The final composition of this project, a riff on old timey postcards and a strange advertisement for the state I grew up in!
Concept sketches, four different options which will be turned into speed sculpts.
The various speed sculpt busts taken into photoshop and manipulated to give an even wider range of proportion, feature and fur options.
The bust prior to the addition of horns and color.
The polypainted model rendered in ZBrush, this is the base for the Photoshop work done to create the final composition postcard.
The Skunk Ape, also known as the Swamp Ape, Stink Ape, Florida Bigfoot, Myakka Ape, and the Myakka Skunk Ape, is a hominid cryptid said to inhabit Florida, as well as North Carolina and Arkansas, although reports from Florida are more common. It is named for its appearance and for the unpleasant odor that is said to accompany it. According to the United States National Park Service, the Skunk Ape does not exist. Reports of the Skunk Ape were particularly common in the 1960s and 1970s. In the fall of 1974, numerous sightings were reported in suburban neighborhoods of Dade County, Florida, of a large, foul-smelling, hairy, ape-like creature, which ran upright on two legs.
