Possibility for the Library to go back to 2D Characters

 I know, I know...


I've been going back and forth on The Library's style for more than a year.

I have a strange way of working.... Most people (if I'm not mistaken) create a story and the express that story in an art style/art form. I do the opposite, I choose a style and create a story for it.

 

But I digress...

One of the main reason for this is to help The Railroad. The 3D character from the Library were originally designed for The Railroad as an upgrade from the old outdated character models.

 

So what is the problem?

The problem is:

- for the Library I have a story with 2D characters but not with 3D characters.

- for the Railroad I have a story with the upgraded characters but not with the old ones


I've tried using the current characters with the old ideas but it simply does not work. I don't know why... well I know why... I don't like how it looks (Death's horse model looks horrible and she's not the only one, Callie's model also does not look good).

The solution?

Well... The Library will go back to it's 2D characters after Katya finishes her story. 

The previous pages will be transformed to 2D but it's going to take some time.

On the plus side, I do have some old 2D pages already completed so technically I am covered for a while.

The Railroad will get the upgraded 3D characters that I originally planned.

As for time? Well... think I'm going to give up an whole scheduling thing and post when I can.


P.S.

Over time I may change my idea again, I hope not

P.S.S.

While we're on the subject of character update, I'm thinking of updating Volna and Amaya from F-y-T, but I'm not 100% sure.

Hey there, welcome to my… blog site… thing Anyway, I’ve decided to make a central news site/blog regarding my work, this is mostly because it's a little difficult and annoying to post the same thing on several sites. I will try and keep this alive as much as possible, and even think of posting status updates at least once a week. I know about the other sites like X or Meta or whatever but I’m too lazy to make an account there, and I don’t think everybody has accounts on all sites. I don’t know how people bookmark thinks, everybody has their own way. So, “what's the blog going to contain?” I don’t hear you not asking… Well… news like: “Hey, comic X is on hold because of Y” or “How does this character look” or “I quit, bye bye…” or just randomly yelling into the void XD I am not going to post pages or things like that. Rules for commenting: Like on my comic sites, Anonymous comments are allowed. You even have the option to input a name (like on comicfury). I think most people

All comics are on scheduel and beyond

 So I finally manage to complete all pages for The Railroad's FyT part. I've decided to bulk upload them on Dec 1st, since it was getting annoying to have to post a page at the current date then change the time to the original date that is was supposed to be posted (because, from what I've heard, the site sends notifications to subscriber for the set date when uploading and not that there is an update, confusing I know... in short subscribers where not getting notifications) But don't worry, I have enough pages on standby so I'll wont get behind schedule (I hope)

The price of the Library

 After analyzing the list of character styles I've noticed that fanfiction characters are the ones that will be mostly in the 2D style. So.... I think I'm back where I started, as in pages will take a lot more time to make especially when I'll have scenes with fanfiction characters, and there are a lot... I'm starting to think that the transition to 3D was a waste of time and should have stuck with full 2D, but I'm tiered of always redoing the same thing over and over again. Buuuut... on the positive side, this 3D-2D hybrid style will help me a lot with "crowd characters", as in characters that are mostly there to populate the world. As an example, I've used this method with the russian android army, all the soldiers were 3D cell shaded. Sadly this method does not look to good on "biological" characters (humans, animals, creatures), but now with this hybrid style I can make the world a bit more populated more easily. Now... the price of all o
