This is another work in the Embryo series.

I approach 3D in a very random way. Compositions and ideas formulate as I work in the medium. I usually experiement and finish in Photoshop

I started by manipulating a figure and skeleton in Poser and exported it to Cinema 4D. I simplified the mesh and adjusted the composition of the bones and flesh. I painted the figures in BodyPaint and exported to modo using FBX format.

In modo, I modeled the tubes and added more variation to the shaders using transparency and absorbtion distance. I rendered this at 20" @300dpi.

In Photoshop, I painted a flaky skin texture through a mask of one of my texture photos. I did this because particle effects were not subtle enough for this piece. Using color correction and adjustment layers, I emphasize areas of the figure to balance out the compositon.

I have a editorial illustration background, so I try to tell some type of story in each piece.
