It took me down some rabbit holes between not having a strong enough computer to complete the sculpt at one point, obsessing over color detail from all angles thinking about maybe a 3D print or animated poster which lead to wanting to attempt a real hair sim (which ended up being a deep deep rabbit hole, but I settled on a sculpt with a little paint over in the final image here). It’s always been my experimental piece so a lot of the stuff on here I hadn’t tried before at the time. Ihave no idea how long I ever actually spent on it but probably way too long.
I started this project a long long time ago and have worked on it on and off. I wanted this image to fall somewhere between surreal and realistic much like the character and comic do, so hopefully it achieves this.
The Maxx is a very abstract character that changes form quite a bit from image to image, but this my culmination of the character existing in the Outback of Pangaea.
