Papageno The Bird Catcher

sRj- · 26-11-2009, 03:23 PM

"Papageno" from The Magic Flute by Mozart.
The man who catches the birds.

This is a 3D/2D illustration. I've been inspired by the old master painting and especialy Caravaggio. My main focus was the texture and the environment.
It took 1 month, with concept, and referencing. I've worked a lot between Maya and Zbrush, textured in Mudbox and pushing the illustration details in photoshop. I did the mattepaint and finalising in Photoshop.

and the different steps (3Dpass/occ/maya)

Very inspiring, I love it when people use the master painters as references.

You have been one of my favorite artists for a long time. Before, it was because of your vision. Now, your skill seems to have caught up, and this particular piece is just awesome. 5*s from me.

If I had to crit, it would be that he looks like Lady Gaga.

Man, You rock! Amazing work! I love the character pose, the environment , the composition. It's really inspiring. Congratulation!

I couldn't find a photo of her from the Jay Leno Show (at least not fast enough). But she's just sooooo fugly. Nasty.

My respects to you! Very inspiring and outstanding piece!

Maybe in the near future, could you show a break down of your scene? like what's 3d and what's 2d? At 1st i thoughtit was all 2d. Really love the entire final result.

About gaga...

she is not THAT fuggly....maybe that' y she wears the huge glasses..ive never really seen her face till now. Maybe thats y she wears the huge glasses.
