Description TRAVEL IN STYLE: Part 3 of 10

NOTE: Just in case there was any confusion, this is NOT a time-travel arc. Seth is in the same place and time, just viewing it in different styles.

COMMENTARY: This particular art style is the one I used for the first 62 comics of the rebooted SC series. When I rebooted the series, I was aiming for a more 3D look to the comic but after a while I came across two problems. 1) It looked just a little to moody and serious for the tone of the series and 2) The shading was taking up more time than I thought a daily-updated comic should take.

STYLE IN ACTION:
Chapter 1: Ed's Introduction [link]
Chapter 2: Welcome to Circle City [link]
Chapter 3: Roommates [link]
Chapter 4: Andy Begins [link]

Have to admit. It is a cool style though.

It would work for a more serious story, I think.

Interesting, I dig the shading, though I agree, as cool as the darker tones do look, they don't quite fit with the comic vibe.

i remember this one, and you're right, compared to the upgrades you've done, it was a little gloomy!

I think warmer colors make for a more light-hearted story
(although I'm beginning to wonder about my own tactics because the next story arc "Now and Then" isn't really very light-hearted, lol)

you could always play with lighting instead of changing the entire feel of the color scheme

Not to give anything away, but there's an in-story reason behind this arc and why I haven't shown any teasers of anything after it.

Wow, I never really gave much thought to how dark this style was.

It's more obvious when you compare it to the brighter comics.
