About the graphics in "4D Magician"

I decided to draw the graphics in "4D Magician" with the 3DCG.
At the beginning, I thought of three methods for drawing pictures in webcomics. Among three methods, one is a hand-drawn technique, another is a method using a 3DCG and next one is a method using a CG filter.

Hand-drawn picture

I like Hand-drawn picture. Because a hand-drawn picture is a picture which gushed from a painter's brain and the body. Moreover, unlike a digital copy, hand-drawn pictures never becomes the same. Therefore, people are not tired of seeing a hand-drawn picture.
However, I 'm not going to adopt the hand-drawn pictures in "4D Magician". On the webcomic "4D Magician", the 4-dimensional scenes and the scenes of magic come out frequently. It is difficult for me to express those scenes by hand-drawn.

3DCG

I drew this picture using 3DCG tools. The tools are LightWave3D, Poser, Metasequoia, Vue, etc. This method will be adopted in "4D Magician".
Mr.Blue, the hero of this story performs the magic of a miracle. Moreover, many visionary scenes come out frequently. The 3DCG will express those scenes effectively.

CG Filter(VirtualPainter/Rabica)

Many CG filters exist in a world. I like Virtual Painter's filters best of all the filters. The upper picture was processed by the Rabica filter.
The touch of this picture does not suit "4D Magician."
Some day I may think of a fairy tale. Then I want to try this filter.
