The Railroad - Character Upgrade - Famine

Image
  And now, all the sisters of the apocalypse are updated with the new models. I do admit the new Famine looks a bit creepy that the old one, but the problem was that the old version was not creepy enough. So I thinks this is the last character upgrade presentation for the Railroad, the rest of the characters are easily recognizable and other already use a more advanced model.

The Railroad - Character Upgrade - Captain Zara

 Now, I don't know how many of you remember captain Zara, or even know who she is by name. Zara is the captain of the Potemkin Battleship, she along side the Red Army saved Lenin from Bastet at the Eternal Pyramid.

Callie 3D version

 Hi... I don't normally ask these types of questions, but this time I'm going to make an exception.  So, in case I have to continue to use 3D characters for the Library this will be the model I will use for Callie:     Side note, the images are raw renders so some problems with the model are visible. Now considering that this is the favorite for some... I will be asking.... What do you think? Is it OK, do I need to make any changes? Don't know if I can but I'll try... If you consider that... well... it ruins the character I can do one of the followings: Remove the character completely or at the very least create a new character using this model. Postpone Callie's reappearance until I return to 2D if you don't like the 3D version. My personal opinion is that... it's OK... it's not great but it's not terrible, but I don't know if it's "Callie" enough for the fans... if you understand what I am saying.    Leave your opinions in the com

2D drawings and anything that is releated with "drawing" will be on hold

There are some problems with my drawing tablet so until I can get a new one all my "traditional" drawings will be on hold. In case you're wandering: 1. there is a "dead" horizontal line in the middle, as in the pen is not detected 2. the pen is not detected when hovering 3. and the new addition is that now when I move de pen without touching the table from one point to another the tablet will connect the two dots with a straight line. Soooo... al these are really starting to annoy me. I think I've mentioned some of these problems before but I'm not entirely sure. But since I don't want to end up behind, especially with the Library, I will keep the 3D style and continue with what I have.   Sorry 2D fans :(

What's next...

Now that the Railroad is back with a new fresh story and character designs, I'm the process of reverting all 3D characters from the Library to 2D. Most if not all 3D characters I've made for the Library will be moved to The Railroad and F-y-T. The Railroad will soon resume ( I hope) and after a while (a month or so) F-y-T will resume as well. It's going to take some time for the Library to resume as well. For now there will only be page updates.

F-y-T page update

 Pages 120 to 132 have been updated with the new character designs for Katya and Pestilence, alongside with the new background. I've decided to change reception area for the Gorgon Springs to the new design since the old one will be used in The Library (page updates are in progress for the Library) When I first used the first version (the one from the Library) it caused some confusion and some thought that both comics take place in the same universe)

The Railroad - Character Upgrade - Pestilence

Image
  To be hones, I like how the new Pestilence looks, it's a lot more similar to the one from The Library (if she were human). The OLD version of Pestilence was inspired from Silvia, the green skinned elf from the Library. I know about the bio-hazard symbol, but I think the black cross looks better.

The Railroad - Character Upgrade - Katya

Image
 Since Katya and Pestilence appear in F-y-T as well, as minor character, I'm making their character upgrades a little early. Now some may already know the new model that I will use for Katya from The Library I don't if it's noticeable, but the OLD version of Katya actually has the same texture/material I use for Amaya.

F-y-t - Character upgrade - Mesa

Image
With time I upgrade my character designs, this is mostly because of more advanced rendering techniques that don't work with old models or textures very well, at least not with all, there are some exceptions such as Silvie, Amaya, Volna... So the first character undergoing this change will be Mesa. Hope you like her new design, I for one consider it an improvement. I've decided to change to a more human body texture (similar to the one form the Library add hair it is not shown in the image but I've kept the snake part for her lower body

Maintenece complete and changes

 So I've been trying to merge F-y-T with The Railroad, but story flows do not go to well together, so I'm going to keep them independent, for now. However for F-y-T I do need to fix the scene at the Gorgon springs since it uses the interior form the Library and this can cause some confusion. Even though the Railroad is a parallel universe to the Library I don't think it's a good ideas the same models. Both sites should work as normal. I've kept the merged site as well... just in case.

The Railroad and F-y-T official sites are under maintenece

I am temporarily shutting down The Railroad and F-Y-T. Sorry. Need to fix some problems.
