<<The Fallen Goddess Ishter and the Bull of Heaven>>
STORY:
Ishter, a Goddess from Mesopotamian Mythology, proposed marriage to Gilgamesh, the king of Uruk. Gilgamesh insulted her with a song, refusing her offer and the enraged Ishter then sent the Bull of Heaven to punish him and his people.
"An earthquake fixed a grave for nine dozen citizens of Uruk . Two or three or four hundred victims, maybe more than that, fell into Hell..." [Jackson 42-43]
After three days and nights , Gilgamesh and his best friend Enkidu killed the Bull of Heaven. Ishter lost the battle and she was punished by the Gods. They cut off her head and bound her soul to the guilty Bull of Heaven , then sent them both to the deepest pit of hell....
Ishter and the Bull of Heaven are now trapped there and they have been cursing both mankind and the gods for years and years.... If Ishter one day finds her head they will return and take revenge on mankind and the gods....
CHINESE VERSION:
Ishter, 本為 Mesopotamian 神話中的女神, 因為屠殺人類而被眾神處罰, 被砍下頭顱並靈魂被分離為兩分, 意識部分被鎖在面具裡面的七次元空間內, 另外的部分被釘在同樣因為屠殺人類而被處罰的 Bull of Heaven 的下身, 同被送往地獄的深淵....
DESCRIPTION:
構圖方面, 因為模型比較闊而且為了氣氛"重"些, 我用了三角構圖盡量表現主角和填滿畫面空間(當然不能全滿), 其他包括 lowcut, golden rectangle, outward tendency 等增加構圖感. 背景方面, 本人不想用傳統的"火海地獄"(太無新意了... ̄口 ̄... so i didn't use the lava i made), 而想表現"妖"的感覺, 所以用了"青藍紫"為主色. 為了不搶主角背景物盡量簡單(實情系不夠時間和我懶... ̄皿 ̄ ), 天空的光暗對比我盡量減低, 但是系必須的用作表現氣氛. 而右上的"妖天空"是我後來加上為了平衡角左下角的"主焦點手". 燈光方面, 我用了簡單的 3 point lighting 加上 focal point lighting 和自創的 additional 3 point lighting.... 造出"戲劇性"的效果, 總芝系好多燈 / ̄口 ̄/.
補充一下, 我是注重美感不注重真實感的, 因為電腦太廢, 我是分開4斷render的(load background into the next scene...). 這是我第一次造人物, 從唔識到(大概)識的過程中學了好多, 也發現仍然有好多要學. 如果大家有興趣, 遲o的講下其他setting~. 亦歡迎指出我需要改進的地方.^^ 希望大家喜歡我的處女作:
