Thanks guys, much appreciated! @Brandon.LaFrance these screens are from Toolbag version 3 (can't seem to replicate the exact look with 4 though due to SSS not working the same way). I'm currently tweaking these for use in UE 5 though.
For now the best way 2D artists can show their art is 'real' is to also show the process involved, ideally in video form, since AI can't replicate that (at least as far as I've seen). EDIT: Looks like I was wrong. :(
I feel that PMing people directly for something like this can be considered as "bothering" them. Yes some people will gladly reply, but the ones who don't, will still likely read the message and go through with the decision of not replying, regardless of how nice the message was. They might feel guilty for ignoring…
