"Relentless Movement" - (SJ21.8)
SculptJanuary is an annual online event that aims to encourage Blender users to sculpt more by providing them with 31 topics to complete during the month of January. It is organized by CG Boost.
There are no prizes involved, but it can make you a better sculptor.
In 2021 I had a lot of time available and I completed all 31 topics, although... not just in January... it was tough, I had to work a bit more in February until I finished everything.
"Relentless Movement" was the topic of SculptJanuary 2021 Day 8.
First I copied the dog from my sculpt from Day 7...
With editing and sculpting tools I changed his posture and emotion - from angry to fearful.
... and placed the dog in a rowboat which I roughly modeled...
I made the sea waves with the Ocean Modifier in Blender... and I made the water semi-transparent.
The boat was improved by sculpting the wood.
By sculpting the wet hair, the colors of the dog had shifted or partly disappeared...
for example, the teeth got the color of the inside of the mouth...
I selected the teeth in edit mode to recolor them...
... Much more natural this way :-)
I didn't care about the back side - mainly due to lack of time. Okay, it's ugly...but more than this was not necessary.
I told myself that I would finish this later. But I never did.
I repainted the boat...
I tested a different boat angle...and with a few animation keys I created motion blur.
Through trial and error I looked for the best composition...
The final result of Day 8.
