Annoyed Ghost | Project file
🕑 Added 2024-01-12 07:34:14 +0000 UTCLearn the techniques I used for this ghost by checking out the project file.
I was commissioned by @nateschmold to turn his drawing (see below) into a 3D animation, for his hip hop band called @ghost.cartridge. Took me 5hrs. I recorded the whole process, but it got messed up somehow.
Process:
The ghost has the same color as the world, that's why it's "see through" but also not. The outline is made with the lineart modifier. I applied an envelope modifier so at the bottom the line is thicker and added a lil bit of wave distortion effect which makes it look more organic. I drew the face, the shadow and the "reflections" with grease pencil.
The bubble is made of metaballs, then I converted them to mesh so I could apply the lineart modifier to it. I converted a few edges to grease pencil to make those bubble details.
I applied noise modifier to the shadow, the face and the bubble details so they wiggle a bit.
Here's the original drawing.
