Kraken

Kraken is a 3D scene I made in Blender for Expert Visual Design: a bottle of The Kraken rum held by a giant tentacle, in a miniature shipwreck. Around it are a ship's wheel, a treasure chest, a lantern, a diving helmet and a barrel, all standing on a wooden floor with a patch of sand.

The whole scene is left in the dark on purpose. A few cold shafts of light fall from above and the lantern is the only warm spot, so the bottle and the tentacle are what you look at first.

I rendered a still and a ten second animation with sound. To see how the scene works outside Blender, I also used it as the hero of a landing page, “Release the Kraken”, in a desktop and a mobile mockup.
