Which would you choose?

I must admit I'm drawn to certain styles, and so a particularly wacky or experimental style is going to be pretty hit or miss for me (which is to be expected; experimentation is always gonna be risky). I'd probably say don't try to be original for the sake of being original, and only go for that memorable, distinct art style if you have a distinct vision for what you're going for and you're convinced that using that style is the best way to achieve that :]

The only important thing is that the art style fits to the story and that is something that you have to feel and judge as
a creator. And that´s the direction you have to work towards. Look at your art and imagine if the style and your skills
fit to the story you want to tell

The most important thing is using sequential art and space-time for every panel, that's why comics it's a type form of art itself.

Sorry, I said something very obvious, lol.
I'm curious to see some samples of the styles you're experimenting on, tho, if you feel confortable in showing them.

Hi! @GingerLoge I actually haven’t tried that many since I’ve been busy with hospital things for days now. But here’s headshots of what I could sketch in the meantime lol. It’s embarrassing so sorry in advance.

yes!! I love when author draws them with big eyes and confused face lol

I might actually read a fantasy comic with this kind of style, if the characters are engaging and with a cool appearance.

I think that's an appealing style for something like a Fantasy, Drama or Romance (Het, BL, GL or any kind) that looks pretty manageable in detail level for a comic that updates regularly.
The only change I'd make would be to add a shadow or highlight to the eyes, particularly on that bottom character so that the eyes don't look too flat and glassy unless the intended effect with the flat shading and small pupils is to make him look unsettlingly cold and emotionally detatched (if that was the intention though, carry on!).

I honestly kind of dislike them…because they aren’t that expressive (I don’t know if artist’s personality bleeds through their arts but I’m the kind of people who avoid attentions as much as possible so all of my arts are kinda….dull ) The fact that I hate cel shading is not helping either. I want to try more dynamics linearts tho, with different thickness and more cartoony style. Because these styles (except the doodly one) are more appropriate for period drama in my opinion xD You are correct on the eyes, I actually gave up on the shading on all of them, I’m so bad at shading lol and I’ve seen some comics just using flat color like morgana and oz by miyuli I might have to aim for that level of simple coloring but pretty nice nonetheless lol. Thanks a lot!!

Thank you though I have no confidence in the cool looking part lmao
