It's red crab versus blue crab in my latest bit of beach art (my second this month -- I really can't wait for my beach vacation this fall). In this scene a couple of the fiesty crustaceans are squaring off over a small tidal pool that separates their two territories. Waves crashing on the beach create a drumbeat for their battle. Meanwhile, stormy clouds begin to roll in and blot out the blue sky.

The crabs were made in ZBrush then imported into Vue where the rest of the scene was constructed. Final rendering was done in Vue and took about 8 hours on an Intel I5 2.8 GHz with 8 GB of RAM. Post production was done in GIMP.

Thanks for looking!
