I am a concept artist and illustrator from China. My primary work involves creating concept designs and promotional illustrations for games. I have been in this industry for 15 years and started incorporating 3D software into my workflow about 5-6 years ago to enhance my creative process.<h1>What led you to concept art and character design? Were there any artists or works that inspired you?</h1>After graduating, I went straight into the game industry as a concept artist. I’ve drawn inspiration from many different artists over the years, but there isn’t one particular artist who had a defining influence on me. Since I’ve worked on a variety of projects with different styles, I’ve found new inspirations at every stage of my career. Early on, I was greatly influenced by Craig Mullins while working on realistic projects. Growing up, I played a lot of Japanese games and watched anime and manga, which also left a deep impression on me. Artists like Katsuya Terada, Yoshitaka Amano, and manga creators like Takehiko Inoue and Rumiko Takahashi have all influenced my artistic style. My taste is quite eclectic.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202503/dded25398da64f8c8e439e848cba06b9/images/5d482a5942694df688af72b5aa16cb78CM%20%E4%BD%9C%E5%93%81%E5%90%88%E9%9B%86gif.gif" alt="5d482a5942694df688af72b5aa16cb78" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="5d482a5942694df688af72b5aa16cb78" data-width="640" data-height="852">Artist: Craig Mullins<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202503/dded25398da64f8c8e439e848cba06b9/images/106aa07a17e94d84a2283f8feab0dbd0%E5%AF%BA%E7%94%B0%E5%85%8B%E4%B9%9F1.jpg" alt="106aa07a17e94d84a2283f8feab0dbd0" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="106aa07a17e94d84a2283f8feab0dbd0" data-width="844" data-height="844">Artist: Katsuya Terada<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202503/dded25398da64f8c8e439e848cba06b9/images/69eb7e606698484d9524936f2981fd8b%E5%A4%A9%E9%87%8E%E5%96%9C%E5%AD%9D1.jpg" alt="69eb7e606698484d9524936f2981fd8b" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="69eb7e606698484d9524936f2981fd8b" data-width="770" data-height="380">Artist: Yoshitaka Amano<h1 style="text-align: left">Your worldbuilding for The Scent is fascinating! What inspired it, and how would you describe its setting and artistic vision?</h1>A few years ago, I became passionate about collecting perfumes and exploring different scents. Last year, I finally had some free time and decided to build a world around the theme of “fragrance.” Over time, as I continued creating, the story naturally evolved and became more refined.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202503/dded25398da64f8c8e439e848cba06b9/images/118da70db2364902a28ac039b74f76a3final-22%20%281%29.jpg" alt="118da70db2364902a28ac039b74f76a3" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="118da70db2364902a28ac039b74f76a3" data-width="3840" data-height="5760">The story revolves around a perfumer who uses scents to heal emotional wounds. Each character embodies a unique fragrance, representing a particular emotion. Visually, I wanted to create a sense of vintage opulence. The aesthetic is inspired by the late 19th century, a period that blends the elegance of Art Nouveau with the structured forms of Art Deco. Since different fragrances originate from various places, the design incorporates diverse cultural influences, making for a richly layered visual experience.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202503/dded25398da64f8c8e439e848cba06b9/images/0725a55152a44170bb18cacdbad06a11final.jpg" alt="0725a55152a44170bb18cacdbad06a11" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="0725a55152a44170bb18cacdbad06a11" data-width="3840" data-height="2560"><h1 style="text-align: left">What software and tools do you mainly use in your workflow?</h1>I primarily work with Blender, Daz Studio, Marvelous Designer, and Photoshop.<h1>Your creative process is based on 3D modeling before bringing the work into Photoshop for painting. What led you to adopt this workflow?</h1>&nbsp;I initially adopted this workflow to improve efficiency and image quality. Over time, I’ve realized that 3D-assisted illustration brings several key benefits:<ol><li>Faster workflow – In commercial projects, recurring characters and props can be reused across different scenes, making the process much more efficient.</li><li>Better realism – 3D rendering provides accurate lighting, depth, material reflections, and textures that would be difficult to replicate with pure hand-drawing.</li><li>More flexibility – With 3D, I can adjust camera angles and lighting at any stage. In contrast, 2D workflows tend to be more linear—once the composition, lighting, and colors are set, making big changes later is often impractical.</li></ol><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202503/dded25398da64f8c8e439e848cba06b9/images/04c0bb2494164f55b72d2b0936b8f1dfimg_v3_02k1_df28d569-496c-4603-8f07-7251f105c8cg.jpg" alt="04c0bb2494164f55b72d2b0936b8f1df" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="04c0bb2494164f55b72d2b0936b8f1df" data-width="3837" data-height="2060"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202503/dded25398da64f8c8e439e848cba06b9/images/2ef8a55081fd42bd968205172726b3d1img_v3_02k1_599edcff-2748-4e3d-afec-761d9888479g.jpg" alt="2ef8a55081fd42bd968205172726b3d1" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="2ef8a55081fd42bd968205172726b3d1" data-width="3839" data-height="2062"><h1>When designing character garments in Marvelous Designer, which aspects or features do you focus on the most?