Here i tried something new!!
I got a new pc and now can actually start tampering with 3d stuff (something i wanted to do for super long time!) soo.. welp!
Stages 1-3 are pretty standard and self-explanatory.
4. Here i put some basic male model someone shared with me long ago in the same pose as my drawing and set a lighting similar to what i usually draw. Decided to not make it super complicated this time.
5. Used the rendered picture as a reference\base for the shading. I painted it all in one layer (which was probably a mistake - applying it to character's colors was a little tricky and i'm not sure it will work every time with every palette). Erased some parts of the lineart (most of the torso outlines).
6. After juggling with the layers for a pretty long time, i decided this layer combination worked good enough. At first it was a little scary to me because colors didn't look same way as they usually do at this stage but it was either working with it or redoing entire shading. Had to trust the process!
7-8. Overpaint - fixing small mistakes, adding detail, editing colors, finishing touches.
