Looking great! Did you also do the concept art?

Yes the design's mine too, sorry for a slow response.

Jonas Ronnegard · Mar 2014

Long time since I did anything handpainted, here is one from a couple of years ago.

Mitch Cosgrave · Mar 2014

Just a little something I've been working on, still in heavy WIP stages.

stevston89 · Mar 2014

Here is a couple new one from me.

Here are some of my hand painted assets. Hope you like it.

modebloggen · Apr 2014

Wow VFajardo, beautiful! Loving the small mushrooms on the bridge and the light coming out from under the door! Awesome details

CSOConnor · Apr 2014

hand painted character i did for the blizz student art contest, didn't place but i still had fun

Fenyce · Apr 2014

Wow, beautiful ones VFajardo! Does the first one (the scene) only use diffuse, too?
I'd love to see some breakdowns! Stunning stuff. Which engine did you use for the scene?

Thanks. I just render it on 3Ds Max with a standard light and a sharp shaded shader.

Wendy de Boer · Apr 2014

These look great, VFajardo! Are you making a game with them?

Fenyce · Apr 2014

Thanks for the breakdown! Loving it.

low_seb · Apr 2014

Acualy no, these were some work for my last job in an brazilian asset store company, but I would love to see a game with those assets.

Michael Knubben · Apr 2014

So glad to see people still posting in here! There's some unbelievably inspiring stuff here, makes me wish my job involved more handpainted texturing

I'm impressed with the range of styles, as well.

I thought I'd join in the fun and post some of my own stuff. I'll link to most of it, so I don't clog up the thread:

Michael Knubben · Apr 2014

Nice! Shame about how lowres that triangular shawl part is, have you considered tiling that, or at least straightening it out? Currently the blurryness makes it look like a much different material.

Shuaws · Apr 2014

Here something I worked on for a personal project its not completely handpainted but I thought I would post it anyway

agitori · Apr 2014

hi I did a test with hand painted style texture (I have done the high poly on zbrush) and after that on photoshop

PhattyEwok · Apr 2014

This looks great, Noise! How did you do the render? It looks like a Photoshop paint over xD Love the style!

All the scene is inside CryEngine 3. I only used photoshop to increase a bit the contrast and the usual tweak but any other painting inside. Expect for the texture work ofc.

natysoz · May 2014

Hii my name is natanel Yosef ,
I'm looking to add more 2d and 3d artists to my game project
We are now rolling on indiegogo, and we need more staff
If you like to become one of a team, we all work in collaboration that mean income money from the game by %
We all pro users, with years of experience
i saw you goodies , and it's good for us

Would it interest you? Stop being a worker and join a team that maybe become a company

BradMyers82 · May 2014

Natysoz: good luck with the game dev. You should post some in game art with breakdowns for the game, and then mention you are looking for help.

I'm not a moderator, just think you would be more successful that way.

DeviatePanda · May 2014

Here was a character I did for my portfolio, any suggestions for names would be appreciated.

Jesse3DFreak · May 2014

Eww, this is all so awesome!
I wish someday I will be as good as you guys.
I recently started with handpainted textures and I love this amazing style!
I'm really new to the scene so be kind :$.

Here is some stuff i made so far!

Fenyce · May 2014

Hello Jesse! Your wood texture already looks great, it reminds me of the legend of zelda: the wind waker, which has a similar handpainted texture style! But there's one thing you should keep an eye on, and that's the highlights. Make sure to keep in mind where the light is coming from, like from the upper left corner. You've kinda mixed that up.

Beside that, if these shall be planks, you need to rework them. Do some bevels along the edges of each plank.

The stone texture would need a lot of work. I guess you should gather some references, realworld photos and other artists handpainted stuff.

Also I would recommend you to open up a thread to improve your skills, some people here give a lot ofgood critics and helpful tips.

Thank you very much For your kind comment Fenyce.
Yes, I love the fantasy style of wood with all those curly stuff haha.
I'll make a thread to improve my skills by comments and critics!
