A Comic I Did Two Years Ago And Never Finished

how did you get that toon shader to look so crisp in your most recent blender work?

it’s not actually a proper shader material, it’s just flats with added bells and whistles, rendered out using the Workbench renderer rather than cycles or eevee!

here’s some setup to show you what i mean:

if your object has a texture map you can select ‘texture’ under Color rather than material, but in this case the colors are purely material-based, and goes by the ‘viewport display’ color property in each different material

also the the outlines are hard to see here but they are drawn both along the silhouette and along where each separate object meets (for example, there’s outlines are drawn around the base of the horns) and that adds a subtle hand-drawn effect

next step is to check shadow and cavity

shadows and cavity are looking nice so far. in cavity settings you can tweak the strength of ridge (peaks highlight) and valley (cavity darkness) as needed for your object, as well as shadow darkness for your preferred effect. the edges of the shadows are softer by default and i want it toony so that’s here this tweak comes in:

that handy little settings gear on the right of the shadow slider is where you can harden the shadows and tweak the light direction if you want/need to

and rendering takes like 1 freaking second even at high res so that’s another plus to this method

hope this helps!

Trying to prove a point…

A bunch of drawing I HAD COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT. They have been in my computer for I don't know how long, for the gods. #doodles #oc #sketches #iforgotthem https://www.instagram.com/p/BqqLq5NAm4Q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ecs5r6v2a7pr

The most hilarious thing about the fact Buckbeak had a trial and lost is that later on JKR resolves the issue by having Hagrid take him in again and renaming him Witherwings. That’s literally all it took. What if in POA, Hagrid simply said, “Sorry, Buckbeak flew away.” 

“There’s a hippogriff right there, Hagrid.”

“A different hipprogriff.”

“I’m… pretty sure that’s the same hipprogriff.”

“Prove it.”
