PURE HART

Original Concept

This project was my first time creating a full grooming setup, and I chose to work with a deer to explore natural fur variation and flow. It was both challenging and exciting—learning new techniques while shaping believable fur patterns and textures. Overall, it was a rewarding experience that pushed my skills and helped me grow as an artist.

LOOK DEVELOPMENT

It's time to talk about grooming! When taking the Maya Modules course at Gnomon, one of the very first tasks given by the professor was to think of what kind of project we wanted to have completed by the end of the term. We were given the option to either do something with animal/creature fur or human hair.

After long consideration, an idea popped into my head! Being a lover of anything regal or elegant, I decided to make a deer for the class. The process was more challenging than I thought it would be. Although it was difficult, making sure that all the hair strands worked perfectly together and the deer looked believable was an extremely satisfying way to end the term.
