Spirit Of Winter

Digital Art - Digital 3d Rendering/cgi
Description
It's the middle of winter and you find yourself in a cold snowy forest. Dense fog obscures the trees and hides the trail. Suddenly a great beast, the Spirit of Winter, appears before you. He is a massive brown American buffalo that glares at you angrily gives a steamy snort. His stance is tense and he is ready to charge.
An image for what is turning out to be a rather harsh winter. Even here in the American South, we've had record cold. So I decided to give this season a sort of mascot. A huge angry bison that is mean and menacing.
About how I create my artwork:
Rather than traditional forms of art such as painting or photography, I use a computer to create my images. It's called 3D Rendering and works like so: I make a scene by sculpting and arranging digital models in a virtual 3D space. After stipulating lighting and atmospheric effects, I have the computer create a simulated environment from which I take a virtual snap shot of the scene. Then, using image editing software and something more akin to traditional painting techniques (via a Wacom tablet), I go over the work adjusting colors, adding brushwork, painting in details, etc. to produce the final image. Software I use includes: Sculptris, ZBrush, Blender3d, Vue, Daz Studio, and GIMP.
Thanks for looking!

I am sorry, but somehow this comment skipped the image when I was working on my iPad. It was meant for "Bears Around The Outhouse".

Humorous and scarry for the occupant. Love the rendering and light. You are a marvelous story teller and an artist.

Crikey Daniel, he has me in his sights. An amazing closeup render that looks so real. Superb effects that make him look as if he is coming straight out of my computer. L/F.

Good work David! 3D is difficult to get right. You've done an excellent job. I think the weight of this bison would not have him on top of the snow, but otherwise, most excellent!
