Description
Here's a two-page spread I created as an illustration to liven up the Table of Contents for the Collectors' Club Newsletter. If you follow my gallery, the characters of Hatta Mari and Moon Wolf should seem familiar. They are based on V4 (with a lot of The Girl 4 mixed in) and the Lo-Rez Masked Hero by Predatron. Both outfits have custom textures applied. As before, this was rendered in Poser 11 Pro using its Live Comic Book Preview mode. I created multiple renders, some with them next to the fence, some without (gave me more control over the way light fell on their bodies). Renders were combined in Manga Studio 5 EX (lots of post work/clean-up). Texas was applied in InDesign, which is the program used to publish the CCN. This will be distributed in two way: color PDF and a b&w printed edition. I've checked, and it actually looks good in b&w. I'm not 100% happy with the sky, but I think I've got to call this one and just send it in. I already spent two days longer on it than I intended.

This is some of your best work - there's an entertaining image, skillfully composed and executed, which serves the demands of function. Absolutely outstanding.

Again -- thanks very much! This one took a lot of back and forth between Manga Studio and InDesign, as I kept having to adjust the "poster" regions so the text would fit. A lot of work, but worth it in the long run.

It's magic, although this is digital, it takes me back to old times, when a friend and meself were trying to do comics, pens, ink, fineliners. Here, I can almost smell the ink and feel the little room we always met to create our stories.
Or simply put: excellent! (see, I can walk that walk, too
)

I used to make small comics back in the 80s and 90s. Lots of fun working with other people. Of course, I was the writer because I can't draw anything "realistic" by hand (I have a decent toon style, though). I really was shooting for that 1980s vibe with this piece, and I do think I nailed it.
