These photos were done at a photography studio back in El Paso Texas. I wanted to just do some colored backgrounds showcasing the "aura" of the character. I tried to capture Mononoke’s intensity.
Fun shoot I did a couple of years ago. Some of these pics are meant for me to go do composites. They were shot in a studio, which allowed me to control light really well which made the fur look bright but not over exposed. I went with a green edited background as a filler as it does fit the character well, since it symbolizes nature. My favorite photo would be between the first one and fourth one, both make the character look fierce.
