    This has a nice look -- somewhere between toon and toys. I appreciate that you gave the different poses, some subtle some not, which really work for a bunch of people just waiting on a train. The one thing that doesn't work for me is the dual shadows on the fence. In reality, the sun would be casting a single shadow, so the second shadow (the one falling toward us) is a bit of a distraction. This is a minor point, though. I am definitely impressed with the clean linework you got in this render. Nicely done.

    Thanks. Yes, I have to check that dual shadows on the fence - it bother me, too.

    This looks amazing! I really like how clean the cell shading is!

    thankyou Mr mmitchell_houston ​ ;)

    looking forward to more of your work

    Thanks! Work has been crazzzy! I had a rush deadline for my work recently. Stuff that was originally scheduled for 5 days was suddenly needed in 3. Just the usual crazy stuff. I'm looking forward to sitting down and getting back to work on my comic.

    yes here too, lucky I finished all the work for my show a few months ago othersie I would have crashed and burned....

    this image my first go with the New fluid plugin for Carrara in action (free plugin) - didnt have much time for post work

    more data on plugin here https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/220631/fluidos-plugin-for-carrara/p1

    A npr render in Vue Complete I did a year or two ago. Car is a free Sketchup model of a 1953 Chevrolet low rider from 3DWarehouse.

    I watched this recording of a Smith-Micro webinar on Youtube. Artist Tasos Anastasiades show his technique for doing his comic books and graphic novels.

    He was influenced by Brian Haberlin's process...

    Art, classic cars, hot rods, comic books, art deco, era of Bettie Page pinup art....  all seem to go hand in hand... :-)

    Thanks kindly... I've not been doing much 3D lately as I'm still processing photos from summer past (car show, landscapes, scenes, etc)...

    Here's another free Sketchup model rendered a couple of years back in Vue Complete with Vue's npr option...

    Tom Fritz is one of my most favorite automotive/hot rod artists... IMHO what Frank Frazetta is to fantasy art, Tom is to car/hot rod art...He has a very loose painting style I would love to recreate in my 3D car renderings...

    Tom Fritz's website

     

    My feeble attempt to emulate Tom Fritz  using a photograph I took at a car show (2014 Atlantic Nationals, Moncton, New Brunswick Canada) and Lightroom CC (process raw photo), Photoshop CC and Topaz Studio Impression...

     

     

    Frazetta, Fritz and Norman Rockwell....three of my most favorite modern painters....

     

     

    Now when it comes to comic book artists I have many...

    Barry Windsor-Smith

    Moebius

    Jack Kirby

    Jim Starlin

    Dave Stevens (Rocketeer, Bettie Page)

    Paul Chadwick (Darkhorse's Concrete)

    Gil Kane

    John Buscema

    Will Eisner

    Richard Corben

    Virgil Finlay

    Are some of my favorites....

    Confront Your Demons

    IRAY Render, filtered in Topaz Studio with some post work in Photoshop and Clip Paint Studio.  This is a little more psychadelic than I usually do because it's suppose to represent the human psyche not reality.

    This is awesome.

    Thank you.  I would say this is my most artsy and meaningful renders.

    Very nice, looks like color pencils.

    Love the color choices for her clothing and hair.  Despite the fact that it looks like a drawing it has a sense of authenticity to it if that makes any sense.

    This really makes me want to sit down and binge on Warner Bro's cartoons.  Roadrunner and Bugs Bunny.  (thats a good thing by the way lol).  It definitely feels like that kind of cartoon image.

    This is a line render (my thing) plus a shading render run through Fotosketcher (nothing fancier than 'make everything flat white')

    I find that a good line render (whether 3dl or my thing or whatever), slightly blurred and applied lightly, can really enhance the detail that other purely filtering methods have trouble with.

    This was mostly a test to see how well I could get the lining to work on a lot of flat surfaces edge on to the camera, which is where many systems fall down.

    NICE! This method did a good job of maintaining the lines where they needed to go. Yes, there's a little blow-out on his hip, but as that's where a highlight would naturally fall, it's okay.

    This is gorgeous.

    @magicjava - thank you for the detailed tutorial/info re how to use the geoshell.  The images you posted were very helpful.  

    I made this image layering a GSO render and an iraytoon shader render.  I then fixed errors such as failure to put matts on the belt, lol.  Painted over a bit, and added a tiny bit of line art.  The rest is topaz filters.  The background is not mine.  My goal was to see whether I could achieve a manga style character with good outlining - which for the first time, I feel i did.  Because I was just playing around and testing, I didn't have a particular story or image idea in mind.  I regret that now because it would have been so much better with a real pose/storey behind it.  

      

     

    Even if you didn't have a set story for this, most people read their own story into what they see anyway.  so while you mig

    Carrara job - postwork in Nix and Topaz Impression - used a new plugin that converts Carrara hair to mesh which can then be used as replicator bases

    tratidionally some of us have used Carrara hair for grass

    image is 3000 wide if you feel like clicking

    Really great feeling of traditional painting and a very serene feel to it.

    Excellent use of Topaz on the hot rod.  Not feeble at all.

    Thank you!  I can remove it if it doesn't fit.

    No need to do that! But I did start a photorealistic thread so people can show off their photorealistic renders.

    There are two outline layers on a grayshaded layer passed through FilterForge's Crayon Master 2 filter.

    Head wax: pretty easily; you can render a distance canvas and then use that as a mask for certain layers.

    I actually did something along those lines in another image, where I masked the color layer and some detail over distance.

    (I'm not convinced the effect works well for this specific image, but the principle should work for other stuff, like less detail in the distance.)

    Yes, it adds context but doesnt take away from the focal point. I always add too much stuff to my images so it's something I am learning :)
