Which would you like to see more between Physically accurate (what i have been doing) or anime cel-shading and lighting.

Light preference toward a more anime aesthetic (realistic comes with a bit of baggage), but I'd need to see a comparison shot of the styles to be completely sure.

Daibreaki

I think I agree with Jesse. I voted initially on anime cel shaded, but I think some comparisons would help me to fully decide

I don't have any examples in specific oh hand, and i didn't want to upload other peoples art to a patreon post lmao, but i suppose the best way I could describe it is What you see from most creators with gatcha game models from Blender and such vs what those characters look like in the games themselves Take, most of my art for example. That would be physically accurate Anime/cel shaded would be how the models actually look in genshin impact for example. Flat lighting and hand-painted shading

Daibreaki

I see I see. In that case I think I’ll still vote for cdl shading. I’m not really against the photorealistic aesthetic, but I think I overall prefer cel shading

SizMetric

I'd love to learn it and mix up it up. Since ive pretty much always done physically accurate things, it would be a nice switch up.

Lyle Garbage

I think it really depends on the character and how extreme the body proportion are as mona would look really good cel shaded but a different character that's trying to be more realistic might look better not cel shaded

Accurate has textured booba with veins but cel shading activates the gooner's brain 🗣️

Jack Spero

I'm going to vote accurate but both seem equally good.

Zypher Tomko

Honestly both is good. Just don't burn yourself out trying to make everyone happy.

Eric Pinecones

Accurate does look nice but if it makes it easier, then the anime cel shading can be done here just to save on time
