I find that P4 lends itself pretty easily to the making of cartoon-ish images, in fact I have a hard time making anything else with it. It's mostly a lighting thing: I leave all three lights at infinite, and place them in a kind of triangle pattern more or less in front of the figures (one overhead, one about waist height, one shining up from near ground level), which has a flattening effect (backlighting seems to enhance the illusion of depth). I turn shadows off on all but one light--usually the one that's overhead, reduce that shadow to .5 or less, increase the shadow map size to about 750. The result is something that looks kind of like a glossy comic-book cover; but then, I've always wondered why the whole comic-book couldnn't look like that.

Woops--forgot to click the nekkid button.

Are you sure you meant to post this on the main site? Nice work. -JH.

Not??!!! Uh, Jeff--this IS where the cartoon discussion's going on, right? Sheesh! I mean, this image isn't even a full nude--pretty dang tame compared to most of my stuff. My judgment about such things may be a tad out of whack, though.

Better safe than sorry ya know. -JH.

That must be why I'm so damn sorry.

I love the faces; might be a bit too ... mature ... for some visitors, but still nice work.

Its too bad Meta didn't do more with the sketch renderer. I would have loved a line art version in which its all Black and White with just lines. I think it can be done. I've seen Max plugins that do the comic thing. Anyway, nice sailor. Is the suit available somewhere?

Well it isn't snuff and it isn't bondage... So where else could one post it?

Mason-- The sailor suit's available at Poser Factory, the same Japanese site that has the Nene character (http://www.interq.or.jp/red/pandt21/EDLmenu.htm). They also have a great looking cheong-sam (slitted Chinese dress), and some wacky Japanese props.
