				<description><![CDATA[Part two of a two part horror 3D illustrator I did in Blender, where the monster found the POV character. I wanted it to look like a cheap jumpscare on purpose a little bit lol

Wasn&#39;t really going for serious horror with this, (I wanted it to look more like a slightly silly B-movie or monster-slasher film,) but it still took a while of tweaking the lighting, camera angle, compositing etc to get this right. In flat or natural lighting, this character model doesn&#39;t actually look very scary at all, you might even argue it looks cute under different conditions, which wasn&#39;t a problem with Part 1 because I could of the lofi camcorder film (which was done with compositing + turning down the render resolution percent really low btw BTW) but since the creature was up-close I kind of had to use lighting to make it look a bit more menacing, albeit in a cheesy B-horror kind of way

Not sure if it&#39;s easy for others to tell that the creature is supposed to be a bit shorter than human height, since there isn&#39;t really a clear reference point for that here, but I wanted to go for a &quot;horrible little creature that&#39;s not very big but very aggressive&quot; kind of thing, which idk why but I feel like is kind of scarier than just a big 7-foot-tall monster (maybe it&#39;s because animals that are both small and dangerous are extremely aggressive, like I feel like I&#39;d be more scared to encounter a bobcat than a coyote in most cases lol)]]></description>

Thank you! 

The fur &quot;texture&quot; is actually just hair particles over a material with a noise bump lol

The post took a bit of trickery, the arm is actually outstretched in a way that looks silly from any other angle, but it looks right from this angle. A lot of times 3D art/animation does weird perspective-specific stuff like that]]></description>
