Description
This is a simple test I made to see if the Anime Studio software, which was once known as Moho, would be a plausible way to make comic strips. (Not counting the text or compositing, of course.)
Well, as you can see, the included content leaves a lot to be desired. I know that it's POSSIBLE to make an expressive, articulate character that bends properly and so forth... But real examples of such things are hard to come by.
I don't know... I've spent a lot of time getting Poser comics the way I want them. I know that the "leet" crowd is very dismissive of such things, though. And I still think that "non-leet" types are more comfortable with comics that look like the newspaper... But still, maybe I really should stick to what I know!!
Oh, well, this is just experimenting. I will have to try an original character in Anime Studio (mine is several versions old!) to see what I can come up with. Thanks for looking!

Excellent strip! love the not-so-subtle humor in this one. as one who sold comics and read an extremem (according to some) amount of comics ranging from Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers to Lucifer's Halo and every style and type in-between, Where was I? Oh yeah! The stuff you have been doing all along, really rocks. both in content and in style. The Anime has its place as well, it is going to be up to you how and where you use it, on the assumption that you will continue to explore the Anime world.
i like your comic
I like it the way it was. If you want something different, look at Riven Sol: http://www.rivensol.com/ This is done with Poser and passed through a Photoshop filter.
Hmmm.... seems to limit your possibilities. Also, rather flat and boring. I'm not impressed by any "elite". They seem to be so narcissistic bloated self-important egotists. Don't let those influence you. You have your style and characters we all love. I've seen what the "elitists" have done in my life - a mess, then they headed off laughing, leaving me in a malicious mess. In some cases the flat comic style may carry your message across, but not in all cases. Be judicious. Keep up the good work! :-)
Stick to what you do best - I like your style!
This is an incredible change! I always wondered what this software turned out, now that I see, I may have to splurge at some point when money shows itself and stops hiding from me, LOL - and get this! Thanks for the new strip posibility you're considering and for showing us something from Anime Studio! Nice!
Do what works for you. Don't be intimidated by what somebody else might think. No matter how you animate, there are still going to be those who like it and those who don't, so do it in the style that you enjoy doing...
Fine little manga story! Fine work! :o)
