@XDragonfruitx Hellooo good morninggg, if you use cel shading alongside the gradient that may help with the "too realistic" worries you mentioned. Hope that helps! Thank you for the ping :)
Figured I'd post this one here too as I am a little doubtful on whether this one will approve or not!
Venice Carnival inspired, given that I cannot cover the 100% of the wolf I uncovered some areas, but I am unsure if the uncovered areas constitute 20%. Will obviously simplify if the whole idea is fine in itself, want to make sure before I get too carried away (Lineart and everything will be made to keep everything neat and I will render this as I did with the two pieces I did for testing the waters a while ago.)
Instead of doing the Volto mask if it is too much, I can do the Colombina mask which only covers half of the face (eye area).
+ skirt variation, messy thicker lineart to distinguish uncovered areas.
