Work for a personal project on a matte painting (my very first one) with 3d, 2d and photo elements.
The theme is influenced by King Kong's Skull Island and the composition depicts an abandoned sacrifice temple in the middle of an island jungle.
Base models done in XSI, some rough sculpting in Mudbox and final detailing and passes rendering in ZBrush.
Later on, lots of tweaking and paint over of the rendered elements and the photo reference in Photoshop.
A couple of additional elements were done with Particle Illusion.
I hope you like it.

Hello all,
I finished the first part of my latest demo reel and I would like to share it with you.
It contains only work from personal projects of mine and not from my current fulltime job (which is mostly low poly modeling of archaeological sites), because this is the content I am mostly interested in after all
As soon as I complete the second set of models which is still in progress, I will be ready to start looking for a job, fulltime or freelancing..
Let me know what you think
Crits and comments are welcome..
