Until Dawn 2024 - character portraits

These are character portraits I created for Until Dawn 2024 - The idea was to replace the character images seen in Dr Hill's notebook with something which looked more hand drawn. These were also used in a new 'Sam's sketchbook' interactive item you can find later on in the game.
I tried a few different methods to create these - photoshop filters, etc but in the end I got the best result by hand drawing them with my trusty old Wacom pad in Photoshop.
I found interesting appealing poses/expressions for the characters which showed a little of their personalities, lit them in engine, then used the render as a template for the drawings. Was quite a fun departure from 3D modelling (although it did make my wrist hurt!)
