Story:
During post war time on Earth weird creatures appeared from deep underground.

They could summon spirits of lore and logic, helping friends or damaging foes. Sopromat is one of their champions, the one with largest book in the tribe.

Created for Renderosity Holidays Around The World Contest.
Original title was "Why Santa isn't big on innovation" but it was changed.
The image was created during winter break. Simple materials and lighting were used on purpose. I tried to direct viewer's eye around the picture using bright big spots of color.

Autodesk 3D Studio Max 9 was used for base modeling and Skymatter Mudbox for details. Posed using Character Studio and rendered using Mental Ray - sky/sun system.]]> Fri, 02 Feb 2007 02:56:43 +0000 http://jokermax.cgsociety.org/gallery/474687
