Steampunk Minotaur

rodimus25 — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 12:08:54 +0000

This was a piece i did for CG-Talk’s steam-punk challenge a year and abit ago, never got the chance to submit it to finals though. I’ve just entered it into Expose 9, so will see how things go. Did a revisit on this piece, wasn’t happy with the original pose of the hero, so changed it again. Added more detail to it, picking out areas of light and dark. Also added in more bounce light, and specular to the metal on the minotaur as well as the heroes armour. Quite happy with the result so far. Will try to update more regularly now, if time permits…
