"Behold the man!" "Behold your King!" "Behold thy son. Behold thy mother."
Original mesh from a CC0 scan, edits and painterly work by me. Rendered in Eevee. No AI. No filters.
The flow of brushstrokes is procedurally determined via geometry nodes. Colored with simple vertex painting. Compositing and color grading within Blender, using the Render Raw add-on.
The statue mesh visibility is masked to remove backfaces. This reduces the number of brushstrokes (and therefore complexity) in the scene.
