Jabberwocky

Jabberwocky was a game cinematic project we did as a pitch for a game.  I don't think this game was ever completed or released.  Honestly I'm not sure what happened with it - but I think our cinematic was great.  I really like the semi-cartoony style that we often do at Blur.  The cartoony proportions with detailed/realistic surfaces is in many ways the best of both worlds.

I created the Lightning Beast - he's a 50 foot tall purple gorilla type character.  The challenge was to have enough fine detail, since every shot of him is essentially a close up.  Halfway through modeling the client wanted to have ice and snow as his element.  I guess Ice Beast is a more apropriate name, but I'll always think of this character by his orginal name - Lightning Beast.

For my website, I've polished this character a bit.  He's now rendered in VRay with Ornatrix hair for the beard.

This character was originally modeled at Blur around summer 2008.  Poly modeling was done in 3ds max and it was originally rendered with Mental Ray.  Sculpting was done in ZBrush.
