Based off the amazing Pokemon artwork by @bluekomadori, original concept here: https://twitter.com/bluekomadori/status/1207019716985929728?s=20
Just really fell in love with Blue's incredible pokemon rendering style as well as the gorgeous little cute vignettes of them being together and figured I should give it a go. I think I'd prefer to try an alternate style more like clay possibly for a future attempt, rather than matcaps that inevitably come out looking very shiny or glossy. Still, the renders had some appeal so I decided to stick with it for this iteration.
Modeled in Zbrush, rendered in Zbrush, some small post effects added in After Effects (like thickening the lines and making them a little less perfect with some displacement warping). Overall was a fun project though! Highly recommend checking out the original artworks by bluekomadori, they're absolutely amazingly rendered!
