Thank you!
These are workbench viewport renders with some free custom matcaps from gumroad.
I am enhancing the style with the viewport compositor for
very fast rendering for animation.

All of the characters are rigify rigs for animation
I am building a whole universe for this story.

I am going for that late 1990’s early 2000’s high contrast comic book art syle, except for animation.

I had tried to get some NPR effects from custom matcaps back with version 2.93 but it always fell just short of my goal asthetic.
But I recently tried the realtime viewport compositing feature in Blender 3.6 (and higher) so now I can add Bloom , hue/sat /sharpen and other effects and create super fast viewport animation renders with the workbench engine.

here are some test renders layed out as comic page.

Some rough block out animation test renders.
All characters are rigged with rigify except the fleeing crowd which are simple FK rigs with behavioural presets from the “Procedural Crowds” add-on from Blender market.
