Too perfect for a comic image?

Although the flattened image and the shaders were not ideal at all for comic post work. Plus for comic post work it should be a higher res image...

Anyway, on to other things.

Speaking of super hero outfits, not looking forward really to having to fix up the Supergirl outfit I have. I'll probably just mostly weld and sculpt for image stuff full body. Haven't gotten to that stage yet. I'm also seeing that I have a distinct lack of rubble and scenes of destruction in my runtimes... time to scour freebie models I guess.

Yeah, Poser has a toon shader you can apply to the figure. I don't know how well it works because I don't do toon. I started trying it out in Poser 9, but lost interest.

It works well, BB had some interesting threads about toon shading. I'd be inclined to use multiple preview renders and the built in comic render style options. And photoshop. At least that's how I typically do it. The line weight is a bit dead but there's tricks to spice it up a bit. Multiple passes and multiply and judicious erasing and compositing helps. You have to render very large for the line work to not be all aliased, which is why my above example looks... aliased. 

And thanks for the rubble advice. I got some decent things off turbosquid. I'll check out the MortemVetus suggestion too. One of the MortemVetus folks (I believe it's more than one person) was very nice to me at RDNA, pleasant chap. I like their work. 

I'm in the midst of thinking of ways to fix up her suit a bit. A better skirt, better cape. I think I'm going to use the V4 body suit for the main bodice/leotard. I might have to do some frankensteining, or create my own, for the logo. We'll see. Plus I need to make her body, I have some ideas there.

Thanks again rokket. I'll post one more image, her frown, and then not post anything for a while so as not to derail your stuff. I'll comment though.
