Alireza Akhbari is a digital environment artist at Basefx. This image took him just six days to complete. “My workflow is like that of several different companies, with some slight differences to account for being one person,” he says.
Alireza highlights nature, photography and other artists’ work as essential influences. On finding the right pose for his wolf, he says: “Usually I prefer to pose my character in the scene. 3ds Max has a few handy tools for this part. For the wolf I used the CAT rig system, then made corrections in Zbrush.”
The very last step is the lighting, a crucial aspect of any image. “For base lighting I imported my blocking scene. I wanted to achieve atmosphere and with blocking I can save time on the render. Once I get some nice lighting I import the lights into my scene.”
