So I've been using the style on the left for the last fucking however long and I'm really annoyed with myself for not experimenting more now, because I think the answer is incredibly obvious as to what looks better

Please lemme know below which style you like more, though I think it's pretty obvious

I think black outlines look a lot better. More defined? Something like that.

RedEarphones

After looks more like the actual anime, so I'll say after!

I think the after is a bit to harsh as it makes the shadows look jagged but other than that looks real cool. I think that this image looks better with the after but I could see the before working better for some image as the depth is easier to see.

Vain D.

Before was better

Kenshiro

Sagrel

It needs some more work but I'll say the after

This might be weird but i like the first for the shading of the face for express... (left side). but the belly lighter shade because lack of emtion. That said if you had to choose a side and can't go in between go left.

WiredRM

After does look more authentic to the source material, but I still like "softness" of Before more. The cel-shaded look is less... sexy and more cartoon-y? Maybe it'll be less jarring when in motion.

GreatM8SFM

They're supposed to be "harsh" because that's how animes are shaded, It's meant to replicate the actual style of the series

after for sure

left(old), right make's it look like it's more 2d. the old one look more realistic to me

ptor

cel-shading can be cool in static images, but in animation I prefer old style

Joe Hawkins

Much prefer the before to the after. Yes, definitely the before.

I like the after version, really nice shader you made

i prefer the new style

Hunter Mackey

The black lines make it so much better. If it isn't that much harder to do, i say switch it over.

Before is better imo.

Both are greatM8, but I would choose after

After 100 percent

I myself have always loved designs with outlines so the new version is better to me.

Leo

leeeeeft

Afrokage

Right definitely

The right one

Anonymous

I think the left for animations and the right for posters is nice since the outlines on the right one make it look more like the anime I think and the left looks more real. If I have to stick with just one then I would go for the before.

Agentx

After, I'd say. Don't know about in motion.

Left for animations right for posters/pinups

We'd have to see what the outline one looks like in motion tbh.

Ronald Morrison

First (Left) one. Feels and looks way more like YOUR style than the right one.

vinny8boberano

I'd have to agree. From the still shot, there are pro's and con's to both: 1 - P: Softer colors & shadows / C: Edges can look blurry, 2 - P: Sharper edges and higher contrast / C: Shadows & 'natural' edges can give incorrect position/proportion due to being too sharp

Anonymous

Both? Need to see an animation first

Alpha_Doom

Right, 100%

Caustic Hornet

I prefer the right one though I agree with the other comments that an animation, even a short one would help.

Saif-999

For me definitely the “after”

AngryS

The after 100%.

Kaiyeti

I would have to see both in animation but I am agreeing with Chae on this one. THe left one looks move natural when moving but the right one is great while still though again I would need to see the right one animated to be sure.

Anonymous

i like the left because it looks smoother and thus animation looks smother but the right is a great for an image but id love to see that style in animation to make a final judgement

Anonymous

Right! 100% for me!

Spectras

The one on the right for me

Biostar

Gotta say the right

Anonymous

I'm going to say before.

Mirumoto Tsubasa

The right side looks more like anime while the left is more 3d-looking. Both are good! I like the right, and I think it has less danger of veering into uncanny valley territory.

Ricardo

I like the right

織田 方

The left side is always your style

Eric P.

Right (the after side)

I love them both (but I'm bias as hell, Jirou is my favorite character), but I feel the one on the right is cuter

DeusInMachina

Before looks more realistic to me so that's the one I prefer.

Anonymous

I like the Before, but maybe the After could work for me better with similar shadowing like the Before

I love both but right is more cartoony, I think that's cooler

Ramon O'Sionnach

The "after" does feel more like the show

Jack Jagger

That looks great! I can't wait to see an animation with the new style of shading!

KuroKnight01

I like very much the second one but the first still has something that make me like it in a different way, but the colors and the contrast with the outline of the second one make it looks more bright i think

Anonymous

I prefer the before version if I'd have to pick one.

Anonymous

I dig after a lil more

Before

Paps

Oooh this is exciting! I love the new look

Gk

I like the 2nd one more than the first. I wouldn't mind seeing if some of the lining can be less thick on some parts though. I think the Ears on this one specifically benefit a lot from the outline, but the bottom seems a little dark.

cam

am i the only one that prefers the “before” version

Man, really hard to say. Both look good honestly.
