The QUILTED FOX

This is a piece I began in October of 2010 and finished around January 2011. I started then got sidetracked for a little while. The original photo is Amy Belanger's from her trip to Mexico. It's so cute! I fell in love with it, and I wanted to add something. The quilt is also Amy's one of a kind textile art, I thought I could join the two and blend it with a brush. I started in 3D Max using a textured plane and a cloth dynamic modifier. Then draping the quilt over a proxy child model and rendering with simulated light, I had a real good layer to composite in PS. Next step was time consuming blend, blend, blend. Some days it was quite relaxing to feel out the form and colors. So anyways, check it out start to finish.