</h1>I primarily focus on accurate fabric simulation, which is why I mainly use the 2D pattern-making tools and basic animation features to refine my designs.<h1>Could you share a specific example of how Marvelous Designer played a key role in your creative process?</h1>In The Mastic, about one-quarter of the scene is dedicated to fabric details, which play a crucial role in enhancing the composition. The folds and drapery not only complement the character but also help fill the scene naturally, creating a richer and more immersive atmosphere.Marvelous Designer’s ability to generate realistic fabric textures and movement brings an added level of authenticity to my work. It also softens the stiffness that can sometimes come with 3D-assisted creations. I see it as a visual and compositional mediator, seamlessly blending characters with their surroundings. The way fabric interacts with objects in the scene further enhances the character’s presence, making the world feel more alive.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202503/dded25398da64f8c8e439e848cba06b9/images/e4670ac912164810af9ab1ca607aef7fRuxiang3.jpg" alt="e4670ac912164810af9ab1ca607aef7f" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="e4670ac912164810af9ab1ca607aef7f" data-width="4500" data-height="6660"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202503/dded25398da64f8c8e439e848cba06b9/images/85f534f6839b44728e97cbdde0d20039img_v3_02k1_835cfbe5-e3ad-4760-982d-27b073a2aaeg.jpg" alt="85f534f6839b44728e97cbdde0d20039" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="85f534f6839b44728e97cbdde0d20039" data-width="3839" data-height="2065"><h1>&nbsp;Any practical tips for artists looking to use Marvelous Designer for concept character costume design?</h1>The best advice? Start using it right away. Marvelous Designer’s pattern-based approach helps artists understand how clothing actually fits and moves, which is essential for making designs more believable.That said, don’t rely entirely on raw 3D outputs—while simulations provide a strong foundation, they often need additional refinement. Shapes may lack structural clarity, so post-processing is key to achieving a polished final design.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202503/dded25398da64f8c8e439e848cba06b9/images/76a524a2ed044fb798d14a7d5acab3b1%E8%95%BE%E5%A7%86.png" alt="76a524a2ed044fb798d14a7d5acab3b1" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="76a524a2ed044fb798d14a7d5acab3b1" data-width="2048" data-height="1365"><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.artstation.com/melodyoflost">Artstation</a><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://space.bilibili.com/10178650">Bilibili</a><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.xiaohongshu.com/user/profile/61ca6e6100000000100065e4?xsec_token=ABvR5H1BwoNPsdmxYAAEhaoLj5ZZMSkmdaDhnxa12hJQc%3D&amp;xsec_source=pc_search">RedNote</a>

Hi there, I am having an issue when rendering my fabric where I am getting some distortion on the wrinkles as show below. The particle distance of the fabric is already 4mm. Is there anything else that could improve this? Thank you!<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202602/797d30dcef334c6891e016c24955c6dd/images/d5eb97001ccd458e9b2e737da64c7a34image.png" alt="d5eb97001ccd458e9b2e737da64c7a34" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="d5eb97001ccd458e9b2e737da64c7a34" data-width="623" data-height="855">

Could you share a bit about your latest work, 'Girl Student'?</h1>Hello, this is Bora Kim, and I'm delighted to be back. This time, the theme of my artwork is a girl sitting in a classroom after school. The idea began with a simple desire to create a character in a school uniform. I initially considered settings like a playground or park, but ultimately, I chose a classroom for its deeper sense of nostalgia and memories.<h1>I understand that you're currently working as a character modeler, and with each piece, the background and prop details seem to be becoming more intricate. As the backgrounds become more detailed, they also encourage viewers to imagine the story behind the character. I'm curious if this is an intentional approach—do you work with the idea of how you'd like the audience to imagine the character's story?</h1>I believe many people have experienced the quietness of school after classes, the sense of relief after a day's work, and the anticipation for tomorrow. I hope that when people view this artwork, they don't just focus on the character but also find themselves reminiscing about their own childhood or feeling a sense of connection through the background and small props.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/cc0033acedaa434fa1a41d1dfb90da93/images/b353d6ef0f8f4af18e7f6046f9f5e4f5%E5%A5%B3%E5%AD%A6%E7%94%9F4.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="b353d6ef0f8f4af18e7f6046f9f5e4f5" data-width="2857" data-height="1837"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/cc0033acedaa434fa1a41d1dfb90da93/images/2ec2fcfa6f67478fab250edb22915954%E5%A5%B3%E5%AD%A6%E7%94%9F2.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="2ec2fcfa6f67478fab250edb22915954" data-width="3840" data-height="2440"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/cc0033acedaa434fa1a41d1dfb90da93/images/a6c138ca9f1449cb8709a9b7d4645463%E5%A5%B3%E5%AD%A6%E7%94%9F3.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="a6c138ca9f1449cb8709a9b7d4645463" data-width="3544" data-height="1700"><h1>From the character to the background, which aspects did you focus on while working on each element?