The Ancient Ruins

A project inspired & based on the concept art by the incredibly talented, Javier Franco Santacreu. Please check out his original artwork, as well as the rest of his works on his artstation page: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/rRndm6

This piece immediately stood out to me on one of my trips to pick up inspiration through the pages of Artstation, so much so that I was driven to recreate it myself in a 3D setting.
An ancient ruin that has been taken over by a lush green jungle, yet at it's centre, the stern gaze of an ever watchful God-like figure remains, piercing the souls of all who enter it's domain.

Modelled & sculpted using Maya & Zbrush. Textures created using a combination of the Substance Suite & Photoshop. Rendered using Cycles in Blender.
