after dark title This started as an experiment in combining 2D and 3D images. After rendering a 3D model, I digitally painted on top of it, using the lighting from the model as a reference base. I initially questioned the validity of producing an illustration in this manner, and then I came to the conclusion that it's just another tool, like photo reference or a wooden mannequin. copyright
