Process Video - Doctor Strange: Phantom Sorcerer / GB+ (Patreon)

Hello! Here is the process video for this month, and I do have some notes on my thinking process and other stuff that helped me throughout this piece.

Colors and Effects

After the recording, I just edited the colors of the piece using a Color Lookup filter (2Strip.look at 60% opacity) to kill a little bit of the purple and add more cool tones to the piece.

Is a little bit difficult to work with purples since they can be cooler or warmer. I personally prefer to keep them cooler with some warm accents.

3D Reference

As I mentioned, I used a 3D model for the piece to speed up the process. I used Daz3D and had to break the model a little bit to get the extreme pose I was planning to do. I believe I added the bodybuilder shaping to 300% to get a closer look at what I had in mind.

This really helps since I can get a sense of what is going on and proceed with a clear visual. I don't trace it; I just have it on the side to refer to.

Conclusion

I tried using different brushes but ended up using my reliable skin brush to do all the rendering. If you have any questions about the process, you're free to ask!
