MILK, PETROL, KETCHUP

++ My goal with ‘Milk, Petrol, Ketchup’ was to add some video content to the world of STEEL RAINING (my series of online comics) and teach myself some 3D along the way. It’s a short 1min video clip I created with Blender 6.29.

Take a stroll downtown in this comic book-like city and meet some enigmatic characters. This whole world —they say—. Runs on Milk, Petrol and Ketchup. Head over to Newgrounds or Youtube, check it out and let us know what you think.

If you purchased any of my comics using Gumroad in the past, you can still find them inside of your library as usual. I’m sorry for any inconvenience.
