Hello everyone, this is my first character, for a university project.

Thank you!

Im tried to start with Substance Painter, but I have a lot of problems with the opacity of the brush and the color picker.. I look for something more focused on hand painting, but i will try again with Substance.

I keep trying and i will update this post with my progress. Thank you again!

I have taken some time to hang the result but here you have it, painted and the normal map with photoshop.

Don't recommend painting in normals maps like that for something this "organic."

What render target were you aiming for with the diffuse texuture?

I actually think painting in 3d coat would be way better. Especially for a hand-painted look.

Have to agree with Pyrzern here. For Hand painted assets I also use 3dCoat (it's really close to Photoshop and has also a nice export/import option for photoshop)
