A look at the Victorian freak for 3DS MAX

1. Starting off

This project was inspired by the Frankenstein’s monster in the film Van Helsing. After watching the movie I thought, I could create a better freak than that! So I did… God knows why?

I have to say I had nothing on paper to start off with. Its not that I’m bad at drawing, its just that the project was so spontaneous, onto the 3d stuff I said to myself!
And the design was clear in my head, Man has accident with lantern, Magic Lantern man!

Reference

When I looked for reference I referred to www.3d.sk for human reference and clothes.
I then looked at Alan Moore’s ‘The league of extraordinary gentlemen’ comics for ideas on Victorian technology which seemed to be a perfect place to start as it was full of pages of insane Victorian machinery and weirdo’s.
