Playing with styling techniques for 3D renders in Arnold, Maya. 

Inspired by Lee Grigg's Refractive Portraiture methods I wanted to create ethereal painterly stills. I always love toying with surreal imagery, I wanted to see if I could replicate the same movement/feeling of abstract resin art procedurally in Maya. Within the shader settings randomized and timed variables were placed in, creating abstract and procedural effects for fast experimental stills. The scene consisted of a single photogrammetry statue, within three point lighting, when forwarded on different frames new variables change the scene allowing for large versatility. Once on a good base, I pause the frame and fine tweak variables for composition/color/flow. 

My favorite to create was the reddish green piece, a very surreal and unearthly scene relying on complimentary colors, a mild visage of decaying flesh.
