Cocoa Indifference
March 2nd, 2007As promised here’s a little of my process from another illustration I did for the children’s book Hot Chocolate for Sale. Click the orange “more”.

First a quick sketch.

Next some quick 3d models.

Then some quick texturing and lighting.

And a quick depth render.

Followed by some quick depth blurring and atmosphere.

Finally some quick falling white stuff. Man, this took forever.

Thanks Cristina. It was a fun book.
Mike, well, quick is a relative term. Like Uncle.
Jim, thanks. You know, those stripey cone hats fit penguins and baldies really well.
Sarah, thanks! The real question is, do you want a purple penguin!

Why is the angry penguin so mad at our friend the hotchocolate seller? Do penguins have ears?
