It never hurts to visit other styles and workflows. I usually work in a fairly painterly, 5 values scale of rendering out whether working digitally or with physical media. I really admire super clean, cell-shaded styles as well, however. The jury seems out as to whether using vector pen tools or hand inking with the brush set to 1px is cleaner/better. Different stroke widths for different folks.
So here's a combination hand-lining and pen-tool wielding progression of a character I kicked out in about 2 hours for some practice.
As well as a portraits. The tan girl is Pandora, whom is a character owned by Jen Analias.
I still love that you captured the feel I want for Pandora - that portrait has the right feel and look and I am SO happy to have it. Also, the attitude you've captured in Stroud's port is just fantastic - as is the fact that you've matched the shop's art (Natsube's) style so well while still keeping your own in there. Bravo, my friend.
