Blood & Ink - The Monster & The Owl

As part of my UTS Honours Project, I have started off with designing this character from a simple sketch to a complete 3D model where this character plays an important role in the animated short film 'Blood & Ink'. Through thorough research and a lot of visual sketches, we managed to find the perfect monster for this project where experimentation and thinking outside the box was vital in creating this character.

For the owl, we experimented a lot with this character where we tested X-Gen fur which didn’t work for us.
In the end we decided to Polygon sculpt the owl character where we wanted to make it look and feel that it belonged in the same world as Goya.
