HIT ME WITH YOUR LOVE

•

SECOND STEP:

After trying some new 3d stuff with Cinema4D as u saw previously in my first posted work some weeks ago I was proposed to do an album cover by music*from*the*future producer Alizzz for label Moving Castle.

The main idea was Hit Me With Your Love, so the shape of a heart actually came straight to my head. I didn't want to xpress a heart but I wanted to make some kind of analogy, so here u have the final artwork I made for this music release ( recently reaching the half million plays! ).

Thanks alot to PARANOIDme for every tip he gave me since the very beggining with the 3D. Props to Diego!

MAKING OF:
I did start with Zbrush time back. I was trying with some brushes. I decided to start sculpting some kind of organic shape that finally didn't convince me. As I have no xperience with Zbrush I deciced to come back to Cinema4d. We'll see in the future.

A NEW TRY:

I decided to come back to the initial step: just make a cute moving cluster in Cinema4D with MoGraph tags, gravity parameters and cloner options.

And then I added some lights, textures and that flat pink background.

At this magic point of the xperimental project I started to work to work ( ALOT! ) with materials, lights, surfaces, displacements, refractions, maps ( I usually make the maps by my own in Photoshop ) and of course different kind of renders.

You can now njoy some of the rejected proposals here:

When I arrived to these graphic solutions I arrived to the point to understand I didn't need to add anything to postproduction. I mean, I worked the motion graphic and the materials to not to edit ANYTHING at the end of the render. I know many people trick their final results with Photoshop once is done, but I decided to make this happen from the scratch, working everything by my own and I honestly think it worked quiet well.

I am rarely decided when I end every new project because I always wanna try more and more, pushing myself to keep experimenting but I did have a deadline so with this ending date I thought I arrived to a great point.

FINAL STEP of this second project :

Add a wide background to addapt for the web of the release where songs and art where shown and in my case I was really happy after weeks of experiments with a very different random results.

I REUPLOAD NOW the final image again for you to understand after all this detailed work-in-progress in this post.

You shall consider I'm still learning this software Cinema4D so I can tell for now I'm proud of what I've done, that's why I wanted to share this with everyone here in Behance.

I really hope u enjoyed also this one. Thanks for support.
