This is a monster rising out of the swamp that it resides. It's made of moss, wood, mud and other natural materials. I wanted to create a piece that had really thick atmosphere and realistic materials. The image took about two to three months to complete in my free time and was mostly created using 3dsMax. Post was done in photoshop to add the DOF, particulate, and tighten up some of the slime. The was my first attempt at really breaking a scene apart into different renders and elements and it was a good learning experience. Critiques are welcome, I hope you enjoy!
