I have aspiration to create a story mode for Lianhua. It would be similar to a video game story mode, where Dr. Wong plays as Linahua through a continuously evolving story created by the Fight Master AI. I imagine many moments where Dr. Wong narrates her thoughts during a fight, so I've been experimenting with different styles to reflect this. Here are two sample pages of what...

Lianhua is definitely in my top 5 favorite models to work with.

The focus of the first pass was to get the stories into collections. Now, I've also gone through all of the previews and one-offs an included them in collections as well.
There are three new collections:

Well, she did say, "harder."

Time to use one of those new moves, Robin!

Update: I re-uploaded page 35. It had some weird artifacts that were introduced on export that weren't visible in Comic Life.
I think that one ruffled Stephanie's feathers.

I got home from work later than expected so I wasn't able to do much experimenting. Along with the final, I uploaded the layers.
Just to quickly summarize what I did for post work:
- The canvas impact is a gradient flare in overlay mode. After scaling the flare and tweaking its perspective, I used a zoom blur on it to smooth it out a bit.
- The background uses zo...
...and I'm starting to see a story form around it. I have an urge to postwork one of these angles, but I'm having trouble deciding. I'll probably post the final image tomorrow.

Lianhua demonstrates her version of the Heimlich maneuver.

Honestly, I don't think she minds... I've been wanting to render another scene of Lianhua's second favorite activity next to fighting. I think I nailed the posing, but that bra has been difficult to work with. When I get some time, I'll probably tweak it in Blender.

Was chatting with Gemma Rox about ideas for motion blur and wound up with all these. 😆 One aspect I LOVE about 3D art is experimenting. I wish I had more time for it.

I enjoyed posing this one. I was trying to capture that dramatic, "start of the fall moment", where you can feel the center of gravity shift, and you know that there's know turning back.

The classic, Scorpion Kick.

Those long arms are tough to deal with.

I like how the blue flames came out. They seem to follow the path of the kick nicely...

Did she seriously think that one German Suplex would be enough to finish off Stephanie Hawk? 🙄
2023-11-17 12:45:00 +0000 UTC View Post
I don't imagine Stephanie being an invincible fighter. She'll win and she'll lose. For me, that makes her character more interesting to work with - she fights knowing that success is not assured, and that sometimes, she'll lose badly. But that doesn't stop her. ✊

The tops are a little difficult to work with. I might need to add some d-formers or go straight to Blender.

"I can do this allll night..."
Maybe to get a larger audience and more sponsors, the PFF creates a side league featuring full contact fights?
I think the Ginja has regrets.
