Office Stix Site Design/Development, Comic Visit the site

Office Stix is my first attempt at doing comic work. I have been getting more and more into comics and decided one day that I wanted to make one to poke fun at office situations. I'm not a skilled illustrator so I decided to go a different route with the panels.

Instead of drawing the characters, scanning them in, and finally tracing them in Illustrator; I decided to do things a bit differently. I created a single model in Swift-3d and mold the model to whatever pose I want. After posing, I export the scene to Illustrator where I add in heads, facial expressions, dialog and any other extras needed. The finished product is what you see on the site.

The site design mirrors a classic comic look. Black bordered boxes with content inside and comic text for headers; coded completely with valid XHTML and CSS.
