Tiki Statue

Tiki statue modeling and lighting test. Modeled in Maya, Sculpted in Mudbox, rendered in Mental Ray and composited in Photoshop.

I scuplted the statue so that it would looke like carved wood. The tools (machete, hammer and chisel) are meant to look used and worn.

The lighting is meant to give an overall dark overtone to the image while bringing attention to the statue.
