the mood of the film.
