I’m Saitoni, 2D artist on the Drum -n- Ice project https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/59/drumnice
In our team, I was in charge of the visual 2D style and keeping the mood light and positive!
I also learned the hand paint technique for the first time at this jam —I’ll share more details about that in my next post.
Now, let me show you our characters up close!
Hi everyone!
It’s Saitoni, artist behind Drum n Ice, checking in again.
Today I’m going to show you my first steps in Hand Painting for 3D. Before this jam, I had only had indirect experience with this technique. This time, though, I had to learn a lot of new things.
I have to say I really liked this texturing technique. It makes the workflow much easier when you need textures but don’t have time for something grand. Of course, I switched the image back and forth between Photoshop and Blender a hundred times to check it — but I guess that’s just how it goes when you’re starting out! :D
I’m curious to know, dear developers: what was your first experience in this jam? Maybe you’ve discovered some new skills?
I’d love to read your stories!
