The customer service is excellent at 3d total! My magazine got lost in the mail, and they were very helpful through the whole ordeal and sent me a new copy as well. The CDQ magazine and all the books I have purchased from 3d total are of the highest quality. The attention to detail, the good structure, and the variety of artists showcased in them are all the signs of a team that really loves what they do. Thank you all for your hard work!

It's the best.

I love these magazines, whether it's discovering new artists and their creative processes but also to recharge your creativity

Great magazine! Shipped in good shape.

Einfach super

Paid for the annual subscription and absolutely love them! Have had three volumes now and it's awesome seeing the different (and similar) ways different artists go about their work. It's awesome for finding motivation and style inspiration

Beautiful books, love the feel of the covers. Content is wonderfully varied and provides so much insight from professional artists. Look forward to them arriving every few months and often re-read them.

The content is great and varied with so many tips and trick even for me a hobbying traditional artist. I love the insights form the contributors, and 3D's commitment to the environment is another reason to join the club!

My son and I both get crazy excited when these show up in the mail. We spend the rest of the week going through each page before school and they definitely help with my own projects as well.

I love this magazine; it's full of characters and tips and tricks. The print is beautiful, thank you so much.

I've been subscribed to cdq for about 2-3 years and I love it a lot!
Had to cancel my subscription this year due to financial reasons but might renew in the future!

Thankyou

I found this magazine through my job and Immediately ordered a subscription- rich with tips and information, it has been the best resource for my career! THANK YOU!

I work full-time making it difficult to dedicate the time I want to my art, but every new issue of CDQ arrives just when I've finished processing the previous one. It always helps me discover new artists and their methods, and the tips and tutorials throughout are well-written and visually perfect for my learning style. My skills have improved because of CDQ.

Very cute magazine, will likely order again

Love the content of CDQ. I enjoy reading the thoughts of the creators, but often the design makes it too hard to read and I don't have time to deal with that. So that means I miss content I would like to read and I am thinking of stopping subscription.

It's the most amazing magazine ever :3

I enjoy the magazine very much. The illustrations are wonderful. Having a quarterly subscription means I don't have to search for the next issue.

CDQ provides a great overview of artists and their work, while also providing insight and details into their process and background. I’ve found that CDQ is a valuable resource for any beginner and continuing artist. The amount of information as well as the specific resources embedded in the issues are fantastic. Anyone who loves art and loves to learn would be inspired and benefit from subscribing.

We bought this for our daughter who is headed to college this fall for design. She has loved everything about this magazine, and has gotten a great deal of inspiration for her art and her career path. We will definitely be renewing!

Great insight into the minds and process of a wide variety of amazing illustrators.

Please don't get mad, but I share my subscription in a limited secondhand capacity with my animation team and coworkers. The tips and tricks and beautifully illustrated examples find second life through my insistence that we, as a team, follow only the best, time tested, and expertly formulated systems, used by industry professionals the world over. This subscription has paid for itself multiple times over and continues to add value to not just my career, but the professional endeavors of everyone I have the pleasure to share my creative journey with.

Thanks CDQ. Never stop putting creatives first. You ROCK.

Best investment in a subscription ever. High quality, always inspiring <3

As an artist who loves character design, CDQ has been the best investment. I've learned so much from reading each magazine and they sit proudly on my bookshelf. I look forward to the day the next one shows up in my mailbox. I only wish they'd come more often.

If you're learning, or a professional, these are worth every penny.

Simply the best thing ever!

I’ve been buying CDQ since the first edition and currently have all 32 mags in my collection.
I love the colourful prints and overall quality of the magazine, it’s a real keeper.
As a keen amateur Character Designer I enjoy discovering the amazing new artists and the tutorials given.
There’s a bit for everyone it’s not just focused on one style of character design.
It’s a real treat I look forward to receiving each time one is delivered.
