Happy New Year to everybody! And to celebrate the New Year I have finally returned to my roots and the thing that I enjoy doing most on Hive which is this contest! This weeks entry is the mysterious Dr. Blight.
This is my first attempt at making Dr. Blight, I used this image for a reference, and tried to follow it as closely as I could.
This year I have decided to change my approach when doing Splinterlands characters. Now I make a 3D model from the image and work on it inside of my 3d model program. I use Poser13 for all of my 3d work. But I immediately noticed that working this way can yield some unfavorable results, I really didn't like the face so I had to make some changes.
Luckily I had a old Steampunk mask in my Poser13 library, to use to cover up some of that face.
I wanted to make an animation so I added some flames to his lantern to livin things up a bit.
I still thought that the image needed a bit more pop, so I added some smoke and fog into the mix, the smoke and fog also added some mystery to the scene and made the good doctor seem more mysterious. I was debating on weather or not I should make the background black or grey, but I made it grey, because that just seemed like the blight thing to do lol
