A highly explorative personal project in which I took one of my old digital illustrations and brought it to life. The tentacles were all painted by hand in Substance Painter to achieve a creepy life-like appearance while leaning on low roughness to generate the look as if they just emerged from the water. The tentacles along with the bearded fellow are all hand-rigged using subtle motion to create an ominous mood with a foreshadowing of future terror. Finally, an eerie soundtrack to drive it all home.
