2024 was the best season we could have asked for and he hasn't even pitched yet! In honor of the 💙 $700 Million Man 💙, I made some fan art. He started as a sphere in ZBrush like always.

I did a bit more compositing than I normally do for my portraits. I have been taking a lot of high contrast-y photos with my Ricoh GRIII HDF and the grainy, streaky photos it takes were a big inspiration for this one. I also focused on the pose of the model and composition of the frame to stray away from my earlier work which I feel is a little stale since they are mostly busts shot straight on without much dynamism. Hopefully you can feel the weight of the bat on his shoulder right before he blasts one out of the park.
