Hand Painted Fish Market

Here's a hand painted Fish Market I've been working on for awhile! I used Maya, Zbrush, PS, and UE4. Hope you like it!

Oh you saw it there, that's awesome! The lighting was a lot of work, glad you like it.

The only thing that bothers me abit is the amount of brown in the scene, other then that you nailed it!

I agree. I was attempting to be a little more neutral with my colors for this project, but I may have just been a bit too liberal with the brown.

Love this environment, awesome style you have going on here! I especially like the 3rd shot with the freezer light. Whats your workflow for the texturing?

Gannon

Really dig the style, who was your main source of inspiration?

For this scene I used photoshop and Kyle Websters brush pack, with a few select items getting roughness maps.

My wife has been drawing a comic that takes place in the Tsukiji Fish market in tokyo for 6 years now. It's called Sakana!

So I wanted to do something for her! I used some of the aspects of her work, and took a lot of texture inspiration from TF2 and combined the two.

Awesome work Gannon I like the style and your ability to make everything feel soft and sculpted!

I like the colors and style, though I would refine it with more and harder details.

Man the lighting is beautiful and has a ton of character! I particularly like the wooden flooring planks.

I love this piece! I really want to try something in this style. I am definitely gonna us this as reference.

Very soft and pleasing to look at and the amount of brown looks fine to me, it contrasts well with the focal points you have.

SpaceSteggy

Haha, this is awesome. There is a lot of brown as pointed out but my eye keeps bouncing around the scene from the blue of the fish to the blue in the signs and coolers. I think if you had more colors in it, that would get disrupted in my opinion. Really inspiring! Keep it up!

Man this looks really cool! Loving it!

Looking sweet! Love the atmosphere and the lighting (which I suppose do go hand in hand). The fish bothers me for some reason though. I think it might be the flat color it has going on. I think it might work better with some slight color variation, especially on the inside of the mouth and around the gills.

Nice GFORGANNON!  I love this style and the overall look.  My minor feedback would be focusing where those spotlights are coming in.  It's ideal to have a spotlight over the fish like you have, but there's another one highlighting a pot and another highlighting some cups.

Gets a little distracting for the eye.  Maybe tone those down a bit so the fish (focal point) is the main focus.

Love it though!

@gforgannon this is looking great. Love it! I think you should add a little bit of contrast in the browns to help differentiate between materials a bit more. @Megacorpse made a good point about it in the "[Hand Painted] Mini Library environment" thread.

I also think you should replace the fish's eyeballs with black crosses and have a tongue sticking out of it's mouth (like it's been knocked out with an oversized mallet) to add a bit of comedic value to the scene! Just a suggestion

Love those cardboard boxes!
Great stylization. 

gforgannon

@griffiti Funny enough I actually did have "X" eyes at first, but it didn't really match with the rest of the piece.

@Spoon Those were my favorite part to make! I'm glad you like them as well.
