Winning entry - Skater boar

Jader Souza

Winner

In this illustration I tried to give maximum importance to each detail, it is not because a part would appear small, maybe out of focus or would be left behind that I would give less value, so the end result is always better when you have this affection. I started with the ZBrush program to sculpt, then 3DS Max to organize UVs, I moved to Substance Painter for textures, I went back to 3ds Max for shaders and hair with the help of the Ornatrix plug, finally, rendering in Corona render and is course, a light tratament in Photoshop.

I love the overall idea and concept with “Skater Boar.” Amazing attention to detail. Sharpness and scale of textures and blemishes make it feel like fingerboard scale, which is really cool. Pose and expression are perfect. Also love the Wilt Chamberlain jersey! All of that made it my favorite piece. The story, idea, execution all come together. The real feel with comic style makes it, to me, a cinematic quality character artwork
