From iPad to Virtual Reality: Ed HENDRY’s Artistic Journey Breathes Life into "Harbinger"
Meet Ed Hendry, the Berlin-based designer behind this week’s feature project, “Harbinger”. Bought to life through a combination of VR, iPad and Cinema 4D, Harbinger draws inspiration from unlikely places, including the universe of “Warhammer”.
Ed's Warhammer obsession birthed "Harbinger." Inspired by the enigmatic Tzeench Lord of Change, known for sorcery and madness, this project embraces a sinister aura, drawing from vintage heavy metal art to encapsulate its essence.
Sculpting Sorcery and Otherworldly Clouds: Ed's Fusion of Mediums Unleashes the Power of "Harbinger"
To bring his vision to life, creator Ed embarked on a unique artistic journey, blending sculpting on an iPad and in virtual reality (VR). Extensive experimentation led him to a fascinating workflow—sculpting the demon's body and face primarily on his iPad, while reserving the immersive VR experience for crafting intricate details in its majestic wings. Transferring the sculpt into Cinema 4D, Ed meticulously created a glossy skin texture and seamlessly incorporated a myriad of clouds to infuse an otherworldly touch. The final composition was rendered using Octane, ensuring the true essence of the demon came to life. Adding a further layer of mysticism, Ed hand-drew the text, expertly capturing its essence before digitizing it and integrating it into Cinema 4D. This twisted Disney-esque style became the perfect complement to the ethereal nature of the Lord of Change.
