Week 5 (Démie)

Ok, I wasn't enchanted to work further in this room. I struggled so much with the textures already and I had to do it all over again. I was in total "bleh!" (a special thanks to the ones who give me good comments on it, it help me go through it) ;o)

Since the assignment was to "give life" to the room, the thought of recycling a griffin sketch into this room saved the day (well, the 3 days I worked on this) :P ;o)

So here it is. Let's start with my references, for the griffin + the nest

My image:
(I hope my textures are better integrated, though they remain what I'm less satisfied about this project). I made a subtil effect of blurring the background as it go deeper, but also the foreground too, like it would with a camera, with a certain depth of field set up. I'm always happy to have constructive critiques :)

I made a close up to the griffin and nest, cuz I'm wish to have comments on light & shadow. I had to improvised light & shadows, as they were not the same at all in my references, so I have doubts here and there... Also, I'm not sure if the integration of the room and the creature matches well (mostly the paws, the hey, the bricks and the shadow underneath the griffin...)
