#cel shaded

My model appeared on the Tumblr radar! I appreciate all the comments! It was interesting to hear that multiple people didn't realize it was a 3D model. I work a full-time job and modeling in Blender is one of my hobbies. Whenever I look back at my earliest models, I'm always shocked at my improvement. I look forward to seeing where I'll be at a year from now.

Multiple people asked how I was able to get my cel shader to look good. I've learned a lot from watching multiple videos and reading various blogs over the years. Here are a few things that I did for this model.

To start, here is how my shader graph looks like.

I have the Layer Weight plugged into the Color Ramp. This creates a soft outline around the model so that when objects of the same color overlap, it doesn't look flat. I've been experimenting with the options, but as of now, I like the way the B-Spline option looks.

Something else that I change is the shadow color on the color ramp. By default, it's set to black. This always felt dull to me, so I will usually change it to a magenta or purple. I also keep an Emission node ready so I can switch the model to all white. This mostly helps when modeling so I can see how the light will interact with the model in this style. Adjusting the settings of the light also improves the shadows.

Also, change the Color Management from Filmic to Standard. This ensures that the colors you're using to paint your model will look the same in the viewport. This option can be found at the bottom of the Render Properties.

Momo Ayase Chibi!

I made this Chibi in the style of Persona Q2 because I have always loved the art style! I’ve been absolutely loving the anime, I especially love relationship between Okarun and Momo! This pose is based off the main key art from the anime.

I know mods exist, but we don't play with them currently. One of the obvious early thoughts I had was a mimic enemy. Here is my interpretation.

Work in progress. The character is now fully rigged, but I need to do some fine tuning. Currently, the outfit feels a bit too basic, so I’m exploring some new designs to add more personality.

I found this little concept art (second slide) on Gallica’s concept art page and felt I had to draw it! I’ve been absolutely in love with Metaphor Refantazio and love everything about to the character and the combat!
