I made a pirate themed 3D poster illustration recently based on an old sketch of mine.

I created 3 versions. A colored, a monochrome and a cartoony flat one.

I used everything I have in my arsenal to solve some complicated details.
(thank you community for the tons of things I learned along the way)

Finally here’s the original sketch. I followed its composition very rigorously.

Thanks!
I combined multiple passes from the workbench engine and created the end result in PS.
It’s a great workflow!

I would love to see or hear more about that flat 2d workbench/PS process.

I’m gladly talking about it. But it would be nice to take my time and illustrate it with images.

@bartv would you be interested in an article detailing this process? :thinking:

That would be great. It could just be 2 or 3 images with a bit of explanation as opposed to a full article. If that’s easier. I’m just curious, it’s such a unique piece.
