Sanctum of Forgotten Hymns

Hey friends, I'll be trying my hands at unlit hand painted style. Here is the modeling so far. Will make a few adjustments but I think I'm almost ready to move on to the rest of the process.

Here is the finished model.

Started doing some colour blending. Currently working with fill layers. The tutorial uses regular painting layers and he jumps around to different hues a lot... Will experiment with that to see if I like it. It scares me a bit because its more of a destructive workflow. Leaves are missing from the painting because I'm using some outdated dodgy shader in Painter where Opacity doesn't work. Leaf placement is subject to change because I can do whatever I want.

Painting in tile design took for frickin ages. Had to redraw 4 times until I was happy with it. Still gotta polish. Started colour blending.

Coming along nicely!
I understand it took long, but the tile design looks strange to me with the angular pattern on the round platforms/steps, especially since it seems to be cut off at the borders.

Ashervisalis

@Noren Yeah I was thinking about that too. Let me play around and see what I can do.

Might be a question of UV layout and reuse as well, i.e. whether you straighten the stairs out or keep everything unique and undistorted.

Wipppppppppppppppp

Didn't get much time to  work on this lately but damned if I'll let it slip away into the unfinished projects abyss. Was told to push contrast so I did. Getting close to finishing

Loving this so far!

I will say, the dark background through the stained glass (that bright-ish sunlight is shining one & through) isn't helping at the moment-- as it should be brighter through that crack, or the stained glass shouldn't be as bright as it is.

It's kind of a weird concept, as it's a ruin, so where is the bright light coming from? It's shining in from the window, but the walls are demolished, so bright light should be coming in from all around.... I don't know! I guess consider why the window is bright!

Ashervisalis

@Joopson yeah man I can totally see where you're coming from. My idea was that the glass itself is mystical and glowing, acting as a portal for light coming from somewhere else.

Joopson

Perhaps some mystical glowy particles could help to make it clearer-- I think as it stands, it's not obvious that that would be the case.

I look forward to seeing updates!

This looks great! I do think it stood out really nicely against the cool toned dark background that you had before, I feel like it gets a little bit lost in the gradient you have right now

@ThisisVictoriaZ Noted, will fix. Thank yee.
