View Full Version : DeadInTheAttic - Gates of Hell - Charybdis

Hi!

During the Avatar contest I became a member herein. And for Dominance War IV is over for now, I think, I should look for other interesting tasks.
Matte painting is something, which I want to improve much more.
I like Photoshop and drawing, hope you'd like my final result.

The idea:
As a gate of hell I thought about Charybdis. A mouth within the ocean. For someone the end of the world, the gate to Poseidon's realm or even to Hades.

Attached the first step, collection of references and making a photomontage to work with.
Everything will be photoshopped at the end. And I will add some Poseidon columns and - of course - the organic part of Charybdis, tentacles or something like that.

The colour tune is meant to be somehow like the colour of old illustrations in mythologie, brown-grey-black ... a bit flithy lookin'.

WiP 2. Every day a bit more.
Added the Poseidon columns today (colourtuning at the end, not at this point ;).

To show every single step ... here the components.
Now it comes to Photoshopping extreme.
Chains and columns are made in in ZBrush (though it often crashes, I recommend it for certain elements).

The waves will become smaller (making the gap looking bigger), everything will fit together at the end, more dynamics by splashes and blur and a nice colourtune of the beast itself, something magical/mysterious (perhaps greenish glowing ... we'll see ... :D ).

cool, if you replace the sea with a proper one - texture wise, and paint over the 3d geometry plus add a nice dramatic atmosphere, it will be great...

Actually not finished yet, the details aren't well painted and to blurish.
Though other timings are pressing, still I want to show the result up to now.
