Take a look at this cute artwork depicting Stitch, which was created by 3D Character Artist Joshua C. Hermanto, also known as Aerylus.
The artist shared two versions of the image – with and without lineart. The version without dark contour looks more subtle and soft, while the image with the lines added appears to be more contrasty and closer to the original cartoon style.
The creator explained that the lineart is a 3D that flipped inward, creating the illusion of a lineart look. Rendering was completed inside the ZBrush viewport with flat material, and the coloring is hand-painted.
