Pale Night

[Paolo Giandoso]

"She appears as an ethereal flowing shroud with the suggestion of a shapely female body underneath. It is said that Pale Night's true form is so hideous and terrifying that reality itself rejects it. The shroud that she "wears" hides it. To glimpse Pale Night's true form is risking madness and death"

Two days ago I saw the description of this arch-demoness on Wikipedia. It was an idea so beautiful I just had to make a concept of it. For the visuals I got inspired from the baroque fashion of the "veil of marble".







For some screenshots of my Zbrush mesh give a look at my facebook page:

Thanks for the appreciation!
I Tried with maya cloth at the beginning, but it was too heavy to compute, hard to artistically control and was producing too many intersections. In the end I used it to create a very low res base mesh and then I sculpted it in Zbrush using projections to make the cloth adhere to the body.
