HRGH

I can't decide which I prefer. ;o;

THE ONE WITH JARI IN IT.

XD Between the two, I think I like this one more.

... I do, too. ;_;

I'm not sure which one I like better.

I think you would have needed to heighten the contrast a lot on the other to make it a bit more...bold like this one. (Uh, I mean manually, not just through the contrast slider. XD) That said, I like how the sewage and background was done on the other one more (probably because there is more contrast and saturation).

...But if you like doing cel-shading more, then you should. XD It doesn't matter which ~looks better~ to other people.

Also, if you think the cel-shading looks better, it's probably also because you're a lot more practiced at it. XD

... I didn't change the sewage or background between the two, hahahaha. Just Jari. I did lighten the colors because they were too searing.

But, I dunno. I tried the other one bolder and it looked terrible. But you're probably right; I am just more learned in cel-shading. It's not that reason that I prefer it, though.

I like to use bold lines and soft shading looks kind of ridiculous on it; like trying to make a cartoon painterly. Sometimes people can make it work, I can't. Cel shading is just as bold and has the same sort of... smoothness, I guess? I don't know how to put it.

Also, it's more shape...ier. I like shapes. ;_;

Wait wait wait, I get what you mean with the sewage and background thing. Because I lightened the colors it took the contrast away.

I GET IT NOW.


... Sorry, I am... like... falling asleep.

YES, THAT.

I know you didn't change how you colored the background, but it definitely looks a little more washed-out here. YOU KNOW MY COMPUTER IS SENSITIVE TO THESE SLIGHT CHANGES.

Well, if you like it more, stick with it. I only know the CONTRAST issue because, looking back on my old soft colored art, I didn't have as much contrast as I should have (and it's mostly because of Katherine that I finally changed that, hurr).

Also, I have been struggling with similar issues of making linearted art look good with soft shading lately.

For a while there, I was mostly doing cel-shading or lineless digital paintings. Now I'm doing a bit more of what I used to (pictures that with lineart and soft coloring).

Hell, if you remember how to make it work, tell me. :B

Well, I think I did okay here...?

I dunno, that's my most recent example of that combination. XD

I plan to stick with it. I mean, I may dabble because it never hurts to do something different, but... XD;

And... ffff, I feel like I've been DISREGARD EVERY ADVICE YOU GIVE, but I am not. I swear. I LISTEN.

But yeah, I know. It's also nice to have a somewhat consistent style. XD I feel a little IDENTITY-LESS art-wise because I vary my coloring...maybe too much?

IT LOOKS LIKE I DISREGARD STUFF, TOO, DON'T WORRY. It's one thing to disregard, another to disagree.

I do prefer this cell-shaded one, though it might just be that you have more experience doing this type of thing so it comes out better?

Does sewage jacuzzi come with sewage jets? I bet that'd be a pain to keep unclogging. :C

Yeah, that probably is a lot of it. I also just think the way I do lines makes things look ridiculous if I try to shade them softer. Like, I dunno what it is, but maybe Ivan'll prove me wrong when we eventually collab. It could just be I suck at anything aside from cel-shading. XD;


AND YES, although she provides them herself by just wagging her tail in utter joy.

JARI: MADE OF THE MOST DISGUSTING HAPPY IN THE WORLD.

She's so disgusting.
