For the past week I've been working on sets and planning my first for-sale series. It is a ton of work and you do a lot of testing, idea work, thinking, and just trying a ton of stuff to make sure you have the look you want and the whole setup can be lit well and won't fight you over a 64-128 image series. I have went 72 images in one test sequence, all different poses, files, and setups, and you learn a lot doing a huge sequential set like that.

Lighting can kill you, especially with multiple camera angles, so you do a lot of test renders (with a figure) for a ton of angles. Another thing that can kill you is choosing a set so complex it slows your whole rig down or takes forever and a day to render. Some sets also fight you by getting in the way of your camera shots, or making navigating around the scene to check difficult.

This? This isn't a set, because like my fridge full of leftovers I want a break from all that setup work. I love monsters of all shapes and sizes, and I love tweaking materials on them to make them more scary. I made a couple small changes here and this is still a WIP, but a fun one and I love the sick look to this. This thing will eat your leftovers...and then you, I am sure.
