Tribute to Jake Sully (Avatar)

"While I was on a bed in the military hospital, with a nice hole shot through the centre of my life, I began to dream of flying. I was free. But sooner or later.... you have to wake up."

This project was born out of a desire to seriously challenge myself not only with 3D modelling but also with 2D, and in this case, with the elaboration and creation of an extremely complex scene (both because of the quantity of light points, and colour effects, lights and shadows which are extremely different from each other in terms of position, direction and intensity, and because of the large number of elements which intersect, communicate and dialogue with each other).

it all started with the statue of Jake Sully (the protagonist of "Avatar") that I keep in my window, one day I was looking at it and suddenly I thought: "if I put some textures on it, it would look like a real statue", and it all started from there.

it was an extremely long and complex project to conceive and realise, I failed and modified elements, lights, details, colours etc. many times to reach the final result that you can see. Moreover, I personally took every single photograph used to take the necessary elements and to create the textures of rocks and moss, trying to foresee, while I was taking them, what I would need to reproduce as faithfully as possible the environment of Pandora, the planet on which the events of the film "Avatar" take place.

This project is now available on NFT Showroom. This project was very tiring but particularly satisfying to carry out. I hope you can appreciate it.
