Making 3D Characters Look Like 2D

What makes 3D characters outstanding? Photorealistic results? An original idea?

What makes 3D characters outstanding? Photorealistic results? An original idea? Sometimes you can make your art stand out by adding a 2D style. Sounds crazy, right? Here’s an example. A 3D artist Miki Bencz took a concept by j.f shi and turned it into an amazing 3D model that looks like an illustration. 

Wanted to do something relaxing, and this is what I settled on.. I LOVED the illustration and wanted to capture it in 3D to the best of my ability…

The artist created this work with the help of 3ds Max, 3D-Coat and Photoshop. Take a detailed look at the final model with Sketchfab:

    Really cool! It only looks proper to me if viewed at the correct angle that the light was "painted on"
