Well it can but my skillset is not there LOL, and for my purposes its not really worth it for me to learn that

Do you mean like 3D modeling the character? tbh no because that is wayyyyy too much work for a 2D image, and also wont look very good! Theres a reason i always draw in the character myself for these pieces cus the 3D cant really get the organic shapes like a human

wayyy longer lol like 10-20 hours

i wanna say 6-7 hours

YEAH tbh i wanted to learn it because i tried using models but i would always get paranoid about copyright/usage stuff and i felt kinda guilty that i was using models that i didnt even make myself lol so its nice to just create exactly what i need from scratch

this is a rough estimate but i think i spent 3-4 hours in blender and like 1-2 hours painting over

blender learning curve was def rough i spent over a year learning it thru youtube and then later a paid class, but now that i can model quickly it saves a LOT of time. i would recommend it if u enjoy it tbh!

this process allows me to create a piece like this fairly quickly, this one was made in like two evenings

i model the environment in blender -> i set up lighting and add basic color in 3D -> i do some basic compositing in blender -> i move to my 2D drawing program and paint over the 3D render, make the colors more interesting, add detail -> i draw the character in -> profit

tysm! ❤️

i dont trace i just paint directly on top of the 3D render!

So it depends on a lot of factors! Since im really used to modeling now and can do it quickly, doing it in 3D is 100x faster. When i was still more of a beginner and took forever to make a 3D model, i would mostly draw it by hand and still do sometimes!
