That is a really awesome, unique character, my favorite of all the ones you've produced. I assume that is Apollo as well. Regarding what you said about this being the same postwork technique on all three renders, I expect the reason it looks so different in the first piece is because the character's skin is much darker - so I think the contrast to the lighting is what's making him look so different. I think you are on a very cool, unique track. Looking forward to more.

I just love this technique, looks like something out of GTA or a gangster movie. It quite rare that you see poser work that doesn't look like poser work, if i saw this in a random gallery i would believe it to be hand drawn. Great work, keep it up!

Thanks pjz99. Yes, this is again Apollo. I doubt I'll ever need to use another male Poser figure...he's incredible! Zhack - What a compliment! Just finishing up the final character morphs and fine tuning the postwork. Then it'll be on to some actual panels!

Great morph on the character. Excellent.

Ah, I see you found the art-button. Marvelous, Roy Liechtenstein eat your hart out!

I would not even have guessed that this is poser. Apollo is truely amazing, but so are your pictures. Great work.

Interesting! DPH

I really like this one very much :)

Very nice use of Poser!, Fantastic Image!,.CHEERs..

I can't wait to see where you go with this! Fantastic work!

Your characters have a lot of personality. Not only in this series, but also in previous pictures. That is excellent. I understand that this heavy postwork is key to your work and i understand your motivations (and i applaud them). My main reason for saying, in the previous images of this series, that i think this has too much postwork is that it may become hard to distinguish subtle nuances in the character's expressions, nuances that could be essential to fully understand the characters motivations and emotions inside the story. So, for covers, i think the images are just great as they are now but for the story itself i'm not so sure. But this depends a lot on the kind of plot you are making, so i may be completely wrong.

It is so refreshing to see some images that arent aimed at the 'realistic' look. Your characters all look so very unique - different from anybody else's work, and different from each other. Its hard to comment on their specific characteristics, since we know nothing about the story line and their role.(Sorry, I think this guy also has a bit of a smile! What's the matter with me?) Truly exciting work!

Wow, thankyou ArtPearl. Motivations will all become clear in due time. Of course, no graphic novel worth it's salt would be complete without a few twists here and there. :) I can say this much. The remaining character's names are: Pigeon, Zvekit, and Chibi. The names themselves are complimentary to their persona's, although a little cryptic in some instances. Rutra, don't worry. I realise if this precise post work were used for each panel of each page, very little detail would be seen. In fact, in many cases it may even be hard to distinguish between major and minor characters. At the moment consider this more a design direction than a hard and fast rule. :).

I like your style. This looks more like a posterised photo than a poser render. Hard to tell much about the character with this very stylised image, but he looks kind of like Dennis Hopper gone to seed! Very distinctive and not at all your die-cast Poser figure, so excellent work.

This is an incredible character. I think the consensus is that we love what you are doing here! I'd never have known that you hadn't done this with inks and zipatone if you hadn't told us otherwise. Great to see a male without that square jaw (jowel?) out of the pages of GQ.
