Speed-paint process below.

I have a dinner party to attend to tonight, which means I had to get all my doodling out of the way first and early. I just picked whatever I saw on Pinterest that interested me.

Updating an old piece based on Tom Glynn-Carney from House of the Dragon with updated textures. Went through and rebuilt some shaders from the ground up to make it feel fresh and more detailed. Still keeping the original pose and composition, but the look is completely overhauled. A few screenshots of the update here, but it’s still a work in progress and I’m fine-tuning materials and lighting.

STILL A WIP- But were almost there. Spent the last couple days doing the extensive baking process in substance painter. there were a lot of stacked fabrics and surface details to sort out, and I had to lean on channel packing to get all that detail transferred in a way that would actually fit in my 8gb of vram.

It's one of those things that's both a headache and kind of fun when it finally lines up.

The project’s almost done now, which is equal parts relief and celebration. also i never want to look at another mattress again unless i'm going to be sleeping.
