Meet Maru
The style
To maintain a comic book feel, this project uses a post process shader to create comic dots in lit areas and hatching in shadow areas. This PP shader was made in blender using shader editor.
The textures are hand-painted in substance painter using different brushes, creating a different feeling in 3d.
Hair uses a unique hair shader that uses customizable gradient as its color.
The anatomy proportions are made to be similar to spiderverse and also from japanese comics.

humanity made up the way on the surface and built massive structures for them to live in.
the firestorms are one of the most dangerous phenomenons in this planet. Due to the lack of water underground and on majority of the surface they occur frequently.
The third city with a green radioactive star is habited by non-human intelligent beings who are evolved to withstand intense solar radiation.
