In the process of trying to come up with ideas for an original creature design, I sat down and started thinking and sketching concepts. It always creeped me out seeing pictures of certain foetuses, both human and animal, so I came up with the concept of a foetus of some strange monster-creature. In this workshop, I’ll explain how I created this image from concept to preparation to execution; starting modelling in XSI (but you can use any 3D app) re-sculpting in ZBrush, texturing in Photoshop and ZBrush, re-touching textures in Photoshop, rendering, and composing the final image in Photoshop, to bring the creature Feto terrifyingly to life.
