Halftone Anime

[ManiFest 7]

So I tried taking an old school vintage design idea and played around with the Color Halftone filter.

 

Now what makes this unique to me is that I took this old school concept and merged it with a new school idea.

 

Meaning instead of using a real life subject I decided to try and make it happen with a anime render.

 

I am actually quite happy with the result.

 

It is actually kind of hard to explain the process.

There was no layout. Started only with a render.

 

Please see the render here with no halftone work:

Not in this particular order but these are some of the steps I took.

 

1. Render (Did not draw the anime character, it was a render)

2. Color Halftone

3. Hue/Sat Adjustment, Levels, Curves

4. Color Layer Fills

5. Some Gaussian Blur

6. Remove Dots

7. Lots Of Inverting

8. Paper Textures

* Pretty much blend the halftone according to my preference.

 

I am thinking of doing some more work with this.

 

Took me about 2 hours to complete.

 

I may make a tutorial for it some time to see the work I put into making this.

Pretty nice work m8.

 

Perhaps you could add in some more shapes to make it fancier or maybe bokeh?

 

Text could make it a bit more interesting as well.

 

Overall its a bit plain but still nice

Second one is probably better.

I would agree with the text.

I tried the bokeh it would not really work with the type of background I had going.

I thought about text, I decided against it.

I was going for a plain look, I did not want a complicated piece.

 

I do appreciate the comments

Really nice concept, very simple but with a great outcome!, looking forward for the tutorial.
