Most of the animation has been done using the new puppet tool inside after effect.

Shark Model

Here's the result of 2 days of hard work..
I added some detail inside zbrush, exported normal maps using zmapper and rendered using mental ray.
The teeth are done using a combination of transparency maps and bump maps.

Character Modeling Update

Here's an update for this model.

Character Modeling

I started modeling the creature that I have been sketching for the last month and a half. The modeling is taking less than I expected and it's looking really good, I managed to get the exact look that I was looking for in my drawings. The renders here are done using a simple lamber material and the new feature in Mental Ray: "Physical sun and sky". I applied a Catmull subdiv scheme to the model through the approximation editor so that it converts to subdi at rendertime and therefore renders smoother and faster.

Back at the MET

Here are a couple of painful drawings from life from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
I spent about ten minutes for the first one, and couple of hours of the other 3.
While I was working on the second one, I noticed that the lighting changed, the natural light got dimmer and the artificial lights got stronger, so it didn't turn out exactly how I wanted..
I'm also posting some more sketches of this character that I'm working on.
