Very nice, I really like the assortment of wires. Although the forearm doesnt seem to match the rest of the style, I'd say it needs a little more substance.

when thinking about the idea of a 3D comic compared to drawing it by hand, the thought of work time is shivering me! (is that even english?) but I guess as soon as you have most of the characters done and some environment/ships it´s just a matter of throwing all together differently real quick.

good work! reminds me a bit of starwars episode 1 though. hope that was´nt too mean!! waiting for updates.

damn! you work on this one for quite some time now, and it´s only one single character. complete time spent on a whole comic must be priceless! and I just donwloaded it for not even a cent. yea maybe for 0.02 cent but that´s my ISP´s cash. don´t you wanna put a donation_button onto your site?

[a rigging tut on your site (especially for different spine setups + advantages/disadvantages) would be great! user added image

Hey Falott

Well Ive been working on 3d comics for nearly 7 years now, I worked on a weekly 3d comic here in the UK for a while but I left to improve on what I was doing there. But I always wanted to do my own and do it better than my daytime job. Yeah this character has taken the longest so far but Ive had other things to do in between (freelance work to pay the bills) but Im really pleased with this character and I hope other people like it too.

My site is going to get revamped for this year, so a donation would be a good idea, how would I do that?

Yeah a rigging tute, hmmm, when I get time maybe but not yet

Cheers
Jay

Oh Falott

I forgot, Star Wars Episode 1 isnt offensive to me, half of us wouldnt be using Maya if it wasnt for that movie and a couple of others
