The beast _ Innsmouth beast

Jordannj

Hello guys ! 
Here is my concept and first sculpt of my "Innsmouth beast".
Innsmouth is a village in lovercraft book and it's my  main reference for my beast.



 A old lightkeeper suffering from Innsmouth malediction , he became a humanoid fish and lose his mind. he trap lot of seaman with his light head and haunt the village all night.

I like it, cool monster design but doesn't really remind me of anything described in "The Shadow Over Innsmouth". Not very fishy. In fact I believe when it comes to things like hands and fingers they are described as being quite stumpy and underdeveloped, you've pretty much gone the total opposite direction here.

Jordannj

Thx Guy. I use juste some part of description from the book like reference. I take other reference like evil within design. But m'y beast it's just a new vision . I wish you will like
the final render ^^

Jordannj

new render with position and some objects

Jordannj

Orsony

Really creepy good job.

armians

this is quite a cool design. His hands and legs are so thin that I think You should look at some anorexia references, define the bone structure beneath that skin a lot more. It would look even creepier and real.

Jordannj

thx guys, exactly armians i use lot of anorexia references, for anatomy is really great. 

Jordannj

New "work in progress" with plateform idea and sculpt advanced.

unplug

very nice beast and pose. The contact between beat and pole is, at this stage, a bit off.

Tadow

sooooo creepy.  love it

smoitel

My god, this one is amazing x)

Jordannj

Hy ! new render, clean pose and more details 

doanier

Very nice dude !
But he's not exactly as in the lovecraft book....that i didnt read...

Jordannj

begin texture test and render test for platform

tushar

Very nice.

Intervain

love the overall idea.. .would be great to have more fish like features in the creature, since the Innsmouth guys were fishy some scales or gills or sth of the sort...

Jordannj

thx to comment, I think to add some scales in shoulder and the back, but not more. I  would like to keep the skin, and use textures to give fishy style
( shiny, wet ) .

Sandy

Great progress,keep it up.

Jordannj

hello ! new renders with texture (wip) .

Pixelgorilla

fantasymaster

i love this art style! are you basically finished, or are you planning on adding more?

Jordannj

thx , it's not finished I plan to add more objects and some fx (like fog maybe) and retake texture again,  I do that during the next week. but thx for your comments!

Jordannj

hy I published my last render, 
you find all rules of the contest full frame, beauty shot, wireframe and textures.

- Texture body/head/pedestral

fantasymaster

Contratulation! I like the dark atmosphere of the Szene. The Modell is also great, quite creepy.

Are you still doing some more tweaks, or do you calling it done? 

Jordannj

Thx for your follows and comments
For the contest it's done, but after time ( and with free time ^^) I would like to create composition with arnold renderer and rework textures like SSS for the beast skin, fog, light effect . 

lotet

love the atmosphere you got going there. I think the water looked better in the previous renders though ,also the harsh water edge is kinda bothering me, maybe you could fade it out a bit more? or maybe make some sort of proper edge for it?

Jordannj

thx Lotet, I would like give more water dynamic but I have already max tris on my pedestral so for water.
I tried to give more waves but no success, the topology deformation is so sad when I up vertex... 
I will look to retake that.

Jordannj

Hello all ! 
I retake my lighting and water normal, transparency and specular map. waves are more details yet 
the render is more like my previous renderer, the contrast is more strenght .

luxxo

One of my favourite concepts. I would add a volume light effect and a few moths (I don't know it it's possible in render engine that You're using though).

Jordannj

thx luxxo, I would like too but I think create a render with lot of effects later (with my free time ^^ )
