Sketches found in Neyyah - using the Neyyah world!
Hello everyone! Great to be writing up another development announcement for Neyyah, this time focussing on a recent task I had of bringing sketches to life within the Neyyah world ... Feel free to watch this devlog below to see the following process being initiated :)

I won't be going into great detail regards the purpose of these sketches (backstory, etc), but instead shall focus more on the technique I used to create them, and it definitely involved jumping through a brand new portal of creativity - and I had no clue what lay on the other side ...
3D render
This is an example of one of the 3D assets I've created for Neyyah which I wanted to use in my sketch artwork. Initially, I thought about perhaps sketching the building myself and simply bringing this into Photoshop where I could then do what I needed to make it feel and look a particular way (in the case of this artwork, very old and aged ...)
Here's an example of a couple more assets used - these are taken out of the Blender set which I've created them for and rendered out by themselves against a transparent background:
Through Photoshop, I can start applying certain effects to really make them look more like sketches. Going back to the first tower render, here is an example of two different art styles created from the render ...
Watercolour:
Graphic pen / sketch:
[h2]Merging the sketches into the paper [/h2]
Once the singular assets for a particular art piece were assembled and edited accordingly, I could then look at ways in which to blend them into the paper.
Basic template of having the singular assets upon the paper art within Photoshop
Work view of Photoshop - three duplicated layers of the same asset would be to achieve the aged worn sketch look most of the time.
It's then a case of taking the final satisfactory look of the initial sketch in its entirety ...
... and taking it a little step further ...
Here's an example of how the artwork could then appear within the environment of Neyyah ...
Test render
It's been a fun experience putting more of these together over the last few days. Neyyah is starting to reveal new dimensions in its vast complex world, and I really can't wait to share these treasures with you!
Thanks for tuning in! Til next time :)
