Into the Unknown
Another personal piece I started back in 2018, when I was first hearing about the animation taking on the Redwall book series and Mouse Guard graphic novel series. I really liked both of those stories and I had to do a little personal work. Mice at an outpost watching as two intrepid explorers advance into the darkness.
I revisited the idea below but attempted to do as much as possible in Blender before going to photoshop. The particle systems in Blender were really helpful to get to speeding up the process and getting that busy feeling of a forest floor.
My first "final" attempt at this image. The depth of field adds that final touch.
Just about there, but there's soooo much ground detail.
Getting my lighting to look more like my initial sketch and bringing in any photo elements that I didn't want to model.
Just getting all the pieces together in Blender. Mice modeled and posed in Zbrush.
