Chtulhu is coming - Blender short
36I created this video in the span of 8 days as a nice complement to an exercise I did in my Zbrush class, we had to sculpt a creature with tentacles, and since I really liked my Chtulhu's head I decided to push it way further and created this short animation.

The only elements that I didn't built from scratch are the rocks, and the materials from the lighthouse.
This is the first time I've modelled a full human from scratch and animated it without using mixamo or any procedural workflow, which is why it feels kinda janky but I'll get better in the future with regular training

Thx to you for your awesome high quality free materials library !
The scary horn sound is from the movie The Lighthouse, an awesome movie that inspired me A LOT for this video
