Making Of: 'Friday Night' by chainsaw|clausen

Hey steemians,

I've written a little making of article about my artwork 'Friday Night' I've posted last night. (https://steemit.com/steem-cartoon/@chainsaw-clausen/friday-night-by-chainsaw-or-clausen)

Idea:

The idea was to create a scene which could straight come out of an classic point 'n click adventure (like Monkey Island or Day of the Tentacle). I love those games and had have many joyful hours of gaming in my childhood and pre teen era. I've decided to setup a scene which represent my alter ego (chainsaw|clausen) in his room in front of his computer. (like Neo in the Matrix movie). Sometimes I made a sketch before I start working on a new artwork but in this case it was freestyle.

Modeling:

The whole scene was modeled from scratch in 3ds max. I used a simple modeling technique. That means in most cases I stitched standard primitives together. The wardrobe for example:

The base object for all parts is a simple box. With chamfered edges and some extrusions it looks like a wardrobe with doors. Finally I added some deforming modifiers to give them a cartoony look. Every object was modeled like that step by step and placed into the scenery.

Texturing and shading:

Also nothing special. Simple tile able textures placed on the objects. (quick and dirty :D)

For some objects I created some hand painted textures and for other I used some photo textures.

Lightening and rendering:

For every lamp in the scene I've placed a 3D light to illuminate the whole scenery. Plus some additional lights.

The whole scene was rendered with Vray render. To have more control about the image, I've rendered a beauty pass and some extra layer (volume lights an z-depth).

Post work:

In Photoshop I've stitched all layers together. I added some extra layers for background and glow effects.

Last but not least I make a little paint over (the hairs for example) and add some color correction layers to reach the final look.

I really enjoyed! Fact! The description of your process is astounding. :)

Amazing!!!

thank you.

Wow this is so cool. I have so little clue about this kind of thing, I really enjoyed seeing the process you used to create this. I really like the slight deforming you did, that gave everything so much more character. The glow-y layers you added in PhotoShop look pretty awesome just by themselves, the third image down in that section (the darkest one with the figure silhouetted by the light coming from computer) is pretty awesome as a stand-alone. And yeah, the final outcome definitely looks 100% like ye olde classic point-and-click adventure game. So cool.
