I've been experimenting with ways to make renders look a bit more pictoric and interesting. I am trying here an oil paint effect I saw in a tutorial mixed with some Clip Studio Paint effects.
I actually liked the result, especially in the tentacles and hair. I used a similar effect to add more detail to the painted Coliseum background in the Darius reward.
Uncompressed version as attachment.
UPDATE: Included a transparent background version.
