I've a very deep love for rain and rainy days. Unlike most who love warmth and sun, I much prefer cool, rainy and foggy days. Living in Donegal, Ireland I'm lucky to live in such a wonderful place that inspires me all the time with ideas for tiny worlds to build full of color and shape.
This piece is from my "Rainy Days" series where I've used Zbrush to sculpt every frame of the rain splashes. I wanted to maintain a stylized and playful look that I've always strived to achieve in my work since the start of my career as an artist. I could have tried particle effects or other, faster methods, but I didn’t want to break the design of the world so sculpting the rain was my only option.
With "Pond at Dawn" I wanted to use dusty pinks and lilacs with deeper purples and warm yellow lights to simulate a light rain shower at dawn.
