Lets try this again: Would you read a comic that looks like this? (+Promo comics with unique style)

[azzy-m]

I'd probably click on it if showed up while I'm looking through fresh based on the art, and I'll read a few episodes to see if I'm interested. I don't usually drop comics, so I'll probably read it.

Then why not do a simple poll? I don't get why someone asks a forum full of artists if they like a specific style and then expects only a yes or no answers. Art is subjective yes, and you either like or dislike something, but wouldn't they like to know why people love or hate their art? How are they ever going to improve their craft if it can't be critiqued?

[DualDragons]

I think they are quite new to the forums and therefore do not know how to make a poll yet

[gempompadour]

Oh right, I forgot that not everyone lurks here for months before commenting

I have no problem with non-anime styles, but in thus case it's just not my aesthetic. I approve of trying new things, though, and appreciate the mixed media approach! I also think your example is much better in this thread than the last one for communicating the hypothetical style.

I will add that I agree with you about not giving unsolicited critiques, however I think it's a very reasonable misunderstanding for someone to give you feedback on their thoughts about your style in a thread asking for feedback about your style. It wasn't a bad faith crit, it was just one that caught you off guard do to miscommunication/understanding.

I hope that everyone will let it go as a misunderstanding. It's hard to shake off a bad interaction, and everyone continuing to push it won't help you acclimate to our forums.

literally what SleepingPoppy just asked to stop.

[Prometheus]

I would read it. It depends a lot on the story, but I like the look of it.

[JRHoch]

********************** No, I wouldn't.

[buttersphere]

I would give it a try sure. The mixed media does fascinate me so I would read the first couple pages to see if it would hook me in.

I have more to say in regards to what happened in the previous thread but I'll respect your wishes and leave it at this.

Thank you for sharing!

[nostalgicroxas]

No. It looks too much like the artwork currently on Disney and Cartoon Network (ie Gravity Falls). Not my preference.

[VibrantFox]

I'd definitely read it, the premise seems interesting and I've been hoping to stumble upon more interesting abstract styles like this. It may not please every persons palette but I'm very curious

[gh0stcr33p]

some people are just being blatantly rude here. what the op said was clear and in no way aggressive. you don't need to be passive-aggressive or hostile just because you don't understand where they're coming from. (I'm sorry if I'm coming off as irritated, I just think a lot of the responses are uncalled for, and I can empathize with the op with being autistic and have quite a few self esteem issues personally).

for myself, I would be open to reading a comic in this style. it's nothing jarring and I normally don't only follow stories that use any particular styles. (but yeah, personally the manga style is an exception with me as it isn't in my interest when reading webcomics).

[BobbyjoeX]

it depends on the actual plot since i will read anything with any style, also dont worry about the ppl on here, some are kinda touchy, i should know, i pissed off A LOT of people on here

[basil_kunn]

I normally stick to anime-style comics, but I do love the 80s Sci-fi aesthetic, monsters AND labyrinths, so I would give this a try

And for comics that are non-anime style with textures, I have read quite a few. The first one that pops into my head is Lore Olympus, and then there's Always Human which has a bit more anime influence, but very textured. I remember Spy Beat as being a kinda vintage-style comic with textures. And then Salamism, which also has a bit more anime influence, but it's very textured. That's all I can really think of right now, but I hope that helps for reference.

[jcmraz]

No. I would elaborate but you don't want that. Creative endeavors are going to be hard to break into in a public space without the ability to take criticism. Just a heads up. Make a poll next time if you want only a yes or no response.

[rajillustration]

There really isn't enough information given to say if I'd lean either way. Probably not?

[TAMAnnoying]

My biggest problem with this entire ordeal is that it’s impossible to just say “no.”

Character limit.

[Eightfish]

I think people are empathizing more with darthmongoose, who put a ton of effort into trying to help someone but was totally shut down, than with sky-chau, who reacted in a way most people can't imagine themselves doing. But being rude back isn't going to do anything positive (I would know lol, I have mistakenly given in to the temptation in the past, and it never helped and always made me feel worse).

Though I do agree with the people saying that sky-chau might be happier staying off the forums. If they don't want criticism then they won't change anything in the comic after posting this, right? So they might as well just draw what they like and trust that there will be readers that like the same things they do.

[OttoGruenwald]

Sort of weird request you got there. You're asking for someone to give their take on your work--but not too much. I don't think that's a good way to be. People have said my comic and story is trash. That's harsh, but if someone hates something odds are there are reasons. People said I overdid exposition in issue 1 and now I'm dialing it back and focusing on character development, and I honestly think the comic is better for it.

But to answer your question, no. I wouldn't read a comic that looks like that.

Anyway, my own comic is The Power of Stardust, a superhero comic about reimagined public domain characters. It's style is based on the Outer Limits.

Just judging from that one picture I'd say probably not because I feel it's kinda hard for me to see what's happening. But from what I understand the picture was just to give an example so maybe that'd be different in the actual comic. If yes, then I'd still give it a try.
