Wayof making comics
Sep. 14th, 2010 09:47 amThis is based on a post I made in an ongoing discussion about using 3D generated art in comics in a forum. It's focussed me on why I do some comics a certain way.
One thing about Second Life, is that while in general they are there too, shapes figures and genders can be changed totally if you know how. I love doing collage art, which is why I'll mix comic with photo under the right circumstances (a bit like MonStar). And second life can be one big collage resource for me, with backgrounds, outfits, bodies and props already there.
However, that's only one way to do it, and even so it's important to be consistent to get the best results. That's were the art lies, in designing those characters and settings so it looks right. And while for me that's fun and I find it a valid way of generating Fumetti (just like machinima is a valid way of generating videos) it's only one way, and nothing beats drawing something by hand!
