Makeover

Mollinda:
I think the fact the anime 'snuck in' speaks volumes.

You're pulling on influences around you and moulding it into your own style. That's great - a true artist changes and evolves, never be scared to try something new! I mean look at QC - it has changed so much over the years and just gets better and better!

I've just changed the layout, the speech bubbles, the line thickness etc with my comic and basically I love it! If I feel like doing something different, I will - a new comic will always be a work in progress.

Sorry I'm rambling - basically it's great to see someone evolving their own style :D

I guess you're right.  It's very interesting to look at it that way, but I can see exactly what you mean.  I've NEVER sat down and attempted to draw a specific style.  

One time I tried to draw like Jeph and it ended up looking ugly, and I immediatly stopped and went back to experimenting with my own style and letting it take it's own shape.  

I can definetly see the influences some of my characters have by Jeph's drawing, but NONE of that is because of the one time I tried to mimic his style.  It's all collective, which I hadn't noticed until your post.

Thanks a bunches for your comments.  I'm going to try doing a little more sketching with this character tonight.  You can see a gross attempt at hardlining and coloring here:




The colors were random, and accidently that close.  Ooops.  I really don't like how these turned out.  Any suggestions?
