Painting the Interdimensional Traveler - ZBrush Creature Design: Creating Dynamic Concept Imagery for Film and Games - page 326

Color, Overlay, and Multiply layers are used to build up color with normal layers adding highlight and
fleshing out the smaller anatomical details ( Figure 5-101 ) .
Now I cool off the image by giving it a bluish tint. This is accomplished by painting blue and green hues
into a layer set to Overlay blending mode. I also play with the saturation of different layers till I get what I
want. I'm using Overlay mode layers to add some orange highlight around the edges of his body plates to
add a crustacean-like look to the insect-like structure ( Figure 5-102 ) .
Figure 5-99: The background texture is applied in a separate layer to quickly help create contrast.
