Hello! Happy to share my take on an original character by artist Spec. As a big fan of their work, working on this really made me appreciate their thought process and artistic choices a lot more! I try to implement something of my own style with every recreation that I do and I’m really happy with how this turned out!
I used Tada Gaku’s Deep Paint add-on for the delicious textures and hand painted look.
Lovely to be part of such a vibrant and talented community! <3
Welcome to Blenderartists! This is great work. The muted colors and texture add a lot. Did you texture paint even the light catching the eyes and hat, or are these part of the renderer?
