A few of my models, used in the LAZARUS comic book

Absolutely outstanding work! Thank you for the presentation here in the forum. Which techniques and which software do you use for the visualizations? How are the characters and their gestures created - 3D models or are they drawn into the pictures?

Thank you, faust07!
For the models I use Sketchup, for the renders - Enscape and Photoshop.
The illustrations you see below or to the right of my renderings/models are made by the artist of the LAZARUS comic book. The characters are drawn by him, though sometimes he does use 3d models as reference for them as well, especially if they are wearing some sort of specialized gear, as is the case in the two examples below:

Just stunning.

Another update. This one is the interior of a military dropship.
The scenes in it take place just before one of my favorite visuals in the book:
The above scene contains two more models I made, the dropship itself and the jetwings the soldiers are wearing:

One more time shows the versality of sketchUp! Bravo!
-
just Wow! Very good work!
-
Fantastic work!
-
Really cool stuff. To me I am getting a 'Half Life 2' vibe from them. Again, great work!

Impressive work. What version of SketchUp do you use and what are your computer specs?

Thank you, Dave! I'm using Sketchup 2018. My computer specs are embarrassingly low. I'm currently working on a seven-year-old Dell laptop (Core i7, 8gb ram, Nvidia Gt555m).
Here's another update. A military helicopter and an underground bunker base:

Excellent! Your work, then, is a great example of how SketchUp doesn't really need a huge super computer like some people would insist.

Oh, absolutely! A few months ago I had to download the trial version of 3ds max because a client had a few .max files that needed converting into skp. On my computer I could barely rotate the camera around the models in 3ds max, while in Sketchup it was no problem (with Profiles turned off, of course;)). I just wish there was more work available for us Sketchupers.

Here's one more, a VTOL aircraft:

Here's another update with a model I completed recently. I can't post this elsewhere yet because it spoils a location for the next issue of the book, but I suppose I'm fine posting it here. It's a model of an apartment that serves as a "clubhouse" of sorts for a special task force of soldiers called Daggers.
The portraits arranged around the Daggers emblem on the wall are of soldiers who have died in the line of duty:
In one corner of the room there's supposed to be a half-serious "shrine" to the leader of the Daggers, Commander Carlyle. A simplified and somewhat enlarged version of this made it into the final model, but I haven't made renders of it yet:

Could someone ban this guy? I mean posting photos as renders is NOT cool!
D@mn good stuff sir, d@mn good! -