</h1>Since the character is a student, I wanted to convey a sense of unadorned innocence, so I focused on features like light makeup, a comfortable oversized hoodie, and a neat school uniform. For the background, I emphasized recreating elements based on relatable memories, such as the wooden floor, curtains, fluorescent lights, wall colors, and the marble beneath the windows.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/cc0033acedaa434fa1a41d1dfb90da93/images/219fa3f1a90e46b8acc731d4d7fab0db6.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="219fa3f1a90e46b8acc731d4d7fab0db" data-width="3898" data-height="4722"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/cc0033acedaa434fa1a41d1dfb90da93/images/01f177a557944b8580ff9f8b50e50862%E5%A5%B3%E5%AD%A6%E7%94%9F2.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="01f177a557944b8580ff9f8b50e50862" data-width="3840" data-height="2440"><h1>I'm curious to know which parts of your work were created using Marvelous Designer？</h1>I used Marvelous Designer for all aspects involving fabric, such as the character’s school uniform, ribbon, hoodie, hair tie, and even the clothes on the rabbit attached to the bag, as well as the curtains in the classroom. For the school uniform shirt, I started with a shirt from the Marvelous Designer library as the base, fitted it to the character's body, and then created and matched the vest and skirt. To form the pleats in the skirt, I drew lines for folds both inside and outside and adjusted the Fold Angle value to create the desired shape.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/cc0033acedaa434fa1a41d1dfb90da93/images/20798cdce0a64a1daf3689b4856ce3dc%E5%A5%B3%E5%AD%A6%E7%94%9F5.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="20798cdce0a64a1daf3689b4856ce3dc" data-width="2560" data-height="1399">The hoodie required creating a 2D pattern for the shoulders, arms, and underarms that was wider than expected to achieve the oversized fit. After completing the creation, I imported the rigged animation to set various poses. Finally, I fixed one side of the hoodie to drape off the shoulder, easing the restrictive feeling of the uniform.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/cc0033acedaa434fa1a41d1dfb90da93/images/f5167050129d4fdcb7099df763154d28%E5%A5%B3%E5%AD%A6%E7%94%9F6.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="f5167050129d4fdcb7099df763154d28" data-width="2560" data-height="1399">For the curtains in the background, I first created a rod that would act as the avatar, then hung the fabric on it. Adjusting the width of the curtains made it easier to form the pleats. After that, I used the Wind Controller to simulate the effect of the thin fabric fluttering in the breeze from the window. I set up the wind in the direction it would blow, adjusted the Strength to an appropriate value, and experimented with turbulence and frequency settings until I achieved the desired look.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/cc0033acedaa434fa1a41d1dfb90da93/images/b75fefe67437459a8b85af48edd18746%E5%A5%B3%E5%AD%A6%E7%94%9F8.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="b75fefe67437459a8b85af48edd18746" data-width="2560" data-height="1399">I also created and used various other simple props.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/cc0033acedaa434fa1a41d1dfb90da93/images/6a880c4f02024691b477d190fca8d62a10.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="6a880c4f02024691b477d190fca8d62a" data-width="2560" data-height="1399"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/cc0033acedaa434fa1a41d1dfb90da93/images/3fb19a6f94eb4f2d8a970637671d779012.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="3fb19a6f94eb4f2d8a970637671d7790" data-width="2560" data-height="1399"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/cc0033acedaa434fa1a41d1dfb90da93/images/8da9a9ec60e447969e664b1598d2d3d4%E5%A5%B3%E5%AD%A6%E7%94%9F7.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="8da9a9ec60e447969e664b1598d2d3d4" data-width="2560" data-height="1399"><h1>Did you find any unique advantages of using Marvelous Designer during this project?</h1>One of the major advantages of Marvelous Designer is its ability to quickly run simulations and adjust folds when the character takes different poses or when the clothing design changes. This flexibility in correcting and exporting the folds is a significant strength. Additionally, I found it convenient to obtain a cleaned-up low-poly mesh through the ZBrush plugin.<h1>If there was an impressive story during the project, could you share it?</h1>During this project, due to personal circumstances, the working period was extended. As the seasons changed, I adjusted the school uniform design from summer to autumn attire, eventually adding a hoodie. I also changed the hairstyle from a ponytail to a half-up style, and finally to a bob cut. Although the work seemed never-ending at times, step by step, it eventually came together. Even though I felt anxious as time passed, I gained valuable insights from the trial and error, making it a worthwhile experience.Thank you for your interest in my work and for taking the time to read this.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/cc0033acedaa434fa1a41d1dfb90da93/images/c348616f2aee45e1a5612921477f76c513.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="c348616f2aee45e1a5612921477f76c5" data-width="3840" data-height="2440"><h1>by&nbsp;Bora Kim <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.artstation.com/bbora">Artstation</a></h1>
