Tifa Lockhart in a Bar [Final Fantasy]. Tier 3 WIPs

Added 2020-07-10 11:40:31 +0000 UTC

Hello!

Here's a step-by-step WIP's sequence of recent "Tifa in a Bar" picture (original lineart by Legoman)

About the process: from the start i made a 2 versions with left and right light, then combine them together to have like a main and secondary light sources. Then i just worked on the anatomy, tweaking things here and there, changed the butt position and of course switched the head completely to match the one that i did on a previous Tifa artwork.

After that i switched to Blender - i used original in game Seventh Heaven Bar model that was extracted by Oo-FiL-oO , set up the lights and adjusted materials. I made a several renders - a main one, and the additional for the Tifa reflections on the bar counter (since she's just a flat image and not the actual model i had to move her around like 3-4 times and render). Then i combined the renders in Photoshop, added some light effects and put Tifa in. Next step was just tweaking the light on the character so it would look more natural in the scene and adding a glow (Bloom) effects. The final step was texturing to sort of match the level of details between character and the background and adding shiny skin highlights and veins for the alt versions

So yeah, so far that's the most technically advanced project that i've made. And thanks to you it was brought to life!
