Character - Whale

He was one of the most interesting characters I worked on, because I had to design his appearance both on the outside and inside.
The idea was to give the Whale a majestic feel. To make him terrifying, but at the same time beautiful and decorative. I decided on a cathedral-like structure inside and used Zbrush to sculpt a character, that would match that shape.
Whale’s form was simple, so I varied his texture a lot. I mixed photos of fabrics and embroidery with painting and bump mapping in maya.
