Super Saiyan 4 Goku | Digital Illustration

Posted Apr 4, 2026

Project Overview: A high-fidelity digital illustration capturing the raw intensity of the Super Saiyan 4 transformation. This project highlights a multi-app mobile workflow, focusing on atmospheric world-building and dynamic lighting. ​The Workflow: ​Asset & Environment Creation (PENUP): Every element of the composition—including the shattered terrain, floating debris, and the lightning-streaked sky—was hand-drawn from scratch. I focused on using atmospheric perspective to create depth between the character and the distant, hazy cityscape. ​Technical Polishing & Mastering (Ibis Paint X): The core artwork was imported for final post-processing. I utilized advanced layering and blending modes (Add/Overlay) to refine the "glow" of the aura and ensure the highlights on the character's fur matched the environmental light sources. ​Technical Skills Demonstrated: ​Hand-drawn environment design ​Layer management and non-destructive editing ​Advanced lighting and color grading ​Character rendering and cel-shading
