I use a combination of Blender and Photoshop to create my artwork, doing simple models, lighting and colours in Blender and then adding all additional texture and details in Photoshop. I add animated details in After Effects and also sometimes use EbSynth* for some animated effects. 

I have a full process video available here if you want to watch me make an image from start to finish — it also includes a Blender file, a sketchbook page of ideas, and more.

*EbSynth uses a ‘texture synthesis’ technique, here’s a thread on how I use it. It doesn’t use generative AI, and neither do I in any of my artwork.
