Wow... this is... disappointing...

 I've completed a panel with the Mad Hatter in the 2D style and... boy... does he look boooring...


The overall body proportions are OK, the stray jacket turned out well... but he does not look menacing

Probably due to the low detail style or maybe it's the angle or the pose I don't know...

To be honest he reminds me of Elmer Fudd...

The 3D female version didn't look menacing either but then it was not supposed to.

And not to mention it took a lot of time to draw him, I don't mind spending time working on a character but I want to see some good results. 

Don't think I'll go through with the 2D-3D hybrid idea to full extend.

I'll stick with the idea of turning all characters that I can in to 3D, at least that way I'll just work once the character.

 

TLDR

The poor results don't compensate the time spent. I'll go 2D if and only if I loose the character database. And I will focus more on what I've always been somewhat good at, that 3D backgrounds and props.


P.S.

Sorry Gelmintator, but you did gave me a very "interesting" idea for the next chapter ;)

 

Cheers.

    Dude, everything good :-) You are the author, you are in command of the plot!

    And the Mad Hatter character looks not so much menacing as grotesque. Only his complexion is strange, something is wrong, in my opinion, he looks as if he has severe pancreatitis.
    If we look at the overall design - he’s probably not bad as a Psycho :-)))

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
