Description decided to do a rough step by step of how i painted the unicorn. i glanced over the technicalities since they mite take too long to explain in text so if anything needs explaining i think i can type it out to whoever asks

and no there isnt any video of this since my current pc cant handle camtasia with a painting of this resolutionat the same time

feel free to download the high res if you cant read the text

hope you find this (somewhat) helpful

Whoa, it is very impressive for the hybrid painting technique.

I will try this one since I have some gunplas. (except I have to use my smartphone's camera since I don't have any DSLR or mirrorless camera)

ah well for the sazabi and the nu gundam i used a samsung's phone camera as a photoplate. As long as you have a clear picture, all it takes is some cleanup and you're ready to start painting

Epic work. I had never thought of starting from a physical action figure to created a digital painting...makes SO much sense. Thank you for sharing your process.

Cool. Looking at the final it's hard to believe it began as a picture of the toy.

Photoshop is just a tool. 80-90% of the time it comes down to how much you know about light/color/form/etc

and here im only using a handful of photoshoppy techniques. the rest of it is just plain painting

I know! I always get frustrated figuring it out..it does a lot of cool things. I should watch some YouTube vids.

It's way better than anything I could do in 5-7 hours in Photoshop.
