Marauder II Lineart GIF
Added 2020-07-17 07:56:35 +0000 UTCHere's an animated gif of the lineart process for the Marauder II.
Alan renders out the lines from 3D for everyone, he also did the first frame of ink here.
Unfortunately I didn't think to save out more file iterations on this one, so you'll notice a huge progress jump at once stage. Does show a few things well though:
- Even though we usually have finished 3D models to start from now, there's still a lot of work required to take it from an obvious 3D output to something that looks more traditional. Even if we weren't trying to kill off the 3D model look, it still takes a lot of line weight improvements to get it passable.
- We get the angle, perspective, and a shadow reference provided by 3D, but the downside is the 3D models are tolelranced for miniatures which makes all the armor seams way too big, so almost every seam needs to be redrawn. At least the model provides reference for where to work.
- Every background gets done a little differently, but here you can see I started with a sketch around the mech, then we took it back into 3D to accurately place the walls and scale the human figures.
- When trying to detail pavement. Random seams, manholes, hoses!

I love this shaded line art! I think it’s so smart to start with these 3d models and ensure quality and consistency. It’s really like the Mech Art is maturing

2020-07-18 02:38:18 +0000 UTCNICE! Thank you for this! It's my favorite line art to date.
2020-07-17 22:08:19 +0000 UTCLove that animated effect.
2020-07-17 19:18:54 +0000 UTCAwesome, yea I think the 4A could be represented by a center line large laser. I can't to add this to my Wolf's Dragoons!

2020-07-17 13:44:19 +0000 UTCI am still hoping for a Technical Readout that just includes all the stuff from the Clan Invasion KS, but with the updated designs/artwork.

2020-07-17 12:58:55 +0000 UTCI can´t overstate how much i enjoy the unified look the new lineart has (i guess due to it being based on 3D Models). In the past, it was sometimes really jarring to see the odd mix of different styles different artists brought to the TROs.
