Quote - I've experimented with doing comics/stories with Poser/DS

I want to do my comic in one day but for some reason the pics i make for my comic look plain , they dont look like others do it where it's a picture but it looks as if the characters are alive.

Any techniques for creating great pics for comics/stories that look alive?

Maybe i'm not doing good lighting, is that what my problem is?

Here's a pic from one attempt i made.
Notice that it looks plastic and it doesn't look like the characters come alive

The problem is that I don't understand what's going on here and what am I as a viewer supposed to pay attention to. Also, I can't figure out what the girl is doing in this picture, it seems that there's something wrong with either her pose or camera angle.

Honestly though, this is exactly the kind of result you can expect from creating full comic in one day. Just focus on the story and posing at this point - there's no way you can reach any kind of decent result in such a short time.
