Description This is a pic for the December 2017 Challenge

"This month's challenge will be different from any other in DU history, as we focus on Black and White images. Similar to what Frank Miller has done with his famous Sin City comic book (among others), members of the Deviant Universe will create fan art of our DU characters, but this time in black and white. This will be a stark contrast to the color images of the past, and provide a fun way to create fan art but in a black and white theme. However, this won't simply be line art, but rather a great use of black and white being the sole colors to display shadow and stark backgrounds. Are you up to the challenge?"

My image doesn't really scream out traditional comic book style but when it comes toΒ making 3D comics, this is the best i can get to a Noir style comic image (at the moment).

This is 'sΒ Samantha Grey . I hope you enjoy it!

Film Noir costuming is tricky with what you have, but you have a knack for hitting the ball out of the park with the backgrounds.Β  You've actually done very well with the setting here, giving it a distinctly Frank sort of vibe, and as always I enjoy seeing Sam in your style, so thank you. ^_^, I also like the quirk with the tail.Β  It's being playful again.Β  Always likes to go wherever it pleases, doesn't it?

I did so many versions of this with different backgrounds i actually got a disk space warning lol.
And yes, her tail seems to have a mind of its own at times. Every pose i tested for this image i messed with the tail lol. I wish i had of wrapped her arm a bit tighter with the tail but i think it would have looked a bit weird.

It's tricky to get that thing right in rendering I imagine.Β  ^_^ Heh, you are quite the perfectionist, risking disk space warnings like that.Β  I like the end result quite a bit.

Thanks lol.
I need to find a different shader to use for the tail. it looks too fake. but i could always make a bump map to get it looking a bit better.

And i set my warnings to 30GB so i usually just ignore them rofl

*chuckles* yeah, shading on that thing's a pain for me too.Β  I suppose it's only fair.Β  It's a naughty little bastard, so of course it's a pain to work with.

Love this! Great take on Sam - the armour is new but it suits her.
