BARBAROUS: building a cathedral shot
🕑 Added 2021-08-13 17:00:07 +0000 UTCI personally think that the shot of Cameron from Page 3 / Panel 1 is one of the cooler ones from the chapter so far, so I wanted to share how I put it together!
Once again, there's an astounding number of free-or-inexpensive 3D assets available in the Clip Studio Asset library and I found this absurdly detailed cathedral for free download(!!). There were some columns and small windows on either side of the pews that were perfect as basis for the scene setup I was hoping to make. This environment is heavily based on The Basilica of St. Patrick's Old Cathedral in Manhattan so I also collected a bunch of reference shots of the interior and tried to set up the detailing in a similar way.
Fortuna (the dog familiar) is going to be appearing a lot in this chapter so I also threw down for a fully articulated dog model. I have zero regrets, it's been soooo nice to have!!! Even if I'm barely using model's pose, it's just nice to be able to have a quick and dirty comparison of size relation/uniform perspective across several characters. It keeps me from overthinking a layout and over-working a shot (which for me makes characters read stiff).
If there's any pages or panels you folks are interested in, I'd be happy to do a breakdown of it! It's been fun learning new tools and I'm happy to share!

;0; thank you so much! it's been really cool and satisfying (and FASTER) to learn how to use Clip, it makes me really happy that sharing this stuff is also fun for you as well! ❤️
I keep flicking through the first 4 images to compare all of them and I'm still in awe. Season 2 is so cooooooool
