About "Skelfie:"
Skelfie was inspired by an ink drawing by the New Zealand based artist T. Wei. I loved the surreal scene, and decided to interpret it as a 3D scene in Blender. I used a mix of modeling
techniques: polygon modeling with modifiers for the geometric shapes, and a bit of sculpting for more organic elements like cloth folds. I used a lot of SSS in the materials, to make it
more lively and less "plasticky." In the end, I decided to call it 'Skelfie' as a blend between 'skeleton' and 'selfie'.
