Lineart style ~ VS ~ Lineless style
🕑 Added 2022-09-11 22:32:29 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
Some time ago, I made a little test. Something I wanted to try to make sure I would be able to do it without losing too much time.
The test in question started as a simple drawing to imagine a new design for the special device of my dragon Keluna (which you can see here : https://www.patreon.com/posts/70117938 ).
After that test, I was curious to know if I would be able to reproduce that special style with my comic. And with the page 18, it seems that I can, and it doesn't seem to make me loose more time by doing so.
I even think I may be able to find a way to be faster after some practice, the slowest part of that new style being that it requires more layers in Krita.
However, what would be the point to use a new style if I'm not sure it is something you like or not?
So here is my question: what do you think about this new style?
Of course, feel free to develop your opinion in comment.

Ah, yes, I see what you mean there. Well, to answer to your 2 comments, yes, I agree with you. And this is indeed a bit simplistic... Make it more simplistic was also the idea from the start. With the lineless style, I don't need to be as precise if I want something clean. And since this will be a long project, I intend to make it simplistic if possible. Though, I perfectly see what you mean and I agree with you. I'm quite happy of this page, with the new style, but it lacks a bit of details. Especially of darker parts, to show more muscles and delimitations I'd say. Btw, I don't find the 2 dragons are blending together, but if they were the same colour, you would probably be correct about it. Thank's for your constructive comment. It is very helpful. ^^

To add to this, the NEW style looks to be from a children's story book now when I think about it some more. Feels more simplistic as it is now. Could be solved with more details or darker colors/lighting.

Both are interesting, but for a comic I would still say the old style works better since its easier to quickly see what's going on. In the new style (in the comic page you had as an example), the two dragons blend together a little too much without the darker contour lines. The old style it's also easier to see the body details that disappears when the same color. In a comic I think you should with just a glance over the page see all the details, and with this new style you need to stay an look closer, which according to me is a bit off putting. But with that said, Both styles WOULD definite work. both have their unique feeling to them, but for a comic my vote still goes towards the old style.

Well, yes, I have to admit the 3D is clearly more obvious with the new style. You're right ^^ Thank's for your opinion. =)
The new style looks, for me, more soft.

Force me to vote, and probably lineless cuz imo it makes the scene more 3D. But honestly both are neat.
