Happy Holidays everyone!
I remember the days from back when... coming inside after sledding or snowball fights just to warm up your hands so you could feel them again, warming up with some hot chocolate and a freshly baked cookie. It's that time of year again!
This project was made for BlenderGuru's 2017 Christmas Competition. It was a learning process again for me but it was enjoyable every step of the way. Started out by drawing and painting the concept art, then the modeling, shading and rendering process. The storyline of the image changed slightly from the original concept idea but I'm very happy with the results!
4hrs - concept art
23hrs - modeling, texturing & shading
56hrs - rendering
1hr - post processing
All comments welcome, cheers!
zzinnfandel thanks!!
cclayton95 No doubt, I love it, awesome! Haha! :)
Absolutely gorgeous, and amazing details, I love the bit of magic you've added with the terrified gingerbread in the kid's eyes.
questregister Thanks! Yes the fuzz was intentional by the way :) Merry Christmas!
This is very eye-catching! The fine little fuzzy hairs on his ears were unexpected, whether intentional or not, it's a nice unexpected touch of realism that differentiates it from what most people are probably used to seeing and expecting stylized 3D characters to look like. You obviously put a lot of time and hard work into it and it looks like it paid off. Great job and Merry Christmas to you and the rest of CG Cookie! :D
This is insanely well done! Amazing
Thanks everyone for all the compliments!! :)
awesome work!!
Nice work! , Very clever with the reflection of the terrified gingerbread man in the boys eyes! I love it :)
Clayton, this is adorable! Awesome job :)
