Sounds like a fun exercise! It’s really to see such variety and experiences in your posts there! Way to go!

Learning is all about experimenting, doing mistakes, learning from them and iterating. So I think it’s important to share any process even with flaws

You end up with a pretty clean result. I can feel that, as you say, the mood could be improved, probably with a more dramatic light, sky? A Slightly different camera angle? I know it's easier to write than to achieve, and at the end, these are your choices :-)

Welcome back!

Thanks a lot for taking the time to provide a breakdown

Welcome back! Really like the idea of making a transparent background. Both characters are really well designed, and guess you had fun giving life to them!

Thanks for sharing and I think you're right, would be beneficial sometimes for artists to play with UE, play with light and why not use these shot for reference for a 2D artwork?Would be more creative than using from images taken from search on the internet here and there.

Nice one and thanks for the livestream heads-ups. Will try to watch :-)

Ready for an HBO adaptation after Last of Us :-)

Would be interesting to see the process as posting these two side by side don't really help to understand how it's done. Do you've some breakdowns ?
