Among the works of the SFFS seniors, there is a work with a stag beetle and a long-lived beetle as the subject.
It was a very realistic work, and I thought it was a wonderful work, so I thought, 'Wow, I want to do something like that.'
In that way, I took the direction of the work as a natural object, and there are already completed works for insects, forests, and terrestrial creatures, so I started thinking about the sea creatures.
In the meantime, for reference research, I followed a VFX related hashtag on Instagram, and one post I saw was a hermit crab modeled with Zbrush.
Hermit crabs look fun to model, and I thought it would be visually cool to make them as realistic as possible.
So, I decided to create a portfolio using hermit crab as the main material.
