Hey guys, this is my last update about the head, since it was the last undone thing on the Meet Mat. I made changes on the head scarf, added more wrinkles, a knot with tied ends and added a little more of the coin details in the front. With the Paint along Path tool I  added some wooden and golden details surrounding the crystal. The crystal face was the hardest part to figure out, I drew the clouds and the face in Photoshop, exported masks of everything and moved it to Substance Designer. There I created the stars and the lashes, as well as parameters for colors, opacity and size, so I can adjust and easily change everything in Substance Painter. At the end I added some highlights on the clouds and made the face emissive.

I have added some details to the edges of the rug with an alpha brush, changed the color and added a few coins to the bottom platform. The coins on the waist scarf now have the height and the blouse has increased height to the fabric details, so they are more noticeable. I have now started to experiment with the shape of the head scarf and the pattern of coins on top of it.

Since my last update I created a velvet material for the waist scarf and later added it to the rug as well. To achieve the effect of the velvet material I changed the way the normals reflect the light with different masks and noises.  The gold coins, the net and the beads I did in Substance Designer and placed it on the Meet Mat with the Paint along Path tool. I still have to adjust their height and paint a mask for the coins, so they are not affected by the creases of the velvet scarf, as I did for the other elements like the leather vest. I added more creases and folds to the blouse and for the edges I used again the Paint along Path tool to make the seams. I used Substance Designer for the pants material, the golden bracelets, the necklace and to create a proper mask for the Tarot cards.

The first thing I did was to separate in layers the masks for every piece of clothing (the blouse, the pants, the waist scarf etc.). I tried out different shapes of the clothes with placeholder materials, to see if the corset mask shape for example is working well with a proper leather material. After that I added more details to the blouse, wrinkles to the waist scarf and created a very basic material for the crystal. I placed it on the back of the Meet Mat head and made the front transparent with the opacity channel.
