Description

Zoom for best results. A more ambitious attempt at the toon approach, with the plan of adding some more pages to this sequence in due course. Images rendered with customised shaders in Poser with backgrounds created in Vue and Bryce. V3 figures with Shadow Dancer and SF Suit remix outfits, Sassy and Updo hair. Thunderbolt and alien ships, original models created in Hexagon. Image assembly in Photoshop and Illustrator. I'd like to dedicate this picture to Tom-Noddy, who I know is a big fan of this character. Thanks for looking, please critique.

Very nice comic style. Ships look great. If anything, Thunderbolt's color scheme looks better in this style.

I agree very much with geirla above. Also, I found the speeech balloons on the bottom right panel a bit confusing. You need to rearrange them so one can logically follow the conversation. Probably, it would have resolved itself (for me, at least) if the balloons had been round or oval instead of the convoluted shape they are. Their present shape suggests to the reader a speech pattern of A then B, then A again, then followed again by B, instead of the speech A followed by speech B. Hope I'm making sense. Anyway, it definitely disrupted the flow of the comic for this viewer. Overall, very well done, though.

Great work! I kinda like the 'non-comic' style a little better, but hey, I'll follow where ever it goes!

Man alive, you have the comic style down cold. I hope your pursue this as coupled with your ability to generate stories, create characters and even models, -- and now this -- you have the whole thing in hand. Excellent work.
