Gorilla Illustration by Ray Cassel

I usually work in more traditional media for my wildlife art, but in this case I wanted to see how the new FiberFX fur shader worked in my upgraded version of Lightwave the 3D program that I use. This was an opportunity to challenge myself to create a realistic image. I decided to create a gorilla. The fur on a gorilla is somewhat uniform in color and length and would be a good initial test for the latest version of my software.

First I had to sculpt the model. I used an organic modeling program called Sculptris by Pixologic. This is actually a free download from Pixologic, and is somewhat like working in clay.
