Comic-Style through Photoshop

I'm mostly new to the boards, but I've been playing CoX for half a year now - and I've always wanted to turn whatever random roleplaying my tiny SG does into a comic. But first, I need a good art style. So I used a tutorial, worked out the kinks, and made my favorite screenshot into this:

Surrender, Comic-Style!

What's everyone think? Comic-y enough to become an actual comic once we get into a story? I'm sure it's been done before, of course. And if anyone has any suggestions on a better tutorial than the one I'm following, I'd be very grateful!

Thanks!

That looks great. I really like it!

I'd be interested in the tuturial you used. Be fun to try it out. Maybe post a linky?

Good work!

EDIT: Oh, and welcome to the forums!

Here ya go!

Keep in mind, I've found that only large-scale images work well, and be sure to run the usual auto contrast/levels/etc to make the pictures as clear as possible. Have fun!

And thanks for the welcome!

That's pretty neat. I think you could make a nice looking comic with that effect.

Thanks!

To show a bigger, less-artsy screenshot, here's my boyfriend Wavesmasher in his second costume. The scenery's a little speckled, but I kinda like how the tree and the building looks.

I think it looks great. A very nice job and I think your team mates will love what you do with it and their characters
