When it’s halloween but you need to go to the lab.

An artwork posted on halloween (October 31 2023). First attempt to the “Grayscale To Color” skill.

Process:

• Rough
  

• Lineart
  
  • Generating a data matrix for the Eppendorf tube bag (using my website :) )
  • The code has been deformed to fit the packaging. Unfortunately, it can’t be scanned directly.
    

• Defining the brightness of each part
  

• Basic shading
  

• Rendering (Control the edges and the value of shadow)
  

• Adding color by using the ‘Color’ layer mode
  

• Modifying color according to the orientation of each part, sub-surface scattering, or contribution to the visual center.
  

• Changing the color of lineart
  

• Adding filters
