It all depends on what you're starting with, and what you want to end up with, and who your intended audience is going to be.
If...
-
You start with -- the sort of super-clean studio-model photos that such naff Photoshop filters and actions always use for their promos.
-
You end up with -- a sort of ersatz airbrushed 'made from a photo' Photoshopped look, perhaps even with kind-of half-decent ink lines.
-
And the audience is -- people who have never once looked inside a good comic-book in their lives.
Then... the audience will nod politely, even as regular comics readers cringe and fling the thing against the nearest wall.
If on the other hand...
-
You start with -- carefully de-grunged, toon re-textured, and Comic Book filtered and inked characters in Poser 11, rendered out as separate layers ready for recombination in Photoshop.
-
You end up with -- after much workflow-crafting, a repeatable and appealing result that 99.9% of comic-book readers can't tell came from 3D.
-
And the audience is -- not the super-critical 0.1% of graphics uber-professionals who will smell a rat.
Then... you can probably make a saleable comic that people will want to read and perhaps even cherish.
Learn the Secrets of Poser 11 and Line-art Filters.
LOL!!! I've always wondered about that ... How folks judge digital comics!! Thank you for that.
This is the sample from a $29 software package ... there is a similar plug-in for PS that costs $100 more ... Now ... I see anomalies in the hair, even in this ... but do you think this will pass?

Just wondering ... because I haven't found a good cartoonizer in Photoshop. The program Prima Cartoonizer (I won't show a link) shows some amazing results. I would like to see a technique to do this well in Photoshop. Is it possible?
