Description I kind of like this direction with the heavy contrast and comic-bookish styling. I'll probably explore this more in the future, but for now I'm happy with it. I'm always free to suggestions to improve the work and moving forward!

Hulk mesh created using Zbrush
Hulk pants and building ruins created using Autodesk MAYA
and of course everything rendered using MAYA (Mental Ray). Rain and water was done using; fluids, nParticles and help from Photoshop.

Thanks! I'm working on giving Spider Man similar treatment. I've already done Ironman and Warmachine, not sure how much I'll get done today though!

The contrast is cool, but his face is almost completely blacked out, which detracts from it quite a bit, imo.

Yea, that was my concern too, I sacrificed maybe a bit too much in the face to accommodate the high contrast comic book style. I will come back to this piece in the near future and tweak certain areas, face will be the first I tackle. Not too shabby for using 1 area light for the entire scene though.

What I'd do is I'd cheese it with a volume light near the head, but I'm not really a lighting expert by any means.

I could do a volume light, though that's going to light up more of the Hulk then I intend (may affect the contrast). I may go with a spot or point light because the head is really the only part I want to increase light on plus it'd be a bit easier to tweak. I'll play around with it though, decisions, decisions.

This is EPIC and works so well for this character!! hulk being a particularly tortured soul and such. Great work!!

Thanks! I wanted to keep the dark contrast, its a bit symbolic of the rage monster that haunts him within.

You're welcome, the contrast was real effective, him being such a dark character, it makes sense he should be lighted that way. it's great!
