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!

Since I can't draw, I'm speaking from a writer's POV. I've always believed in following my style wherever it leads me, even if it changes. I figure the new style = growth and encouraging the growth allows me to grow into a stronger writer. :)
I like the image you posted, it's pretty. Of course, in the end, it's up to you; whatever works best.
