Lately I've been doing a bunch of writing and providing support for Femur over at TG Comics. And it's all been very satisfying creatively speaking.
So not long ago, it got me to thinking... rather than having to enlist someone else to do the artwork for any comics I wrote, maybe I should try rendering my own artwork. So after about a month of playing around with 3D rendering software, the resulting comic is now here!
It's a fun 37-panel vignette called "Test Render No. 1". I took some of the experiences I went through when learning the rendering software and went full-out meta with it. And of course, a huge inspiration was the classic Warner Bros. cartoon "Duck Amuck" where Daffy Duck is at the mercy of his unseen artist.
This was already posted on TG Comics over the weekend and so far the response has been very positive. So now, I'm posting here as well in a slideshow format below. The slideshow can be expanded to full screen if you need to see it better. I'm unsure how this slideshow will work in a mobile browser, so I apologize if you can't see it below. However if you can't view it here, please check it out at TG Comics or over at my updated DeviantArt page.
And yes, I know this isn't my usual work with videos, but it's the most fun I've had creatively in a LONG time. After close to 150 videos over the years, I sometimes feel like things get a little stale and less enjoyable. So while I don't plan on giving up videos at all, I think you can expect to see me post more of this type of work going forward.
Let me know what you think.
Enjoy!
Truly,
Wren
