The Acid fish is a part of bigger project in which that creatures have been created in a nuclear chemical laboratory by a main character which I named it The Acid Man. In this shot I have tried to show the small piece of the story in the laboratory.
Zbrush has been utilized to model and texture entire work, excluding hard surfaces, which I prefer to exploit maya as my modeling software. Additionally, in the time of modeling, the Zbrush R7 has not been released yet and I found the R6 version difficult to model and retopology. Many test renders have been experimented to achieve the desired atmosphere and ideal lighting. Eventually the entire project finalized as shown above.
p.s: rendering in Arnold and tiny comp plus retouch on photoshop & after effects.
