Painterly 3D Style with Claudiu Tanasie | Pixel Peeps | Episode 21

In this episode of Pixel Peeps, I sit down with character artist and art director Claudiu Tanasie to break down his striking painterly 3D style. We take a deep dive into his piece Broken Faith, exploring how he blends sculptural brushwork, stylized textures, and experimental rendering techniques to create characters that feel like living illustrations. Claudiu shares insights into his workflow—from simplifying scan data and sculpting expressive forms, to building complex hair systems with XGen and pushing Arnold far beyond its typical use. We also talk about the bigger picture: developing a personal style, why great work often looks effortless (but isn’t), and how personal projects can shape your career more than client work ever could. If you’ve ever wondered how to stand out as an artist—or how to make 3D feel more like painting—this one’s for you.
