This photo-realistic image of an elephant in a dark, moonlit environment is impressive. The elephant is in the centre of the image, looking directly at the viewer, with its trunk extended. The elephant's ears are spread out and its tusks are visible. The background consists of trees and bushes, and the moon is visible in the top right corner of the image. The work was created digitally using Blender, Substance Painter and Photoshop. The elephant was sculpted entirely by the artist himself. Detailed photographs of real elephants were then used to sculpt the texture of the skin. After the model was ready, the skin was painted using Substance Painter. This is time-consuming work to make the right colours and textures look realistic. After all the plants, soil, trees and mist were created, the image could be rendered. This render is only half a product, because in Photoshop, the image is worked out to perfection. In total, about 80 hours were spent working on this image."
This image can be printed on canvas including the 3 cm border. And has a resolution of 9000 x 9000 px
