Negative Positive
Title: Mediocre
Review: The title "Creating 3D Comix" would excite anyone interested in either graphics or 3D animation. Unfortunately, Mr. Mortier's book does not fully deliver on this exciting premise. Why are all the comics in this book so infantile? I was expecting something on the lines of a slick Heavy Metal cartoon. What I got instead was silly children stories. Some of Mr. Mortier artwork could be deemed original, but it is not very practical. Why does he have an obsession with distorted and morphed figures? What use would I get out of a character with large ears and a pointed nose? Some of his images also have a disturbing hallucinogenic look. For example, on page 364 there is a strange three-headed bug man. It is interesting for a few seconds, but what the heck I am going to do with it. With this book, Mr Mortier seems to be playing around like a child with a toy. However, playing with toys is something we all eventually grow out of.
Is the review positive or negative?
