The Blue Dragon (Magic Light Pictures' Zog)

Back in 2018, I worked on a Christmas special for Magic Light Pictures at Triggerfish Animation Studios . It was a short film adaptation of the children's book Zog, written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler. The film features a school for fledgling dragons who are all eager to discover the secrets of how to roar, fly and breath fire! Among the class is the Blue Dragon, who recieves a gold star for being the first to produce a staggering roar. I was lucky enough to texture and shade her young and old variants, my first character texturing and shading work in a professional context.

Featured here are the beauty, diffuse albedo and specular passes as well as contextual renders from the film.
