The cursed pirate was a project that required a lot of back and forth in ideas and modeling. It started off with a doodle / Thumbnail sketch ( lots of em ) on paper to the final render in Maya. Sometimes I got lost in the look of the character but my friends and teachers were very helpful in giving me feedback, that really kept me focused and on track as to how the final look would be. A lot of time and effort was spent mainly in the idea and concept creation. The cursed Pirate is a part of a scene ( Death of a Spell ) where two characters are present but for the purpose of this “Making of”, I'll be focusing mainly on the Sea Creature.
