Milk Raid!


I started this image quite a few months ago. I got it to a point where it was almost finished, but wasn't happy with the mood and lighting. I left for it for a while and had a re-think. Coming back with fresh eyes allowed me to see where it wasn't working and alter it. I'm not 100% happy with it, but it almost never got finished so I'm glad to get something done.

The picture shows supernatural undead doughnuts (the donutters) raiding the Monkey Mart milk chiller. Our hero (on the pedestal) is distraught as his adoptive mother is been dragged away by rat-riding donutters.

I've also added a few images showing the progression from sketch book drawing through to final piece. After lighting and texture passes were added I finished the image with reflections, highlights, atmospherics, optical effects and grading.
