The Skull:

 

I created the skull from a sphere, which I shaped with dynamesh and finished the details after remeshing.

 

The Hair:

I started out with the hair by masking the scalp and creating an extrusion which I then shaped with snake hook and clay brushes in dynamesh.

To add the suction cups I created an Insert mesh brush which I then applied all over the hair.

 

The Seafish:

The starfishes were created with the same method as the hair. To add texture I applied an erosion noise.

The Barnacles:

The barnacles where shaped from a cube and created into an insert mesh brush which was applied onto the face, breast, hair and rock.

 

The rock:

I created the rock to hold the skull for two reasons:

1. I find it aesthetically more pleasing
2. to hide the fact that I couldn’t move the hands/ reposition the model and the hands weren’t holding the skull properly. (see next post)

I shaped the rock from a sphere, added barnacles with the insert mesh brush and then applied the flower.zfp  from the software’s lightbox with fibermesh to mimic underwater plants.

 

The ocean floor

The ocean floor was shaped from a cube and modified with clay and crumple brushes before I added more barnacles. The bones and ribcage are created using the IMM Dragon Bones brush that came with the software.
