Starry Night Angel

The concept features the main character from my original story "Starry Night", a young angel whose small wings make reaching the stars a challenge. With the help of a magical mirror from a wise grandmother angel, she overcomes her limits and collects stars to earn her halo.
The 3D model was fully hand-painted in Substance Painter, including all textures and shadows, to achieve a stylized, 2D anime look. I combined hand-drawn outlines in Substance Painter with Blender’s Solidify modifier for larger outlines, creating a clear contour. A detailed breakdown of my 2D outline technique and Substance Painter workflow is included to show how I bring my own concept design into 3D while staying close to the original 2D style.
