OCTOPUS

Hello guys !

Here's another Lighting / Shading project done during my spare time just for funsies ! The model was really inspiring and a delight to work with ! I got my main inspiration from Nicolas Winding Refn movie "Only God Forgives". I'm really digging the vibrant Purple / Hot Pink / Orange palette. (See references below)

I created a small room with neons around the character and aligned the corner in order to create a natural line of sight. I've also added a subtle Depth of Field in the background in order to further detach the character from it. Hope you guys like it !

Cheers !

Kudos to the great Chris Brejon for the wonderful articles he created on Lighting / Cinematography / Composition / PBR workflow etc !

I used the room corner and neon to create line of sight with a subtle DOF in the background to increase the octopus visibilty.
