Lighting Experiment

Lighting Experiment


a little lighting experiment, trying out something a little lower effort since it might encourage me to render more sketches

normally I hand pick all the colors I use, but I wanted to try using blending modes for once since it definitely reduces complexity + reduces overall layer count. left one took basically no time at all, right one took 20 mins max to shade I think, which is much faster than usual for me

I think the right one with a bit more time could have some of the mistakes ironed out + I could reintroduce other passes (like ambient occlusion) to get a more detailed look. But I also wanna experiment with cel shading more, since I'm sure I could improve that significantly as well
