Heloo!

I'm looking for info, comments or suggestions.

Working on my first sci fi novel. It is a blast. I'm writing it for me, so I know I'll really like it. :P

I have been seeing a lot of graphic novels / comics posted, including Anomaly. (which is amazing, thanks to Boni for letting me know)

From what I saw, he created the images in poser, stripped the color out, and then "colored" them himself. I'm wondering why?

I've created a comic effect in PS using actions that I picked up here at Renderosity, and they look good, but not as good as a firefly render. I know the FF render is not "realistic" but the Firefly render is better than the comic book effect IMHO. Is this just a matter of taste? Are there comic/graphic novel rules that people just expect hand colored images?

I'm thinking of putting it out as a "picture novel" like my first kid's book, 1 pic per chapter. But, if people would prefer the story in Graphic Novel form as well, I know I would enjoy doing that even though it will take a long time to make all those images.

Anybody have experience in these areas? Do you prefer comic book effect in Poser vs. PhotoShop?
