Study project: The Fisherman. A short clip fully made in #Blender 3D workflow and painterly 2D look. I wanted to test the integration of hand-drawn #2Danimation on twos with procedural #3Danimation, blending 2D and 3D shading with compositing, and see if everything could be done with Blender.

Chasing motion, rhythm and readability. A work-in-progress action sequence from Bravaeria, currently midway between rough pencils and finished inks. #graphicnovel #bd

Working on the layouts for my upcoming graphic novel. Layouts are the most demanding: thinking, trial, errors, yet they produce the worst-looking result. Digital pencils mix sketching and photobashing. Inks have the best looks, but are easy and relaxing. Colors will be painted by a fellow colorist.

Just wrapped up the course Blender for Environment Design for ABAUD. Starting from #Blender basics, we explored modeling, materials, texturing, asset management, lighting, and animation fundamentals—all applied to digital #environments. Now I'm looking forward to what the students will create next.

Work in progress on a single, dense panel. Five knights clash on horseback. Steel, muscle, and motion. Halfway between pencil and ink. Many hours for one image, carving chaos into something readable. #Comics #GraphicNovel #Fantasy #WorkInProgress #ComicArt #SequentialArt #MedievalFantasy #WIP

I’ve been quiet on socials for some time, enjoying a bit of distance. Just started a new comic project with the amazing #Corbeyran for #Oxymore, and these images are the first sneak peek. Yes, it’s a medieval fantasy. And yes: there are horses. 🐎 #Comics #GraphicNovel #WIP #Illustration #Fantasy

Work in progress on my new book, "Bestial" vol. 2! Written by the master, Corbeyran. This scene is... energetic. 😉 Confetti could have been a brush, but no: to get them just right, I took Blender to build a quick particle system with Geometry Nodes. #comics #art #wip #b3d #ClipStudioPaint #Blender

I wanted a flock without keyframing every single bird. Here I made an automatic flock setup in #Blender Geometry Nodes. Quick and easy, many controls from a gentle flock to a chaotic swarm. Birds are #greasepencil animated frame by frame. #b3d #Animation #BlenderCommunity #GeometryNodes

I've turned one of Blender's most boring (and somewhat impossible) processes into one click. Find GP Transfer Weights on GitHub or support me on Superhive! superhivemarket.com/products/gp-... . github.com/luca-malisan... . #blenderaddon #b3d #greasepencil #technicalartist

Luca Malisan @malisan.it · 26/05/2025

#blender lacks a way to transfer weights from mesh to #greasepencil. I've developed an addon that does that. Now you can easily drive Grease Pencil strokes with an existing #3D animation. Draw on the rest pose or on the animated mesh, the addon will reposition the strokes. I'll publish it soon. #b3d
