Loggerhead sea turtles invade a kitchen like a a colony of ants.
This is the tenth in a series of pieces, “Ocean Invasion,” which finds ocean creatures living in absurd land habitats.
This work was modeled using Blender software. Texturing and post-processing was done using GIMP. Completion took approximately one month on and off.
This was an exercise in integrating a 3D computer model into a real world photo with at least somewhat realistic lighting and shadows. I shot the photo with my phone cam, and modeled, textured, and rendered the octopus in Blender. A little bit of post-processing was done in GIMP. Began and completed in one afternoon.
