'Not A Villain' Webcomic - Kleya and Danni enter a pretty area.

‘Not A Villain’ Webcomic – Page 218

Oh, hey, new art style.

Which, of course, makes Danni’s and Kleya’s avatars look reeeaaaally bad in contrast. lol So, for the vote incentive, I altered their avatars so they didn’t stick out so bad.

EDIT: Oh, btw, I’ll be at LTUE next week. If you’re in the area, come and say hi!

Oh! Wish their avatars would always look like in the vote incentive! At least while in the Game.

Oh wow, what a beautiful landscape! Also, I love the characters’ art style in the vote incentive! I understand leaving them as they are since they’re both amateur-ly drawn, but a little shading goes a long way!

Lovely landscape.

I think the little extra shading you added in the incentive is exactly what it needs.
Cartoony characters in a more realistic world, its being done all the time. It would also inforce the ‘game’ idea.

The flat L.i.F.e. style is a bit too ‘papercut’-like perhaps? This shading is just enough to distinquish between L.i.F.e. and The Game.

And of course Kleya’s body is on high alert already. Don’t actually blame her at this point considering who her other team mates are.

The shading does help the characters fit into the scene. There’s still a contrast between the outline drawing style of the avatars and the watercolor style of the scenery, but that’s fairly common in anime as well.

I seem to recall that shading on the avatar was lef to the avatar’s artist, though… Does the Game have extra functionality in that area?

I actually like the stark contrast in the comic…It’s not like porting a model and texture from one program to another would give it a boost in graphical quality.

Any idea on why Kleya finds it odd?

One thought was that D wasn’t available but her reaction to the boys seems like D is there.

Maybe she doesn’t like the colors?

Maybe she was expecting to land in a different region, or was expecting everyone else to already be there.

I’m thinking that she sees it as incomplete in some regards

Caught up finally to a tonne of chapters. Amazing work you’ve been putting in here Aneeka. Loved the reality scenes and everything so far. Looking forward to more!
