How to make modern era Kaneko rendering

I use user-made CSP tools listed here :

- Lineart -> https://assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail?id=2060489 (Can use the brush used for coloring too. As long it's a textured pencil with high sensitivity. It'll works)

- Coloring -> https://assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail?id=1761353 - Blend -> https://assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail?id=1391024

- Scan Dot Effect -> https://assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail?id=1687175

- Color Filter -> https://assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail?id=1732272 (Set at clip layer > Difference)

Rendering tutorial below :

1. Prepare line art with rough textured pen. I used a pencil tool

2. Color in base. Idk I think Kaneko often starts from dark->light, but I too used with light->dark coloring.

3.) If you're coloring it light->dark like me. Slowly go from base color, to secondary, and put the darkest color on last. I use the pencil tool on my previous post

4.) blend the shading with watercolor tool. Be careful to not overblend it'll look glossy. Pull and push the color

5.) at this point, you might want to process the line art a bit.

Idk what tool Kaneko used for the lineart in this era, but it's super textured and "fades" when you put low pressure, like a real pencil.

Interestingly enough, his modern art style would ditch the textured pen(?)

6.) For the eye highlights, I used a white layer with "add" layer effect.

7.) Optional, but if you want the classic scan effect and color for parody/april fools project. You can use this filter from the user-made CSP filter list I posted above, set the folder to clipping layer -> difference + 50% opacity for the folder.

If you want to even add more, you can add the dot filter processing. For this pic I used 60 size dot because it's a small sized close up of an eye. For a gigantic pic you can use 10 or 15... Whatever you want

---

The result will look something like this. I think my lineart's too thick and I over-rendered too much on its clothes. If you learn from my failure, I think you can reproduce a parody of Kaneko's artwork, either for april fools purpose or maybe you wanna reverse engineer it into your own art style

If you're wondering why Kaneko's art style had a distinct porcelain doll look, you might want to refer to this post of Kaneko and possible inspiration from 80s animator Tomonori Kogawa

this is such old news to think about

but I am once again kind of mad that our choices for how do deal with the netherbrain amount to 1) siding with our manipulator-at-large (who secretly wants to dominate the brain for himself and has a unique bad ending), 2) save the gith equivalent of space jesus who wants to kill the brain and revive space colonization once the civil war between his people has ended, 3) side with the emperor but become a mind flayer (or let Karlach become a mind flayer) so that he doesn’t have a chance to use the Netherstones against you, and 4) let Gale go ka-blammy in the game’s most tragic sacrifice twist ever, which could potentially leave Orpheus alive as not a mindflayer if you play your cards right (but can also include having an Orpheus mind flayer, the Emperor still on your side, or you/Karlach as a mind flayer because you made that choice for some other, secret third reason)

like objectively speaking the “morally best” ending is to side with Orpheus and then kill both the Emperor on the brain and honor-kill Orpheus after he’s destroyed the brain, leaving you without your manipulator and leaving the gith empire to figure out a new way to move forward and leaving all your friends tentacle free with their souls intact

but they all kinda suck. I used to wish for a way to convince the Emperor and Orpheus to get along and work together for the Good of All but now idk, maybe it’s more interesting that all your options suck and you’re forced to figure out what is Least Bad for Your Specific Case
