"Caution, Wet Floor" - Mission to Minerva Challenge #KB3Dchallenge

For this piece that I made for the Minerva challenge I wanted to create a comedic, yet simultaneously horrific image using visual tropes from a range of films such as "Aliens", "Star-ship troopers" and others of that kind. I pushed myself to try new things such as using a dutch angle to give my image an uneasy and unsettling feeling. Rather than portray a successful space colony, I was more inspired by the idea of showing the beginning of things going terribly wrong as one of the (possibly) many experiments cuts itself free from its confinement. Whilst the colonists struggle to get the situation under control. I started of creating a set of basic environments and cameras to try and figure out a nice angle and framing. After finding the one I thought worked best for the idea I had in mind. I began lighting the scene while also figuring out what the creature was going to look like. Upon modeling the creature in Zbrush and adding color to it, In Photoshop, I merged my render of the unreal lit scene with my Zbrush sculpt render. Finalizing the image in Photoshop by painting over and doing several correction passes.
