Knight Owl

My last project I made at Gnomon. I decided to do a piece based off of the childrens book, Knight Owl by Christopher Denise, so I could try and replicate in 3d that story telling and whimsical feel that childrens books have.

The Beginning

Concept

By Christopher Denise

This concept comes from Christoper Denise's childrens book, Knight Owl. I chose this illustration to recreate into 3D because I like that watercolor style and I also wanted to make something with a storybook feeling.

Characters and Props

The Owl

For the Owl I sculpted him in zbrush and then I rigged and posed him in maya. I then used Yeti to groom him. I also used cards from some of the yeti guides to make the feathers. It was a challenge for me to get the hair and shape of the owl right and it took me a few trys.
