Berserk Fanart - Guts Chapter 86

Hello everyone !

I've recently been catching up on Berserk and during my reading, one scene particularly struck me : it's an emblematic panel from chapter 86...

For me, it's one of the best manga panels I've ever seen, and I wanted to make a fanart of it.

It's the climax of the tension that builds up during the arc, and you get such a good feel for the Man's explosion of rage, hatred and despair.

Those of you who know the story will know what I'm talking about...

So I wanted to recreate this scene in 3D. At first, I just wanted to do a 3D sculpt with "traditional" textures on substance, but then I thought it would be interesting to do textures in an anime and manga style as a bonus.

So I did a lot of tests, both technical and graphic (composition etc...) to find the results that suited me best.

Thanks to Kristof Dedene for his manga shader !

This project has allowed me to learn a lot of interesting things and to become much more comfortable with the workings of Blender's shader nodes and shading, texturing in general.

It's also a way for me, as an artist, to pay tribute to the author Kentarō Miura for the incredible work he left us!

I hope you enjoy it !
