The baby Final

1 love
Waking up with a shock, something’s wrong, stumble-rushing up the stairs. Throwing open the door, seeing the cradle... This is my entry for the Halloween Challenge Scream. WIP thread: https://cgcookie.com/questions/15050-halloween-challenge-2021-wip-the-baby#answer-57062

  • This is creepy, like all the details, especially the blue elephant looking at crib.

  • Cheers @adrian2301 :)

  • Well done spikeyxxx
    You made us scream like a baby!
    Winner 🏆

  • Thanks a lot @theluthier !
    I decided to make an image that is not creepy at first glance...there are a lot of ways to add extra creepiness, but I opted for extra contrast between the horror and warmth/sweetness...
    Probably not a choice most people would have made ;)

    Spikey, you're always brings a solid effort to these challenges! As a father I felt this scream-worthy scenario deep inside. The image tells a story and the camera FOV adds an uneasy creepy layer.

    I think the lighting could have been a really fun opportunity to increase the creepiness. Like a hall light illuminating the room and casting the shadows of shocked parents.

    Still, great execution over all! 👏

  • Thanks Adrian!
    The silence of the lambs reference indeed suggests it has been eaten, but there are more clues:
    was it the Mafia or the godfather (title...),
    or maybe it turned into a pig, like the screaming baby in Alice in wonderland (the white rabbit and the Cheshire cat...),
    or was it you @adrian2301 (the bell...),
    or did the teddy bears take it on their picnic,
    or...

  • Nice work spikeyxxx
    Can't hear the baby scream?
    Then scream!
    The elephant did it, he ate the baby, he's got that look about him!
    The rabbit knows, its in shock!

  • Thanks bc_griffin !
    It's just a Hair Particle system, but it took 'forever' to tweak :)

  • Wow, I love the textures on the Elephant! Well done.
