I am thinking of trying to just break my quest "The Island of Onigashima" http://tgchan.org/wiki/The_Island_of_Onigashima off and just complete it as a comic, since I seem to have a lot of trouble coming up with effective ways for readers to interact with the story post Journey Quest. If I do this, I can't seem to decide what style I should draw it in. So, I am asking the internet for opinions. If you would like to voice one, please leave a vote in a comment for;
Style 1 (Game Sprite mode, the style the majority of the quest was done in)
or
Style 2 (Hero Mode, the style most chapter openings/ endings were done in, but not necessarily with color)

I've always been of the opinion of the art style fitting the type of story you're trying to tell. If you're going for cartoon silliness, the character should look appropriate, and the reverse is true. What I would also suggest is going back and forth between the two at appropriate moments in the story. It worked for Dragon Half! The only other suggestion I can make is do a few experiments and see if either feels right. Hope this helps!
Alternating!
Have you ever read Crimsons, the salmon manga?
They very effectively mix cute-style and realistic-style frames. The realistic ones are rare, but happen during moment where it's either dramatic or hilarious. Just imagine transitioning from anime-style fish to hyper-realistic fish once or twice per chapter... I think you might be able to do the same kind of thing here. Depending on how you use it, it can add an element of humor or epicness.
If you don't want to mix and match, I think both styles are excellent, and you should probably pick whichever you feel is more practical to do.
