A Noir Horror
3D Render by RedSpartanI felt I wanted to move away from all the gothic Victorian horror I've been doing and try a different era. This has a more Lovecraftian 1920s/ 1030s kind of feel I think, and there's more of a story being told. This came together pretty quickly once I had the idea in my head, but the original creature was going to be all tentacles and slime and hidden more in the shadows, but I couldn't get it to work right. The creature here is a freebie from Sketchfab, and I feels works really well. I've posted the original raw render from C4D to indicate the level of postwork I tend to do in Photoshop.
Thanks for looking...

I’m familiar with all three programs, but I’m coming from a completely different, non-cinematic background. Do you know any resources, write ups or videos where I could get an insight of how you do these things?

Sat, Oct 17I can't think of anything I'm afraid. The style of my work has come from 20+ years of trial and error, studying (and occasionally copying) the way other artists (much better than me for the most part) use light and composition. I'm always looking through online galleries at art, searching for inspiration and trying to get an idea of what makes a picture work, and trying new ways of working within the programs I use, especially during post work in Photoshop. For instance I've been using the CameraRaw filter for the last couple of years, which I'm still discovering new things with. It's really helped me get away from that 3D Daz look and develop a finished style that's a little bit different (I hope that doesn't sound condescending, there's nothing wrong with pure 3D art, it's just not something that's ever appealed to me)

Sun, Oct 18Thank you for your kind answer!
I have to admit that I actually don’t really know what I’m looking for, I’m new to this forum, there seems to be a certain spirit here and quite often a very high quality in the images. Basically, I’m trying to grasp that.
It’s probably not about any tricks in the programs we use, but more about the artistic approach. I’m going to study that further.
Thanks again!
