Hello,
I would like to show some of the “Scary Toons” I made in the last few months.
Worktime for a toon is between two days and a week. The workflow is mostly
Maya for the base mesh and ZBrush for anything else. Rendering is done in
ZBrush with multi-pass, composed and color corrected in PS. Render size is
6000pixel (3000pixel with AAhalf). Hope you like it, C&C are welcome.
Cheers

Really cool stuff, Ralf! 
(My favorite is good old Pumpkin Man 
)
When you say this:
Is there any tips or already posted advice on your workflow? I’m curious
to know how you set up your renders/passes…
cheers.

I really love these toons! 5stars
These are just fantastic. I especially liked Marvin and Pumpkin Man.
Thanks for comments.

Ralf,
These are great. How are you painting these?
Full of character, can’t get enough of them. If they were made of plastic I would collect them all.
Hat off!
Bye

“Great looking Toons, Ralf !” …did the “real time shadows” change your workflow in regards to the render-passes ?

Thanks for comments.
For the paint job: it’s polypainting. For hard edges I use a mask or I made poly-
groups (for example the stripes). A blurred edge in the rendering I correct in PS.
I need a day for rendering, composing and color correction and to fix the
render mistakes in PS for one toon.
Rendering has not changed since ZB2. I use the same (secret) shader and the
same Light setup (except a correction of the shadow curve in ZB3).
The render passes are one beauty render with GI shadows, two backlight render
and a pure specular render, sometime some material variation render and
for sure an Alpha render.

thanks for the additional workflow info, Ralf.

Superb job…
Very very cool character style.
So, do you make the render in Zbrush ?
