Dilemma

Seriously. Dilemma.

I've been doing Collide in the style I've been using for years. I've tweaked it a bit, and I do like it. It works for Collide. But for my future comics... I don't want to use that style. It doesn't suit them. Collide is the first comic I planned and it took a long time, so I've been staring at these character designs in that style for years. It belongs with this style.

So I spent the past few days nailing down what I want to do my other comics in. I knew I wanted it more detailed, realistic, and less manga-ish. But I still wanted large eyes, very expressive faces, and will probably use chibis.

Here's what I came up with.



You like it? I do. Very much. I've been drawing characters from my other comics all day. The biggest change is the nose. I really like it.

But I am concerned that I won't get truly used to this style unless I draw it all the time from now on. But Collide is in a different style.

I guess I could do both as best I can, and try not to let them affect each other?

Mehhhhhhh!
