Stylized hand painted Potions (WIP)

domfiglhuber

Heyo, I started working on a small collection of stylized low-poly potions some time ago.
The goal is to have them all fully hand painted and ready to use in Games and Animation ^_^



I'll keep posting progress updates here and I'd be happy to get your feedback and suggestions along the way!

TOOLS:
Blender (Ucupaint), Clip Studio Paint, Wacom Intuos Pro M

WIP of hand painting the first potion.

My first go at it, without looking at reference xD


A later stage, with my layer setup in Ucupaint:

Almost final stage, the one I posted here already


And my current progress.
Mainly revised the cloth material after feedback from @Neox , looking closely at some WoW assets I have in my ref board.

This looks sweet! 

Curious why the bright little bits on the top of the cork? Might those be better as cracks?

domfiglhuber

Cheers Eric!
And interesting point. They should depict sort of gaps, showing the brighter cork inside.
Main inspiration was this ref, but I see now that it might not be clear enough.


Might be better to turn them into darker indentations?
But I could certainly try making them in more of a crack like shape as well.

Maybe give them some highlights/shadows then, to indicate they are depressions, where the old cork has been chipped?

domfiglhuber

Yeah, that could work. Will try ^^
