Pepper Superstar Work in Progress
Do you remember the book Exotique 4, which has been featured in my past article? Well, now CGSociety have released an article where the author, Mario Wibisono, explains the work in progress of his amazing artwork.
Here you can find a description of the whole WIP, from the concept of the girl to the final colour touches. There’s also an animated painting progress.
ABOUT PEPPER: Pepper is a famous character created by the artist Stanley Lau (Artgerm). He represents her in all the possible drawing and illustration styles. She was born as an experiment of styles, and became a really popular girl in the illustration world.
Mario’s challenge was to “create a popular look, pretty and at the same time entertaining” of this girl. So he decided to represent her as a Japanese superstar, a cute but sexy girl.
