Arcane Inspired 3D Character Bust

Hello polycount! I've never shared work here before, but I'm trying to reach out and find more folks to talk with about this kind of stuff. Here's a WIP of a small project I'm working on, which I started because of a JHill video lol. Character is based off of a drawing done by Pavel Hristov.

Hoping to have this done soon, I'll try to keep this thread updated. Enjoy!

Neat work! Is the lighting all painted in, or are you using some dynamic shading? Curious what the images are made with, and where you’re going next.

All lighting is manually painted here, I'm using a shader that disables all actual lighting in substance painter. The image I posted is just screen captures I took from substance and combined/cleaned up in photoshop. Nothing fancy, but I like to present things cleanly if I can haha

Sweet, old school, fits right in here!

I’d suggest you could add a bit of red saturation along the shadow/light terminus. But of course depends on the reference material. Thinking of the PSG Art Tutorial… https://androidarts.com/art_tut.htm
