I enjoy creating artwork in Poser, Photoshop CC, Vue, and DAZ Studio. I also have a passion for photography, and have been actively shooting for many years. I've been using Poser since Version 8, and am also learning my way around DAZ Studio. I've been using Adobe Photoshop since version 4. I also use Vue 10. I frequently use my photos as backgrounds, and composite my 3D figures into them.
I have been creating my web comic / graphic novel "The Girls From T.N.A." since fall of 2009, and have been a member of Renderosity since August 2009. I've made a lot of wonderful friends here, and have been inspired every time I visit!
I will soon have a more complete biography, as I am updating everything. In the meantime, have a look around my gallery!
Thanks!
Rod

Comic Sans walks into a bar. The bartender shakes his head and says "We don't serve your type here." (boom da tiss) (The girls are cute and the rebel background is sparkly):D

Comic sans has always been one of my choices.
They can show up at my nightclub if I had one. Both are beautiful and your render is tops. Rebel Yell!!

One of the most over-used fonts in history! The other two being Times New Roman and Helvetica, neither of which I like using because of their over-exposure. I don't know how many of the male members will notice the font though...

The type I like has feet, much like these lovelies =)

Rod, you did a nice job in making your point in such a fun and creative way.

I'm one of those that over used it - still think it looks, great especially here!!!
Richardphotos
they are gorgeous and superb composition

I agree with the two lovely ladies. There's nothing wrong with Comic Sans, especially for comics!

You did a great job on creating such a wonderful image with those beautiful looking girls Rod.

You should make your own font, something unique that would set your comic at a whole new level.

Hmmmm…… Interesting idea there.... 🤔😉

A font of puns here (groan)...If you can get a bunch of puns for one upload, you're doing great!
Well....I never thought I'd see a tribute to Comic Sans! Not because it isn't a great typeface---it is---but because ya just don't see tributes to fonts these days! On your art, Acacia and Alyssa---you did a pro job once more of making classic pinups: They're in dance poses, they look great, Acacia leans against a wall, in a classic leaning pose, that semi-shining white looks great, the contrasts with those blacks are great, and your background is a star studded affair, reminiscent of the disco era (flashing lights), your floor colors are warm and rich---ol' Comic Sans never had it so professional, sexy or zazzy...Also, you handle wrinkles beautifully...the shirts are so believable: great job. You returned sexiness to a typeface!
Now, a word on poor Comic Sans. (You gotta go along, I was forced to study this stuff years ago, so you'll have to suffer through this...) You no doubt know this, but CSans was designed by Microsoft, to imitate, as you say, the wonderful hand-written fonts of cartoons. And yes, it's been overused. But so is Times---the main newspaper font---and it's still being used...Is it inappropriate to use CSans for serious text? Well, in orthodox circles, yes: It kind of undercuts legal documents (imagine the Constitution in Comic Sans!). But it's a classic: I mean think of it: A tiny angle on the verticals of an "m", and you have a "silly" font: It looks like the "m" is giggling. The small "a" has a tiny curve on its vertical: It's 'giggling'. Tiny additions---and you have a comic font. With TNA, I remember a more rounded font in your TNA captions (yes? a very classy face, w/ rounded "m"s and "n"s, and beautiful rounded "a"s...I'll have to look; but while these are minuscule points for most of us, those little design-quirks are the whole world for a designer. So you're returning to Comic Sans? Bravo. It's one of the most readable fonts of recent years...Do people realize how long designers slaved to make a classic typeface? I mean really, a single typeface could take 2 or 3 years! You probably knew that, but many don't. It's impossible to conceive putting in that much time into 24 little letters (and additions). Those designers poured over a letter like monks poured over a letter in the Middle Ages...a letter was like prayer to them, just one "D" or "T". And the modern typefaces then had to be transferred to lead ("font" is from the same root as "foundry"---where they make lead for print). Then they had to apply it to every point-size, italic, bold, etc etc---stuff we do with a mere flick of the wrist---and finally you had a finished typeface. And I mean those typefaces had the same proportion and balance as you or I work for in an image...for them, each line was a work of art, each serif had its own 'expression'. When digital took over, the same principles applied, only no 'lead'. (Remember Fontographer?) So, to the designer of Comic Sans, kudos. It was overused because it was classic. And if you return it to your captions, you'll have my support. (Though I love that rounded font you used too...)
Ok, I'm done. You want a bad pun? "Can I have acacia comic sans?" "I can't sell you one, but alyssa one") (not worth the time, believe me...) Love your upload.

"I can't sell you one, but alyssa one" groooooaaaaaaaannnnnnn.. 😄😆
I'm using Bauhaus Rounded for the main TNA story (and will continue to use it there) as - like you - I like the rounded look of the characters and it flows nicely and is easy to read.
I have to agree about CS - if it wasn't such a classic font, it wouldn't have been overused.

EXCELLENT MY FRIEND

I like Anime Ace much better than Comic San. Check out Bambot fonts (https://blambot.com/ ) under resources, they have everthing you’d want to know about comic book lettering.

Thanks, John! I'll check them out and see what they've got.

Fun poses and idea. I didn't really notice the shirts, I was more interested in the seamless, straight, and non-wrinkled lace stockings... getting those on is a feat!
RodS Online Now!
Thanks, Barb! Yeah, stockings can be a real challenge to fit. I've developed a bit of a technique using the morph brush in Poser - sounds like it might be a good subject for a tutorial.... 😉

I am rather fond of Comic Sans. The girls sure wear it well. Fantastic job!
TwiztidKidd
I vote for Comic Sans to be the National font and to be on all govt buildings and forms. I really enjoy your work, my friend.
Darkglass
Yeah i will second that, its a national foundation.......wow comic sans 1994 typeface......great image.....lovely characters, top work as always.....!!

Nicely crated, fun scene, Rod...The girls are great and do like your snazzy background...I always liked Comic Sans, but it fell out of favor, not de rigueur, and understandably not for business. At this point in my life, for all I care (which ain't much), folks can use one of those children's fonts...

Beautiful!
