A Pirate's Fate
I had a few goals when starting this project. The first was to tell a story. The second was to document the iterations of the project and show how the original idea would change over time. The story is about a pirate hunting for treasure and ultimately meets his doom when he finds the booty he is looking for.
This is my first close-up shot. I wanted a few different angles to give the viewers and sense of what is happening.
The final shot telling the entire story of what happened to the pirate thief.

Rotting skeleton of a pirate. I wanted him to be all bones. This helps add a sense of time to the scene. He is has been there for quite a few years now.
Cutlasses that were thrust into the pirate thief's pelvis while he was trying to steal the treasure.
The hook was created in 3DS Max. The engraving details were created in Zbrush and the texturing was completed in Substance Designer.
This is the treasure chest breakdown. It was created in 3DS Max. The coins are a separate object from the chest.
This is the coin I sculpted in Zbrush. I took it into Substance Painter to texture. I piled the coins in 3DS Max using the MassFX modifier. I chose this coin because it would help the audience determine when this happened and where it happened.
A few iterations of the change of the scene. The concept blocking had a total of twenty one different iterations. The idea quickly morph after talking with a mentor of mine. He helped me to really push the story to be more organic and free.
