Satyress.

Satyress is a project inspired by the artwork of Victor Quaresma with the same title. This project has been through so many iterations through my time in Gnomon School of Visual Effects. She was a piece I used to learn many techniques - from realistic skin texturing in Mari to rigging a film character. Ultimately it branched into a somewhat different creature heavily inspired the original concept.

My biggest technical challenge was replicating the appearance of bioluminescence using a mixture of vray shaders and nuke compositing. A huge thanks to my mentors/professors Tran Ma, Miguel Ortega, Kevin Hudson, and Yinglei Yang for helping me throughout this project.
