The Moonstone

I made this for my buddy and awesome illustrator, Tim Probert (www.timprobert.com), based on his upcoming comic, Bea & Cad. I'm a pretty terrible gift giver though so I roped him into helping me with some art direction.

I tried to do as much of this piece in 3D as I could. I used Houdini for the first time to make the dust cloud and I generated curves for all the spiderwebs with an awesome script from AKA Tools called KobVebs (https://gumroad.com/l/KobVebs).
