Zbrush Lion/Deer Hybrid Render - "The Burden of Knowing"
vertex
One day long ago, God looked upon His creations. With distaste, He noticed the lion’s fire and the deer’s fragility. How could he make them understand one another’s plight? In an act neither blessing nor curse, He decided to fuse them into one. Thus, the two exist destined to either love or destroy the other.
What does it mean to feel both aggression and meekness? Power and fear? Which side dominates within humanity and within yourself? Can the two coexist in harmony, teaching the other, or does one destroy the other, as a predator to prey? With this project, I explore the relationship of a hybridized, sentient creature-- one that exists in a permanently dissonant state. What does it take to coexist, and what is the cost?
I yearn to understand humans and the wars that rage within us all, the wars that allow us to quietly consume ourselves.

A piece I sculpted for my senior visual seminar. Inspired by biblical allegory, nature, and the wars that rage within our very souls. Created in Zbrush, rendered in Arnold, compiled in Premiere.

This is what the art is suppose to be , to challenge the status quote , to satire and exaggerate reality and to show as how to create a better world right
... and what if they can live together ? - idea for a second sculpture ,
live make mistakes and hopefully learn from your mistakes
I dunno what kind of feedback you're looking for but it seems too dimly lit for me, kinda hard to see and it keeps me from wanting to look at it for long. will you also be texturing it? I don't think the highly reflective material is ideal...
great job and very interesting piece and concept!
Will you take it further?
