Looking Outwards – 05

I admire the Weeping Woman by Carlos Ortega made in 2012. I admire the 3D quality of the character and cloth. The light and shadow are a big part of making this happen. I also admire how the colors blend together to set the mood for the work. The work is based on a version of the Mexican legend of “the weeping woman” and the song called “the weeping woman” by a Mexican band Califanes. I believe the colors, and how the character is posed, and how the ghosts are made reflect the creator’s sensibilities. It was made using Autodesk Mudbox, Autodesk Maya, mental ray, and Adobe Photoshop.
