Also just a handful of technical things I really like:
-Gradients that overlay on the screen, usually from the corners or top edge
- Direction edge lights on the characters
-Flat framing
-Bloom, generally only in the bg
-A lot of backlighting
-Very flat texture painting on char, more detail on bgs

Man, you nailed that aesthetic

Thanks so much, Mary!

Man, I wish I had a pair-a-dimes to rub together...

I’m looking to fill a few more commission slots, I’ll have a dedicated post to that soon but for now check out the pinned post on my profile for details!

I do 3d models of characters, outfits and props for things like VRchat, Vtubing, animation and game dev.

I should clarify, that’s a video from the awesome Jan van den Hemel. He does really good no fluff, easy to follow tutorials so he’s very worth a follow!

For what it's worth, I like Davinci Resolve a lot. My only problem with it was like 60-70% of basic effects I wanted to use were under the paid version. Finally shelled out for the paid version a little while ago which is a one-time purchase and now I have no complaints. Works great.

Lol yup, that is actually where it comes from!
