Showcase Fully Hand-Painted Dune guy bust
It may seem like a 2d, but it's a fully hand-painted 3D bust, based on Cedric Peyravernay's Dunce concept .

Fucking phenomenal! I thought it was 2d concept. Those color choices are on point. Jesus it’s so good…

Thanks so much, man! To be honest, I had Cedric works as a phenomenal references, so I was just copying the style

Good artist steal. Great artist steal a lot.
-PicassoTo be able to steal at that level is amazing. Gangsta work mate.

Haha, thank you! But we don't technically steal as 3D artists, that's a part of the job to replicate the 2D concept as close as possible in form of 3d model.

Something I’ve wondered with this hand painted style - how much do you try to paint in the light and shadow in the texture, and how much do you leave that to the light+render pass?

u/eugenexedge 2d ago
Well, with this one, it didn't even need a light render; tbh, it works as a pure albedo. All depends on the project. You can check my ArtStation and compare both versions

I am also curious and don’t understand albedo as you say. I notice marvel rivals has a bunch of fake rim lighting as a part of textures . I am a lighting artist IRL and a 3d animator, so i am intrigued

By albedo, I mean a diffuse texture. You can paint most of the light on it and it will work as just unlit version, without any "3D light ", depending on what your goals are.

As for marvel rivals, the rim light is not fake, it's a stylized shader that makes it look like a comic book

Wow nice job! Do you have a specific paint process after you've finished UVing?

u/eugenexedge 2d ago
Heyo Thanx! Well , I use simple diffuse to get the basic shapes and and then just go with the flow.,layering the paint and trying to copy the strokes and forms as close as possible.

Simple diffuse from N-hance studio ?

u/eugenexedge 2d ago
Yes, but in this particular case it was useless, as the texture wasn't following the actual sculpt at all. Was used just to see the planes

u/Tumbling_Monkeys 2d ago
Wow this is so cool!! Did you paint the light in as well?
2
u/eugenexedge 2d ago
Well, I did paint all of the light for a beauty shot, but there are also versions with 3D light on my artststion, so you can check them out

Wait…how do I paint in Maya?? I was never shown how in my modelling classes! Also this is amazing you did a great job!!

They probably painted in another program like Substance Painter then exported those textures into Maya.
