After working on a couple of environment shots, I decided to push towards working with character lighting. As I searched through Artstation, Pinterest, Behance and other sites I came across a fantastic concept artist, Mike Redman. His characters, lighting, and mood always tell a great story. https://www.artstation.com/redman I finally decided to choose his piece "Relaxing Morning Tea". From there I started modeling the environment and enlisted the help of the great L?o Rezende to build the old man character. https://www.artstation.com/leorezende Challenges - Develop strong character lighting and mood - Groom a characters hair for the first time using Xgen - Switch from Arnold to Redshift midway through the project - Create a Python module to switch from Arnold shaders and lights to Redshift instantly - Use a new Nuke workflow to help make comping more efficient
