Description

A dolphin swims through a forest of underwater rocks covered in red and yellow sea anemones. Seeing you, he offers a smile.

One of my rare aquatic artworks, I rather like the way this scene turned out. This is my first image to feature a dolphin, one of the most well known of aquatic mammals.


About how I create my artwork:

Rather than traditional forms of art such as painting or photography, I use a computer to create my images. It's called 3D Rendering and works like so: I make a scene by sculpting and arranging digital models in a virtual 3D space. After stipulating lighting and atmospheric effects, I have the computer create a simulated environment from which I take a virtual snap shot of the scene. Then, using image editing software and something more akin to traditional painting techniques (via a Wacom tablet), I go over the work adjusting colors, adding brushwork, painting in details, etc. to produce the final image. Software I use includes: Sculptris, ZBrush, Blender3d, Vue, Daz Studio, and GIMP.

Thanks for looking!
