Old project 2021, maybe I revive it.

Did a blockout of my alien shop, keeping a retro-futuristic vibe. Still undecided between a cartoony shader or a more realistic look for the final result. The whole topic feels quite fun.

Final version (probably)

So much work! I love it.

Thanks, @FedPete, glad u like it

I love the color in the alien seller’s hands. How did you obtain those tones? Did you paint them or is it a material’s effect?

[Srl1]

It’s mostly subsurface scattering set to skin, with a light shining through it. Aside from that, it uses a procedural shader. In earlier versions, his entire body looked like that, but had to adjust it a bit, because it made him look like a giant jellyfish.

Thank you! I am so bad at painting that I would have tried by the same means, but one never knows . It looks great!
