I had the pleasure of working on visual development and illustrations for PaperHat Press's personalized children's books.
My contribution involved creating the initial 2D layouts and color keys, setting the stage for the rich, layered artwork that follows. The illustrations are a mixing of 3d with a loooot of postproduction.
Jonatan Catalan took over to construct the 3D environment, tackling the set, props, lighting, and basic shading.
Once I received the raw 3D renders, it was back to me to apply the finishing touches.
I then focused on postproduction, adding fx and fine-tuning the images to ensure each page delivered both wonder and delight.
