An interesting suggestion

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!
