I need your help determining the art direction of this project people. Which do you prefer based on style alone, then imagine a whole book with it.
Pro Manga
- Pages take less time.
- Screen tones are texturally appealing.
- Focus more on story, less on art???
- I always thought this story would be a manga
Con Manga
- I got done 8 pages this year and normal manga has like 200 pages, wtf!
- The format is small, so the characters will always look….less good and be less consistent
- I don’t totally enjoy working with tones and stuff
Pro Gfx Novel
- Its got sweet colours and I’m better at colour then tone.
- The format is bigger, so I can focus on art more and really nail the character appearances.
- Books range from 60+ pages, so less the effort per book.
Con Gfx Novel
- Pages take slightly longer to finish.
- Perhaps my style is too clunky for bigger formats???
- I would have to redo pages 2-8 again.
So theres a few things to consider when looking at these two comparatively. I have a few more, but it unbalances the arguments. I’m just a bit biased towards one of them (not saying which). So please let me know which you prefer and for what reasons. Cheers
