THE NEW FULL 2D CHARACTER VERSION OF THE WALLACHIAN LIBRARY IS NOW AVAILABLE!!!!


[author jumps out the window before the readers get the chance to grab him to throw him out the window themselves]



OK! So, some context.


Now that the official Library is with 3D characters as well it has entered the risk of database loss (be it HDD breakdown, model corruption, software incompatibility and all that technical stuff)

So I was thinking that I need a extreme emergency backup, so after doing some thinking I've reached the conclusion that the 2D characters have the least number o dependencies and risks.

 

Let me explain:

3D Characters rely on:

- a very large database (about 100 GB of models and textures that are interdependent of each other)

- a somewhat powerful PC

- compatibility between software and models

- all of the above rely on each other to work

2D Characters rely on:

- a very small database used only for reference and color (that can be recovered from previous pages)

- a graphics tablet that can be replaced (I've already changed 2 or 3)

- a simple 2D software that can be easily replaced

- uhm... me


In conclusion here is what I'll do:

Once a week, on Sunday (my time) I will post a page on the Library that has 2D characters only... however due to my strange method of working the 2D version will not be the same as the 3D one.

You see in my comics the story is adapted to the limitations that I have.

Take Death for example: 

In the 3D version her model has changed because the 3D models of horses that I have are not expressive enough for such a complex character and because of this change the story flow is changed as well.

In the 2D version she remains a horse.

So the main idea of the story is not changed and the character personalities are the same just how they look and how the story flows is changed.

Another change is that a chapter for the 2D version will consist of about 30 pages and they will be a lot more condense with about 1-3 panels.


Now... I am aware that this is super confusing and to be honest I don't quite recommend reading both versions and suggest you stick with the style you like the  most. But if you think you can handle both of them you can find it by searching TWL on comic fury. (I'm still keeping my no link policy)

 

The story flow change starts at Chapter 14, after page 751.

 

Cheers!

Ha-haaa... you can't catch me! I have cheats!

    It is a little confusing, indeed.
    But technical problems occurred with other authors as well. Maybe your are on a good path, if you can handle all that different versions in your brain. I stay turned and try to reread even the redone old pages, because I like your style very much. I try to think the different stories as what thy are: different stories.
    Hope I am no to confused.

Wilcomen!

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
