Description
I tried to get an emissive map on Anders' face and body working in Blender so that I wouldn't have to paint all those glowy lines that he gets when Justice goes whomph myself ( i.imgur.com/gUCEeI0.jpg ), but for some reason it made his eyeballs visible through his head and I am too much of a dumbass to figure out why it did that. The more I fiddle with Blender the more I realise how much I just don't know about it.So that's why he doesn't have any because I failed at painting them myself (they looked terrible). Also sorry for ruining his hair.
I...Hope this looks okay? I went through a couple of different backgrounds and colour schemes and I'm still not convinced by the end result. Bluuh.
ANYWAY I LOVE ANDERS SO I MADE ANOTHER PICTURE OF HIM. Ish. I guess this is Justice
Anders extracted by Berserker79
Amazingly blurred background screenshot came from DA2

Made with GIMP and Blender.

Wow, you drew them so well! They look good even without the glowy lines!

Thankyou! I should stress that this wasn't drawn - it's a heavily edited render ^^

Oh okay, I don't know much about 3-dimensional art but it's still good nonetheless.

Hey, am I right to say Anders is one of your favorite DA characters? This looks very good to me, Anders/Justice expression has the very canon "pissed off spirit of Justice" snarl !
BTW, in order to apply an emissive map in Cycles I followed the input provided in the answer to the question posted here: [link] . I thinks this may be helpful in order the "glowy lines" on Anders/Justice face, but you'll have to paint the "mask" texture yourself I'm afraid (never found one in the DA2 files). As for adding the eyes, I thought that throwing an emissive shader into whatever nodes setup you use for eyes should do the trick, but I've never tested this.

Oh yes, I adore Anders <3
And Alistair and Cullen and Varric...Bwah, too many amazing characters in those games!
Thankyou for the link! It made me realise my problem was not having a black base background for the texture I was using (I pinched a lightning-y texture from the DA2 files, I think it was actually called 'crack') and then my attempts to get it to recognise the transparency so the glow wasn't nasty block colours was probably causing the error.
I possibly also had the mix shader for the emission too far down the line? I haven't messed with that too much, but previous experience has shown me Blender can be a stickler about correct order. No idea.
Was trying to set it up the same way I did the glowing eyes, since they had no problem. Anyway, thanks again!

You may be interested to know it's had 120 notes (that's a mix of "likes" and shares) since I posted it. I hope you got plenty of clickthroughs and favs as a result!

He is my top pixel love, yesterday, today and tomorrow ❤️so thank you a thousand times... as much as I do love his appearance in the game, if I imagine him with my femHawke, I picture him as Tom Mison from Sleepy Hollow series... check him out, he's my Anders faceclaim forever

I think he looks awesome! Even without the glowy lines I still saw Justice as soon as I saw this thumbnail. Love the snarly, beat-up look (what is it about the snarls that's so attractive? XD ) I also think his hair looks perfectly fine, too

^^ I do love making snarly expressions. One day I hope I'll be able to do a proper one - you know, with the nose wrinkles and bared teeth and all that.
Thankyou for the kind words, as always <3
