2d art style - astronaut near satellite (made from 3d)

So the task was to create from 3d and an image a 2d looking image.
Using Lightwave's cel style BESM shader and a 3rd party program called fotosketcher and FUSION for composite - i was able to wrangle all the elements into an acceptable 2d hand drawn look that would be perfect for say an E-book comic style book.
The fotosketcher was able to take the image where it needed to go but couldn't do justice to the astronaut, but using lightwaves cel shading plugin i was able to get a very nice cel style. Lightwave has amazing cel outline edging abilites and you see it here in its fully glory.

FYI - alot of anime still use lw becuase of the suprior cel style abilites.

The end result 2d hand drawn look - great for comic books

Thats my 3d version - by isolating the astronaut using cel i was able to bring him as an element into fusion where i can float him around on the x and y axis animating there in fusion is preferable to animating it in lw.
