Teacher's Pet Turntable
Besides just having the character, I wanted to add a pinch of an environment around him to further the concept.
Character Ideation pt 1
First pass of ideas for what I wanted this model to be about - I was thinking more along the lines of cryptids back then.

Gino's Diner at Night
I absolutely loved the look dev on the videogame Batman: Arkham Knight by Rocksteady Studios. I had only just started the game when it inspired me to create this environment, which also takes reference from the many rainy nights here in Brooklyn.
Gino's Diner during the Day
This environment was also heavily influenced by summer in NYC. A couple summers ago I tried to walk to Junior's Diner in Brooklyn, but the trek there was nothing short of brutal. I tried to capture that oppressive heat here. I also thought it was a good juxtaposition to the nighttime version, which features a heavy rain.
80's Still Life
I take a lot of inspiration in my daily life from 80's aesthetics and the vaporwave phenomenon. I wanted to create something fun and dynamic that fit the theme of my biggest influence. I think the funnest part of this scene was creating the candy dots paper. I think it conveys a real sense of motion caught in an instant. I also like the extra layer of post I did to further the aesthetic of 80's digital media.
Unedited lighting and texture pass
I think the unedited version of this environment really shows the benefits of post! Although I like the composition, textures, and lighting, there's still that essential 80's grit that's missing.
This shot is taken from my short film, Suspend. This is a critical moment in the film, where the character stumbles upon freedom. I think the lighting here is the best feature. Combined with the glow and grandeur of the architecture, it speaks to the soft beauty of the entire film.
Pre-edited render
This is a first redner pass to see how well the textures work together and if the color scheme needs work in post.
This little devil is from my short film, Don't Answer that Door! He's based off the Boogie man from Nightmare Before Christmas.

This environment was based off of 1930's American slums and 18th century Siberian architecture. It was a bit of a challenge to combine the two - but I found a common ground in texture, material, and amount of dilapidation.
Siberix with Textures
A first texture pass of Siberix to make sure the environment looks cohesive.
Inspired by all the apocalypse scenarios in the media. Composited in Nuke to give that toxic air feel.
School Days Unedited Render
A final render without post on it.
