mariana angler
is a 3D sculpture of an imaginary creature roaming the depths of mariana trench, the deepest bodz of water on planet earth. Less than about 20% of Earth's oceans have been explored and mapped in detail. This leaves approximately 80% of the oceans still largely undiscovered or poorly understood. So, who knows what's truly down there?
This model was created during a university workshop where we got the prompt "deep sea creature". The model was sculpted and textured in ZBrush, then overpainted in Photoshop.
These were the concepts of my deep sea creature which ultimately led me to the colored concept of a truly horrifying creature: an angler fish with tentacles... but as big as a megalodon!
