Shenron Summoning

CONCEPT:
This a re-upload of a piece I decided to update. This artwork is inspired by the dragon Shenron in the anime Dragon Ball Z. It conveys the moment he is summoned and descends to Earth.

HAIR DEVELOPMENT:
I developed the hair in Maya using Xgen. I placed curves along a poly hair cap, and converted them to Xgen guides. Then I adjusted the settings and added modifications to get the look I wanted. I could have stopped their, but I converted the hair to polys so I could push the texture and remove scaling limitations.
