This is the image we will be working towards in this tutorial. There are three aspects of this tutorial that I will be explaining in some depth - but don't expect me to give ALL my secrets away. What I am doing is sort of a "recipe" tutorial - do this, that, and this other thing - but the recipe is not complete. You won't be able to duplicate this exactly just by doing the things i suggest in this tutorial.

I had intended to include a segment on setting up a figure in Poser, exporting it to Bryce, and rendering in that program. However, to be honest, that is too damn much like work. This is, after all, my first tutorial, and it already feels more ambitious than I might like.

Therefore, the image below the line is the base render of the piece above.

The Parts

This part of the tutorial concerns what others have called my watercolor look.

This minitutorial is a quick and dirty lesson in creating fake TV scanlines.

And finally, this segment of the tutorial discusses the shadowy "text"ure of the background.
