Hmm.

I know how much you like the paper style. But maybe it’s time to start evolving it?

I recently found a new drawing method that blends the editable rigs of the paper style, but with paint-like effects. I’ve been using it for Diaries, and I love using it.

So I was thinking of applying it to PC. Yes, I know that the final decision is up to me, but I want to know your opinion.

Any thoughts?

  2. nealend answered: Well, I’d have to see it first before I can voice my opinion on it.
  3. goldenzeal answered: testing new things is good :)

  9. flyingbrony answered: What ever you feel like, man. I’ll enjoy your talent no matter how you express it.
  10. jingerjargon answered: I’d be fine with a style change, and the painted look of diaries is pretty cool, so I say go for it.
  11. dusklulamoon answered: Is that what you used on Diaries? Looks good ^_^

  14. poniesallovertheplace answered: I honslty like the paper style. Its what made me start watching you on deviant art. but its your call.
  15. zrebak answered: If you ask me you can make each post in different style :P
  16. sidnoea answered: The paper-paint style is so awesome that it hurts my face. Please use it.
  17. jastars102 answered: I like the paper style as it is
  18. eternal-era-twilight-former answered: It seems good, but it looks less life like than the normal paper style and it feels like the style devolved… so I have to say no to this.
  19. paraspritehugger answered: The best style is the one an artist likes the most to tell his stories with, I’d love to see your new style in PC.
  20. tyson-rex answered: I like the current style a bit more than the new one. It’s alot more crisp and the other looks rather blurry
  21. brokshi answered: If you feel it’s easier/more fun, sure.
  22. nintendofreak768 answered: I love it
  23. meioubunny answered: would love to see it!
  24. arbitraryaxolotle answered: Humans don’t like change. I don’t follow Diaries, admittedly, so I’m not sure what that style is like.
  25. ponycycle answered: Maybe you should test it out and see what the reaction is
  26. unrussledjimmys answered: do it.
  27. infinitywhale answered: I tend do enjoy what you do regardless of what happens. Just do what feels right. You’re the artist.
  28. rainev1 answered: Can you show us some posts with this new style ro compare to the old one?
  29. moonstruck2 answered: give it a shot, if it takes too long or dose not look good than scrap it. what ever it takes for you to keep interest in the project.
  30. askcloudsdalefillies answered: ((Sounds good. Any sort of art shift is fine in my books, so long as you yourself enjoy doing it. Go for it!))
  31. buzzbya answered: draw however you want, whatever makes it easiest and fun for you
  32. drow-chan answered: That’s kinda difficult to answer. AN artist should not stagnate, but on the other hand I prefer PC’s current style to Diaries…
