this is what 100 hours of work looks like in 3 minutes

Boss Fight | Primordial Stirring

"How did this take you 100 hours to make?", you may ask. And to be honest, I don't know either. Behind the seemingly smooth workflow in the video lies hours of experimentation. Although I made a concept sketch on how the scene should play out, the boss didn't turn out to be quite as how I wanted it to be after modelling it, as it is my first time creating a character from scratch. It lacked namely the sharp, jagged edges on its armour that gives it an element of intimidation. Regardless, I decided to proceed with what I have as it would have taken too much time to add in those details.

As I carried on with my work, the more the scene strayed from its concept as I realised how little story my concept art told, something that I wouldn't be satisfied with. Instead of making another concept art, I decided to just experiment with what I have in the scene, changing colours, poses, lighting etc. At one point, the scene looked like a Miles Morales vs The Spot. I changed that quickly to avoid copyright issues lol.

Slowly but surely I landed upon with what you see in the final render, and I am pretty proud of it! It is most definitely my most complex piece of work so far, having not only never modelling a character from scratch before but also animating one by myself!

I hope you love it as much as I do! A little disappointed that this didn't make it into the Top 100, but there's always next time. :D
