Description
As requested.
The 3D software I used was Modo, but really, any 3D software will do.
Also, my modelling is terrible, since I haven't touched it for nearly a decade, but for this kind of photobashing purposes, I guess it's good enough.
When rendering, you can also render the alpha, the illumination and the surface id, which is a big help in selecting areas when painting later on.
If I had a little foresight, I would have set the green secondary light source in 3D. But I didn't, so I had to paint it in.
Also, if I knew how, I'd have changed the FOV, but I didn't. XD So the comp looks rather boring.
Hope it helps!

I'm learning Blender, to make something like this.

thanks for showing your method, its inspiring to see that one can use Zbrush and Photoshop together like this. I want to try this sometimes.
Do you have more artworks in mind which use a similar method? Could you write their name or link to them? I'd like to use them as inspiration, theres a particular scene that I've been thinking about for 10 years and this might be a good method to do it with

You could take a look at the works of Eytan Zana, who is simply amazing at this kind of style.

For me, it's even more impressive now that you showed you made a 3D model first! I think it shows you're giving importance to the underlying construction, and not making stuff up as you go along and hope it will fit somehowΒ Β (Sure, there are certainly people who know exactly what they're doing without a detailed construction, but hey...)
So: Thanks for sharing this!

... Oh!Β Β Fascinating!
It's stuff like this here on DeviantArt that always gives me the sensation:
"Ah! So that's another way how it can be done! 
Thanks for sharing this, sandara!

Cool seeing someone else use Modo. I come over surprisingly few who have used it unless I search for it. It's my favourite modeling software

Very interesting process. Thank you very much for sharing!

I thought the picture was all drawn! o: this is way cool! I love how you combined two different platforms into one amazing work of art!

Love the magic you create with anything!

oh this is really interesting!! for some reason, i'd never really considered that artists would use software like this - i thought it was all done by hand, but this makes a lot of sense & takes a lot of time off the process. thanks for sharing it !!Β

...Yeah, I'd want to do something like this if I ever wanted to draw stairs for some god forsaken reason haha. Thanks for the tips!

oh my goodness you're good enough to make a whole gameΒ

it's a model? O.oΒ
And I thought it would be a drawing ...

This is a quick and fast way to paint. By blocking out the architectural elements first, you get the correct perspective and angle very easily. It's just a technique.

I never said it would be bad, or somehting like this. It's just, as I saw the Picture, I don't think there was a model.
And ... easy ... yes, if the drawer CAN model, than it's easy, maybe

Iβm actually glad that you couldnβt tell there was a base model used. Itβs not supposed to be obvious.
π: 0 β©: 0
it is still a whole drawing? lol don't be dense. she uses the model here, yes, but it's used expertly and she still paints over and on top of it to complete the illustration.
don't make it seem like her using a 3D model takes away from the craft of this.

I,ve never sene a picture that used a 3D model

You likely have... It's done very often now, (manga, graphic novels, and book covers) and you would not know if the artist didn't show the process like this.

Thank you so much for adding this!Β Very helpful information

No problem! Hope you find it useful!

Oooh! I was wondering how you worked with a 3D model and turned it into 2D! I think this is the first time I've seen this!

*makes a completely perfect 3D model* "This is... not a good model." like ya dont see newbies making models like that bruh u gotta like ur own art more
π: 0 β©: 2
Of course it depends on what it will be used for, like here where it's only used as a base and going to be painted over, but I must agree with sandara that the model's not that good...
The final piece is a whole other matter though, really cool!

Haha, a lot of my friends and colleagues are modellers and all of my students are way more proficient in 3d than I am. I guess that's why.

Thank you so much for making this, it's really helpful! <3

So you always use 3d stuff to make drawings? This is a very cool concept o3o
π: 0 β©: 1
No, I havenβt done it in ages. Thought to give it a try again.

Oh that's really curious! It's really interesting to see this kind of technique. Thank you for sharing
