Pivot-Manga Cel Shading
A digital comic art style created by posing anime or manga-inspired character figures in various action sequences against environmental backgrounds using Pivot Animator. The individual still frames are captured and fully enhanced using the free browser-based utility "ImageTools Comics Effect" page at its maximum settings. This process converts the raw, geometric stick-figure or puppet shapes and their backgrounds into dynamic, heavily stylized, ink-outlined cartoon artwork with high-contrast comic book textures.
"He spent hours customizing characters in Pivot Animator, took screenshots of the action poses, and ran them through the ImageTools Comics Effect page at maximum strength to give his webcomic that distinct Pivot-Manga Cel Shading look."
