It took 30 years for me to realize I'm not a story teller.
Today I started to publish the book version of my comic, from the reboot version. Why book? It is helping me have much more focus on characters traits, places, events, and avoid plot holes. It is available on its original language (Brazilian Portuguese) and in English (translated). The comic will be back some day.
The Elven Starship ended up having a prequel, that explains some things that happens in the actual arc. Since the comic is on hiatus because of the art, i'll do a reboot, starting it from the prequel, instead of the actual arc. The title will make more sense this way.
Or maybe canceling it would be better....
The Elven Starship will be back, I promisse. For now, stay with the new art I finished today for Rus. Finally I got something I'm happy with.
BTW, when I finish the new models and have the comic running again, I'll start updating the old comic about 3D modeling, to show what has been done to make The Elven Starship possible. I hope what I learned can be of use for other creators.
If someone is asking: yes, the comic "The Elven Starship" is on hiatus until the new models are ready. When everything is ok, the publication will resume.
This is an example of the work being made with the models now. The new models will be easier to control, and the textures will have a hand painted feel and more constrast. Also the hair is made with the hair system and a special shader, replacing the actual hair that is draw by hand.

I think I'll give a break in my comic, Elven Starship, for some time. The realistic style become too hard for me to do, even being in 3D, so, I'm thinking in redoing it with another style, new retro, something more close to Samurai Jack. I need to create the models and make a visual test first. Realistic 3D models are hard to make, and I don't want to depend on 3rd party models, I'm better doing low poly models for games.
If anyone know where to find shots of motivation, please, tell me. Maybe my comic isn't original enough to get attention :/
