Description
A powerful supervillian, stripped of his outfit, gets lowered into a Beyond Maximum facility vault deep in the earth's crust.
This is my attempt at giving my renders that "graphic novel" look using postwork. Please, if you view, let me know how you think this turned out. Would you see this and tell that it was rendered?
Thanks for the input!

I like the scene.
The villain seems to be the closest resembling a GN drawing. Nice work on him. The girl clearly looks rendered, as does the guard. Not sure how much you were going for, but it is a great attempt nonetheless.
Fantastic work, this does have the feel of a graphic novel. Your characters looks great!
Great work on the attempt! Looks very good for a GN
Nice! He sure doesn't look too happy.
very good work and scene!
Great Work!
good work nice scene
cool pic
una creacion genial.
It's a very nice scene. However, it doesn't really matter if you actually hand-drew this scene or if you modeled, posed, rendered, and then applied postwork. Other than being the artist, you are the "director" of the scene you are trying to create. The "look" of graphic novels have evolved from traditional to digital. You will still find both on the shelves and on people's websites. This scene could just as easily have a cartoon filter applied to it, and seasoned Photoshop users will recognize the techniques used. Non-users won't care what you did... they will just like it or not. A publisher will feel likewise and go with the flow of what's hot to publish, or what artist to sign. As far as the "rendering" goes, and to the crit above, if you chose to render at a higher resolution (such as 3000 pixels), we would be able to see the figures closer. Maybe some of us posters who are intimate to the geometry of the Michael, Victoria, and etc. generations might think "...oh... rendered!" But, there is a lot of fantastic postwork that can deceive and make one think it was truly painted or drawn like Boris Vallejo. I don't mean to say "deceive" in a bad way. It would be a preference or ability of the artist that is doing the executing. Haha... didn't mean to ramble!
EXCELLENT SCENE!!!
Awesome rendering work! Bravo!!!
My thoughts were similiar to pwilkin above, although, he stated them better than I could. Basically, I think you achieved what you wanted. However, I still prefer your more "rendered" style that you usually do to this sort of thing--although I don't dislike this style. It just isn't my preference. Might be interesting if you had given us both styles to compare.
Looks good and has a nice comic book feel to it!
this is great love the style of the image as well, superb work
great creation!
Awesome scene...
Agree with pwilkin as well.
Very cool, great effort, I like the effect.
Wonderful image - actually a true 2D image tends to either have little 3D 'feel', or far too much. Renders made 2D-ish tend to stick out because they have a "better" mix of the 3D. I like the 2D-ish AO/Toony textures just because I'm not trying to create photo-realism, and love the rich colors and shadowing they allow; they can become almost stained-glass window like.
Excellent job on the postwork! Also, the poses for all three characters are great!
