SWAMP CREATURE

The assignment was to design and model a humanoid sea creature with a swamp/sewer base and an extreme lightsource.

So I started looking up some references on sea creatures and some ideas for the base.

I just started sketching some ideas I had and asked for some feedback on what other people thought the best designs were.

I landed on the idea of an angler fish/catfish hybrid on a swamp tree with glowing mushrooms.

I started by blocking out the main shapes and slowly started adding more details and started working on the base.

After i was done modelling the original design i decided to add a weapon and some more details.

And finally I began texturing in Substance Painter 3D. I added the extreme lightsources and some textures.

and i finally rendered the images below in zbrush.
