The cat model and pumpkin were created by artist Kateryna Babych.

​

The textures are all originally created and hand painted in Substance 3D Painter. I wanted my textures to be affected by the lighting. In Substance, I transferred the World Space Normals onto the Normal
maps and painted over them with a paint brush tool. This would help give dimension to the textures and cause them to be affected by light.

 

I hand painted each part of the model. I started with a base color, then slowly worked up to more details. Shadows and highlights were also painted in. I wanted the overall feel to be “imperfect”, “painterly” and “scribbly.” Which would help add to the overall charm of the character.

For an extra effect, I added emission to the candle wicks, inside of the pumpkin, and the cat’s eyes which created a glow.
