Some time ago, I started doing a series of sculpts based on other artists‘ work.
I quickly discovered that this is not only a great way of practicing the whole workflow from sculpting, modeling, retopo, texture painting to lighting, it‘s also a very cool way to interact with other artists!
This is the original artwork the above render is based on, by the fantastic Ann Kiernan:

Nice work, you’ve done a great job replicating the 2D style while subtly adding a bit of 3D. It looks very deliberate, it’s clear you put a lot of time and thought into this 
Thank you very much!
After finishing the sculpt, I was a little sceptic. I showed it to Ann, the artist of the original piece.
She asked for colors and wanted to see more.
I love this. I’ve been keeping a collection of ‘3D paintings’ on Sketchfab for years now - you might enjoy it too:
(PS: can we have your model on Sketchfab too? 
)
Thanks a lot!
I think I saw your collection on sketchfab some time ago.
Maybe I‘ll upload and let you know. I‘ll have to check with Ann first in any case. 
you have captured the image so well, cool stuff
I featured you on BlenderNation, have a great weekend!
Thank you!
