Been awhile since I updated this, so here goes.
I am a published journalist and role-playing game writer, and I've gone "pro" with my CG art over the last year or so as well. While I've been writing for about 20 years now, the art's still fairly new to me.
Most of the art you'll find is either of my own intellectual properties, or art I've created for other companies and clients.
I like "big" science fiction epics, RPG-related stuff, pin-up art and just plain good work of any kind.
I'm not here as much as I used to be, as the art aspect of this has grown from hobby to professional work, taking a good chunk of my time. But drop me a site mail and I'll get it if you have any questions.

I like the scene.

The villain seems to be the closest resembling a GN drawing. Nice work on him. The girl clearly looks rendered, as does the guard. Not sure how much you were going for, but it is a great attempt nonetheless.

Fantastic work, this does have the feel of a graphic novel. Your characters looks great!

It's a very nice scene. However, it doesn't really matter if you actually hand-drew this scene or if you modeled, posed, rendered, and then applied postwork. Other than being the artist, you are the "director" of the scene you are trying to create. The "look" of graphic novels have evolved from traditional to digital. You will still find both on the shelves and on people's websites. This scene could just as easily have a cartoon filter applied to it, and seasoned Photoshop users will recognize the techniques used. Non-users won't care what you did... they will just like it or not. A publisher will feel likewise and go with the flow of what's hot to publish, or what artist to sign. As far as the "rendering" goes, and to the crit above, if you chose to render at a higher resolution (such as 3000 pixels), we would be able to see the figures closer. Maybe some of us posters who are intimate to the geometry of the Michael, Victoria, and etc. generations might think "...oh... rendered!" But, there is a lot of fantastic postwork that can deceive and make one think it was truly painted or drawn like Boris Vallejo. I don't mean to say "deceive" in a bad way. It would be a preference or ability of the artist that is doing the executing. Haha... didn't mean to ramble!

My thoughts were similiar to pwilkin above, although, he stated them better than I could. Basically, I think you achieved what you wanted. However, I still prefer your more "rendered" style that you usually do to this sort of thing--although I don't dislike this style. It just isn't my preference. Might be interesting if you had given us both styles to compare.

Very cool, great effort, I like the effect.

Wonderful image - actually a true 2D image tends to either have little 3D 'feel', or far too much. Renders made 2D-ish tend to stick out because they have a "better" mix of the 3D. I like the 2D-ish AO/Toony textures just because I'm not trying to create photo-realism, and love the rich colors and shadowing they allow; they can become almost stained-glass window like.

Excellent job on the postwork! Also, the poses for all three characters are great!
