Despite having a 3d comic I think the style of the art can and will be changing for a while as I discover new and better ways to make the characters look the way I want them to. I've always been a little unhappy with Alex's hair but unable to figure out what was wrong. Suddenly, I realize that his shadow and highlights were wrong inside the shader. Now, not only does it blend in with his fur better but it looks more like hair a giant rabbit humanoid should have. Of course you would have to look really close to see the difference but I can tell, and thats all that really matters. (hint, it's 2 shades darker all around.) I'm leaving the archive as it is tho, as testamony to what it once looked like. I'm also going to try making the baloons at 75% opacity so one can make out the detail work behind them. I notice most 3d comics have something like that so maybe I should try it as well.
Prepare for a brief history lesson as Alex learns more about Questa and the planets isolation. This is just a time killer so to speak until Dad is done in the hospital, however, it is also important to the overall plot of the graphic novel of Insanity of Xade. Yes, I do have a legitimate plot; I just love side trips and the challenge of fitting my ideas together. So, be patient, I'll be getting to the caper sooner or later. I'm already working on some models and characters.

New work
by Xade
I have been busy today! here's a sneak peek of what I am working on. (jeeze, is it just me or is my brain having too many farts today?)
Since no one has stepped up to be my artist I decided to scour my hard drives and backup disks for my old runtime and lo and behold I found it. Its a little out dated and stuff but it's passable. The current release of Daz Studio has a shadow ambient bug so I am defaulting to a gray shadow, instead of a deeper color of the main color like I prefer. After all, youre not gray when you step into shadow, you are much a darker skin tone. I do try to be realistic now, but I gotta shelve my pride and work with what I have or I will never update, as I am sure some of you think so.
Anyhow, check back later for a funny test comic featuring yours truly.
