Deciding on an artist
🕑 Added 2021-08-29 11:23:25 +0000 UTCSo…
It was a spontaneous poll and I already started it on SH and RR, but as everyone here on Patreon is making the illustrations even possible in the first place, I naturally have to ask here, too.
As you might have noticed, I had Anna's illustrations and the two lap-pillows from the previous chapters drawn by two different artists. I'd like to settle for one, though, to get some continuity in the art, and it'll be much easier to explain when I want something. Upcoming plans are a cover, Ellie, and then stuff that hasn't happened yet~.
Artist 1:
Sample 1
Sample 2
Artist 2:
Sample 1
Sample 2
Though, I have to note that Artist 1's ~40% cheaper, so we could get more illustrations with them.
I'll let you have a vote to see which you like more. That said, I haven't asked them to do more yet, so this vote might could end up being pointless.

I like artist 2 just because they look more adult. :)

Money will always be a question of the support on Patreon as basically everything I get here will be used for illustrations. It might actually be a nice idea to use both whenever a new character's introduced and then focus on one for scenes.

well like I said, IF you had the money I'd use both 1 for more location-al shots and 2 as character ones.

Yeah, both are very different but good on their own. 1 is super colorful and cute while 2 is cleaner/sharp and the shadow in the lap pillow one is amazing. For reference: The lap-pillow of 1 was 60$ and from 2 it was 100$. Anna was the same (40$), but 1 had the background included in that. So, it's actually probably even more than 30%... Especially when more characters are in the illustration. (No idea why I even used that % anymore now...)

I have to say as someone with a minor eye for good artwork artist 1 is only a tiny bit worse then number 2 so them being 30% cheaper is a steal really. For the best of both worlds use number two for his amazing character portraits and number one for anything with a really meaningful background as they far outshine number two in backgrounds.
