comic time

Not a fun of comics but a fun of Tanino Liberatore from the 80s
Here I'm testing a shader, so have fun. I may finish this, its just a three hours work. Retopo and UVs included LOL.

This with some SSS and Ps+Ai


This is the raw BPR, no shadows.


And the Liberatore style matcap

Yes!, Long live Liberatore!

Nice Ranxerox!!!!
Miss this guy!

[michalis]

Thanks jaystein777, kargall, jmenna
I missed this guy too.
But it was just for testing a shader, please try it and tell me what you think.
I mean I haven't paint it yet, its the matcap only.
@icaba1, I don't understand what 'heavy metal dude' means. Sorry for my english

very cool.that image and shader has quite a Richard Corben feeling to it.

Nice to see you do something completely different

[michalis]

Its because of your recent posts julian. Thanks

[michalis]

Some more work and a plastic material. BPR+sss

Wow the last render is awesome!! great model and shader!

[michalis]

Thanks manzarek123. Its the simple shader.
Multi passes-exports render. Combined as screen layers in Ps. I'm posting them just to show how the front and back sss maps look like. These two sss renders use different light angles and this is most important. They use shadows but with vdepth at 16 and res 400 (BPR shadows). No AO, this seems to kill sss feel.

Testing manzarek123's great shaders. Thanks man, a great gift.
A first 30 min concept 3d sketch for Lubna. (rank's girlfriend)
