-------

Inktob- I mean, uh... «daily-ink-artwork-month» is right around the corner, and for this week’s POLYCOSM video, we’ll be creating an animated Noir-style 9-panel storyboard by combining both 2D images and 3D assets with the help of a Blender Ink Shader pack created by Darth Shader.

If you’re a 3D artist and interested in participating in next month’s activities, there really is no better Ink Shader pack out there. If you use the promo code «INKWOOD-POLYCOSM», the first 100 people to use the code will get 5% off. This shader pack is SUPER versatile and ships with a few presets that are super easy to customise. We can’t recommend it enough!

POLYCOSM aims to bring you high quality tutorials looking into concept creation from a 2D AND 3D perspective; taking a concept from a rough sketch and turning it into a fully visualised 3D model.

The channel is run by Freelance artists Christina Myrvold and Omercan Cirit who both work in the entertainment industry on a full-time basis.

We want to show you how to come up with creative ideas, use reference efficiently and how to generate different concepts in the 2D stage that can be then interpreted by a 3D artist in a full, detailed production pipeline.
