Hi Peter,
I really appreciate your comments and good advices. I would
definitely keep those good pointers in mind. Well, i would luv to
share my work with any Carrara users but unfortunately due to
classified reasons and a pact i had with my co-partner(editor) i
couldnt post any sequential art before the pitch, which would be
taking place on this coming November. Perhaps after the picth i'll
post it right away for viewing pleasure :D
Here's a human character design which would appear in the comic.
If anyone is interested to view it please feel free to click the
link below.
