Last professionnal work

Here is my last work, done at Akama Studio Paris.
I was responsible for some character modeling. Then i did the Texturing, Shading, Rendering and Compositing.
The universe already existed, it's the last one of many TV spots so the task was far more simple for me.
Thanks to Team Akama for help and support. You rocks guys.

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetle..... WIP

Here is my last work, it's a Work in Progress of the principal character from the old animated tv show beeltejuice.
I was lucky enough to find an original concept from the art departement. see at the bottom of this message
I prefer showing him without hair until i do it with Hair'n Fur from 3dsmax.
Actually everything is done with zbrush, now i'm gonna export it to 3dsmax for retopology, textures, Blendshape...
