Capy Pool
🕑 Added 2022-06-28 16:45:40 +0000 UTCA little experimental piece, featuring our capybara boyfriend, Cleiton.
This piece is a combination of 2D drawing and 3D modeling. For this drawing I knew I wanted to have Cleiton in the pool, with half his body submerged under the surface with some water distortion effects. But, because drawing water is kinda (*ahem* very) hard, I decided to try using my (10+year old) copy of Cinema 4D to make a neat water effect.
I made my drawing of Cleiton first, and added some lighting/shading, and drew some water caustics for the part of the body that was under the surface. Then, after some 3D modeling in C4D, I added in the drawing, placing it in my pool scene.
For the most part I got the effect I wanted, but it did take some tweaking and re-rendering of the scene a few times (spent all freakin' afternoon messing with it xD). Even added in some floating citrus* for a semi-sfw version too.
(*a common image that pops up when searching for capybaras shows them water / baths with lemons or Yuzu fruits)
In the end though, I think it came out okay. I'll definitely be trying this combination of 2D and 3D again in the future with some newer pieces.

Always thought this was one of the coolest images I've seen you do.
