    Rework of Tough Urban Woman vs Yucky Man

    Thanks for the comments everyone, especially ed3D.  Hope this makes it more clear he is bothering her.  I did a separate render of a bus from the browser tray to create the texture map for the bus stop sign.

    Composite with NPR

    I rendered out a base render (most shaders converted to black/white gradients), coverage pass, and shadow pass.

    I took the base render and inserted it in the backdrop of a new scene.

    In the render room, I switched from photoreal to NPR.  I rendered out two NPR renders, one with a very transparent brush and one with a more dense brush.

    I composited the shadow pass with the NPR, and adjusted some with the base pass to get the text more readable.  I didn't like the lines from the coverage pass show I excluded it.

    _ You're Very welcome _

    Oh, What A Tangled Web

     

    The image is pretty dark, so you will need to click on to the larger size so the white forum background doesn't fry your eyes. :)

    I rendered the BG separately, and loaded it onto a plane.  It was made using the Black Widow model and a GMIC filter (Contours>Skeleton, the raw render is below), and then tweaked with lights and bump maps.

     

    Spiderman is M4, using the Joe Quick freebie morph and textures at ShareCG.  The boots and mask have individual morph controls.  Pretty impressive for a freebie!

    No postwork

     

    Looking great UB !!

    Thanks Bunyip and HW, for commenting on the Spiderman render.

    Sorry I have been mostly absent.  Probably won't get any better for the time being.

    How did I miss this gem?  The caption style is perfect.  Are you using Comic Life for captions?

    A very clean image, looking a bit like the Panos filter.  The unique font really adds to the render!

    Delurking! I've been excited to follow this thread. I think I need to figure out how to pdf the whole thread eventually for study purposes.

    Bunyip, I love the range of effects you are pulling out of the filters you are using. You've inspired me to spend more time with G'mic. I think Super Ribbit is hilarious, but the sheer joy of the bear in the woods really made  me happy.

    Stezza, I love the raccoon guy you've managed! so cool. Chickenman's sidekick cracked me up, lol.

    Diomede, thank you for chronicling the hair experiment. Very informative.

    Headwax, I love the illustration feel of the "Boy finds spaceship" variants, though I'd be hard pressed to pick a favourite. They look like they belong in a Ray Bradbury collection.

    UB, Love the Jack Kirby tribute. The colours are perfect! Spiderman is amazing!

    Vyusur, the textures you've used are beautiful.

    I'm afraid we've been getting crazy weather which has my chronic migraines all wound up, but I've been poking away when I can stand to look at a screen.

     

    Title: Origins

    I wanted a non-photorealistic starfield, so I made a plane deep purple, nearly black, then in the glow channel added Enhance C starfield.

    I tried my hand at modeling the spaceship, but I'm not sure if it is a spaceship or an ugly light shade. The weird alien soccer nets are the Carrara objects trellis tipped over and retextured. I tried using multiple copies of the virus with each set to a different transparency to try to get the comic book motion effect. Not sure it worked all that well.

    I used ToonPro for lines that I then took into photoshop to darken and thicken.

    I use G'mic Wild Cartoonizer on the full image.

    Then took that to photoshop and ran it through Topaz Glow 2 which added to the toon effect.

    Then Clip Studio Paint for the motion line and the text balloon.

    Here is the before postwork:
