I've been having a short discussion with one of my readers, Gelmintator, he suggested I combine 3D and 2D characters, like having the
main characters in 3D and secondary characters in 2D.
I think this discussion was brought up before, but I was not sure back then.... anyway.
Now...
I don't have "main characters", I have an idea/story that has
characters in it, and my method is that a chapter(s) will focus on
specific character, then I move to another place and focus on other
characters.
But I digress...
Since some characters look good
in 2D but not in 3D and some look good in 3D but not in 2D, I will go
with Gelmintator's idea of combining the character that look the best in
that specific style (or in the style I'm capable of making them)
So, without further ado... here is the the list of witch character will be in what style an why:
Characters | Style | Comment |
The Grim Reaper | 2D | It's easier in 3D but, he's already 3D in the Railroad |
Katya | 3D | For the fans (I receive a lot of criticism about the nipples) |
Lenin | 3D | Looks badass in 3D as a Litch |
Strela | 3D | Though I don't know if she'll reappear
|
Death (Spider Lady) | 3D | She looks nice in 3D as a half spider and received positive feedback for her |
Stalin | 2D | I'm keeping the 2D hologram, don't know if I can mage a good 3D model |
Bastet | 2D | She is too cute in 2D and the 3D version is in the Railroad |
Kremlin Guards | Will try 3D | The would look a lot better in 3D since they are machines
|
Mother Nature | 2D | So I can keep the 6 arms design (it was unsuccessful in 3D and the model is not that impressive) |
Pestilence | 2D | I don't have enough expression for the horse 3D models, also I think pestilence looks cute in 2D |
Industry | Hahahaha |
|
Vlad | 3D | Surprisingly, he looks badass in 3D, compared to the 2D version |
Linux | TBD due to design change |
|
Medusa | 3D | Too many snakes |
Lucifer | 2D | More facial expressions |
Famine | Not sure |
|
Inferna | Not sure | Well see if she ever reappears |
Goebbels and Goering | 2D | Same reason as Lucifer, expressions |
Sibella | 2D | Her 3D model will be moved to the Railroad. She also appears there but I want to replace the model that I have there because it has some problems, especially with the hair (more severe than the one that was used in the Library)* |
Yuri | 2D | I really like the 2D version |
Nicolae | Not sure but 2D | I can't make the blindfold and a good Marksman variation and may not appear as often in order to design a 3D model |
Elena | Not sure but 2D | I can't make the blindfold and a good Marksman variation and may not appear as often in order to design a 3D model |
Sir Topham Hatt | 2D
| Very difficult to make in 3D |
Dr Killjoy | 2D | Both versions look good, but will go with 2D
|
Callie | 2D | I like drawing here, even though her hair is very difficult, the 3D model will be moved to the Railroad. |
Si | 3D | But may need a redesign
|
Ko | 3D | But may need a redesign |
Boris and Artyom | 2D | Model are already used in The Railroad and Almaz and I like the 2D versions |
Emily | 2D | There’s no way I can make her 3D and look good |
Medic | 2D | Very difficult to replicate him in 3D (will not used extracted models) |
Dr. Mario | 2D | Very difficult to replicate him in 3D (will not used extracted models) |
Gagarin | 2D | Looks awesome in 2D |
Laika | 2D | Same reason as Lucifer, more facial expressions |
“Everybody's favorite comrade” | 3D | He is impossible to draw and I don’t like the 2D version |
Silvia | 3D | But her design will change |
Lucia | 3D | No special reason, it’s just easier since I already have a model |
Iri | 3D | The 3D versions looks better |
Angels | Both | Will use different styles for angels |
War | 2D | Since it’s the only way I can make him the way I envision |
Sun Tzu | 3D | Going with 3D, there is nothing special about the 2D version |
Sam | 3D | Looks cool, even better than I envisioned him |
Alice | 3D 2D
| I was very disappointed when I first drew Alice, but I am happy that the 3D model turned out well
Even though I'm not that impressed by Alice's 2D design I will use it and move the model to the Railroad.*
|
Alice’s multiple personalities | Experimental phase |
|
Soo... this is it.
Will it work... I sure hope so.
It looks like I have more 2D characters than 3D.
Let me know what you think about the idea and the list.
* By the looks of it, fanfiction character are the ones the will be 2D + some that I cannot make a good 3D models. The 3D models that look good, such as Callie, Sibella, Alice... will be moved to the Railroad (probably with the same names and rolls)
Cheers!
