Let's smash the barriers that hold us 2D artists back from diving into 3D workflows. Using our painting skills and the magic of Blender's cameras, lights, and atmosphere, we can bring virtual worlds to life for stylized concept art, illustrations, and filmmaking!

Learning Blender's interface? Easy. Mastering the entire 3D pipeline? Not so much. So, let's ditch 3D models and embrace hand-painted PNGs in 3D space! In this talk, I'll break down how I create entire worlds using basic Blender tools and a ton of painting, similar to the painterly art style of Netflix's Blue Eye Samurai. Plus I'll share a behind-the-scenes look at the 3D workflow used for my traditionally painted fine art commissions for the CEO of Riot Games himself!
