Some reference pics.

Another Photoshop 3D test.
Testing out how one could use the grayscale depth map to 3d function in concept painting.

- Made a 32bit 2K image
- Painted elevation map in grayscale
- Made 3D out of it
- Converted to 8-bit 2D image
- Painted

Painting time: about 1,5h
Total time: about 2h.

EDIT: Found out how to make my blog bigger and wider to better accommodate big FullHD monitors!

Here's an updated version! With more pokemon! 23 in total. + minor fixes in the environment and colors.

Alchemy is pretty neat once you learn to use it.

More legendary pokemon!

Since I did Xerneas last time.. I thought.. maybe I need to do Yveltal too. But I'm not a bit Yveltal fan. So I painted both!
After studying Yveltal I actually started to like him/her/it! Although the tail is a bit odd, the whole design is actually pretty cool.

EDIT:
Here is the original little sketch I did during a life drawing class at school.

Here are the 2 other environment ideas I did for the classmates iPhone game.

No 3D in these ones.
Not sure how much time these took..

Some forest reference on the green one.

Did some environments for my classmates iPhone game and decided to take a challenge and see how could I use the PS 3D tool.

- 40min modeling
- 10min unwrapping
- Began Photoshop work
- Paint, fix, render
- 2 concept paintings
- Painting total time = about 2h

TOTAL TIME: About 1h on 3D + About 2h on 2D = about 3h

Here are the final pictures:
