Leon Kennedy Fan-art (Resident Evil 4)

Some Fan-art done for an art challenge I did with colleagues about favorite video game characters. My 2020 take on Leon from RE4.
The image is a mixture of 2D & 3D with photobashing and painting intertwined.
The 3D base for this image was made in 3dsmax, zbrush and substance painter. Substance painter was used for some of the rendering like the boots & skin.
To cut down on time I used meshes to assist me in blocking out/rendering, thanks to the following:

All in all really happy to work on a 2D art piece using my 3D knowledge to speed the process and raise the quality, and it was a good learning experience.
