Handpainted Alchemist's Book

Hi! I'm excited to share my first handpainted stuff: The Alchemist's Book!
.
This project is my very first 3D asset with a handpainted texture, and it was a great opportunity to experiment with new techniques and new software like 3DCoat.
.
The mesh was modeled in 3DS Max, and sculpted in ZBrush. Then, the color base was made in Substance 3D Painter, and the handpainting in 3DCoat. Finally, I used Marmoset Toolbag for the rendering.
.
I still have a lot to learn about handpainting, but one thing's for sure, I absolutely love this art style! And I'm looking forward to continue to explore the subject and continue improving.
