Description
Octopus creature modeled in zbrush , rendered in 3ds max, and composited in photoshop.
Photoshop was the main workhorse behind this image as it includes loads of compositing and digital painting techniques (water splashes, some waves)
I was unsure where to post it, but, the subject, octopus is 3d, that's why I chose 3d section.

OH, my! So THAT'S what happened to the Sydney Opera House! :) This is nothing short of excellent! Not only the octopus, the water is also fantastic. The whole thing could pass off as a photo. I wonder how much time you put into this. Excellent work, and keep it up! :-)
Beautiful and excellent scene and a Happy New Year to you
Excellent scene and work!!
maybe it just wants to take in some opera and have some horduerves that are inside
Impressive scene! Great Illustration possibilities with this style! I strongly suggest to pass to other famous Cities...
Wow. Really fantastic job all around. Very dramatic! Could make a great disaster movie!
Really nice work and very imaginative...5 stars from me...Do more please!
Excellent work!
!!!Great scene!!!
Slack jawed, open mouthed amazement!!!..this is brilliant. More,more,more!!!!!
What makes ths image so fanstasic is the frothy waves and the waterfall fx coming off the sea monster. Truly Awesome!
Great looking octopus and scene! A really excellent job on the water!
EXCELLENT!
You must have put a huge amount of work into this, I would love to see the component layers, i'll bet there's dozens of them, superb work 5*
@kits_ there were over 50 layers, and I'm not counting many others that were merged together at some point to reduce the file size :D @KnightWolverine_ Happy New Year to you to!! And all the rest here as well. @doriano_ I'm planing another one, this one should have giant crab in it, also exiting sea or some water.. Thx for watching and commenting!!
This is truly amazing work! The waves and their movement are incredible. Your work on the octopi (Kraken) seems very realistic. Simply wonderful and I wish you a wonderful New Year!
Fantastic Image. Love the creature and just a great job on the water
