P Torinno - Salt Tears
Next up is P Torinno's "Salt Tears" an environment piece shining by its use of colors and by the artist's great modeling work on the ships and the island in the distance. The island's topology is stylized to perfectly match the illustration look the artist was aiming for, with them painting over the 3D render to finish up the scene.

Nastya Zhilan - Butcher
Next up is Nastya Zhilan's "Butcher" a beautiful mechanical pastiche. Based on a concept by Longque Chen, the "Butcher" character was modeled entirely in Blender, with the texturing being done in 3D Coat. The stylized texture work and clean colorwork give the final model an incredibly sharp and readable feel, one that can be explored thoroughly in the Sketchfab player above.
