Proof of concept – first comic panel image

My graphic system is pretty bad for this, so I choose a low resolution (1280×720) and still, rendering a single image takes 2-3 hours. Then I had to completely experiment with lighting as my system doesn’t show me pre-render and there is little guidance on lumens to set – so this scene took me a few times to get right. I also did some minor touchups in Photoshop.

Still, I’m liking it now. This would be a single panel in my comic strip and I’ll add lettering. I think it works – I think this concept will do the trick for my game, at least for this stage. Since the models are all 3d, I could potentially animate it in the future – but not on this system, haha.

A prior version, I realized afterwards the pose is suggestive by accident. Had to re-render.
