Hi there Mister Shah,
( )fabulous series:)
the UV part is very concise and i’m sure it will help other users very much, the same as it helped me. Also the intro on texture paint in blender, baking the Ao map in advance and taking it into the gimp for the diffuse texture is very informative. I will use your advice wisely and have to say I’m very grateful for that tutorial!
Thanks a lot and best regards from Berlin!

Hey thank you so much!!
I’ve been looking for this since i get to use blender for the first time.
Sure there is some character tutorials , but no one about the manga/anime style.
This is awesome, as it helps on every aspect of creating the model to texturing.
Hope that an rigging / animating part comes out too, but thanks again for this one!
