Commandos 2 redesign characters

Rendering of my favorite characters from the classic game Commandos 2. This project started from a series of old sketches that I’ve always wanted to revisit. My goal here was to capture a more traditional paint feel while working entirely in digital – focusing on visible brushstrokes, textured surfaces, and a slightly imperfect, hand–painted look.
I explored updated designs for the characters while staying faithful to their original personalities and silhouettes: strong shapes, clear reads, and a slightly nostalgic mood.
I treated this as both a fan redesign and a technical study: experimenting with edge control, color harmony, and lighting, and seeing how far I can push a painted look without losing the charm of the original Commandos 2 designs.
