Feather Toes

This is definitely better than the "cartoony" style. To be honest, I never really liked it before because it just seemed too silly and didn't really fit with alot of the themes that you use, however lighthearted they are.

I like what you've done here. Her body is more mature and sexy looking, and more importantly is in proportion mostly. Right away the character has more substance and presense than it did before, and the medium you used to color this exemplifies that. You also did a good job with the watercolors.

I'm able to take her more seriously as an independant character and appriciate her more. I've never purchased any of the books, but with this style alone I would consider doing that.

I'm sure you've been able to tell I'm a technical person, moreso as an artist who pays attention to minute details. And I have to say that this is your best Stipp picture yet. Rather than go into a speech of why and how, I'll just leave it as it is and let the others fill in the rest. I may not be alone anymore in style, and it would be nice to have a peer.

My only regret?

That this style didn't come along sooner.
 
i love it

I love all your work, it has tremendous energy and expression in the reactions to tickling. This method of coloring looks good; but i like the cartoony style of coloring more with this type of cartoony drawing.

great work though.

i like all of your shit, and this stuff ain't no exception.

it's rough and dirty, almost nitty-gritty, but quite honest in its presentation. sort of like a folk song

either way, and to supplement one of the above posts, your illustrations in any context are very fun, colorful, spunky, full of energy like a christie hemme on prozac, et cetera, and is as playful as the theme, contrary to pope-ular opinion

but as for the new, perhaps it's about growing up, and in a way, stipplewitz is growing up ...again? stipplewitz has a fairly interesting, bored and nigh sorrowful expression in that first picture, like it's saying something else subversively, or else i'm making a retarded inference. but that would mean she's developing a stronger and more matured personality! and i think that comes through nicer, and probably what really engages me about the first picture. it may make things a little more sentimental, but perhaps something can be done with that, without making too much of a cheeseball scene. that's what i'm afraid of

now, all the children sing
all the girls who are independent
appreciate my honesty

As Morandilas said, most impressive, most impressive indeed. You took a new syle and did wonders, that you did. A most unique and awesome look.
 
Style and color treatment is alot more important than many think. Its key for how people will visually interprete what they are seeing, and its a huge part of story telling.

The grit and grime of the world this character lives in calls for more earthy tones and paletes. Really bright and extravagent colors (like in alot of anime) take it out of the element and context and take a portion of the serious nature away.

An example of what I mean are shows like the X-Files, and Witch Hunter Robin. They have this dark tone of coloring and lighting treatment that overshadows the plot and reinforces it. While the untrained eye may not notice this at first, they will eventually. These color options help reenforce the seriousness of the plotline and add drama with saying anything. Its just color, but it speaks volumes.

I think that if you were to take this into consideration you'd take this comic, visually at least, to new places. And it would still be able to retain any comedic value you've instilled into it.
 
Outstanding work, as always. They have a certain beauty, if not playfulness, to them. I really like both of these works.

However, if you are asking which style to go with, I have to tell you that the comic-style that you usually use is superior. It find it conveys more expression, and is just plain cuter, but that's me.

CE,
I guess I'm just messing around with styles. I tend to get bored fast and thought I'd try something new. I'm not gonna dump the cel-shaded look, but just good to switch things up a bit.

Tyk,
Hey thanks for the comments 😀 Yeah, I think the cartoony stuff will always remain my no.1 choice of style, but needed a break from it heh.

Morgan,
Thanks alot for that post. I totally hear what you're saying. I think this new style tends to capture motion much better cause it's still in the "sketch" faze...which I've always believe that some of the motion is lost in any pic once it goes from sketch to final ink.

MTJ,
Thanks alot bud 😀

Shadow,
Thanks alot my friend. Glad u dig the new look.

Rajee,
Thanks again bro.

Falcon,
Many thanks my friend.

Midnight,
Thanks alot and thanks for stating ur opinion on which style u prefer. I'm enjoying hearing what people. Think.

Well, here is another page with a few more old sketches I had but never colored. And could that be Stipp in the lower left...with powers? Could be 😉

Love the rustic watercolour look, el Dragoon. Adds that certain dynamic to your art!
 
Thanks alot Chimp 😀 I'm kinda diggin' the old, faded look.

Shadow,
Heh, yeah, I was playing with the idea of Stipp having powers, namely electricity here. She's about ready to cook up some bar-b-que 😉
 
Really nice change of pace. Not too many water-color-based works out there in our particular genre. I for one think it's great. I know you're not abandoning your usual style, which is good because you so rock...but this is a nice view of another side of your talent. You never cease to amaze! :bowing:
 
Thanks alot Dave. And yes you're correct. I won't be ditching the traditional cel-shaded style. Just felt like experimenting a tad bit 😉
