Once again I’m asking you; scribbly or polished?

@shadows_killer @heyheymomo
Exactly this! The desk in the last panel is more adorable in the scribbly version than the polished one, which looks to me to be too crisp and mathematical.

Also I love the lilypad carpet in the third panel, and I appreciate how the carpet in the fourth panel is different.

Either way though your art is wonderfully warm and magical, and brings a ray of sunshine that we all desperately need. Thank you!

@heyheymomo I'm a polished.

[flatfootfox@hachyderm.io]

@heyheymomo Both look good! I lean a little more scribbly these days, but I'd try quietly postin' a bit of each and seeing if anyone notices.

[spacewizard@mas.to]

@heyheymomo I voted scribbly but I do like them both a lot

[torb@hachyderm.io]

@heyheymomo I feel extremely strongly that you should go with whatever *you* like and you feel is most representative of *you*.

I don’t really see either as more ‘polished’ in a wider sense of the world. They’ere just two ever so slightly different styles.

@heyheymomo Voted scribbly last time but I think I prefer polished this time (or today, idk)

@heyheymomo
Amd once again I still can't decide. Maybe polished? In between?

[b_rain@troet.cafe]

@heyheymomo Definitely scribbly! Looks more lively and human

@heyheymomo This is hard to choose, both look really great. I think I mostly prefer the scribbly one, but there are some elements in the frames/composition that I prefer from the polished one.

I hope my reply isn't too detailed, also keep in mind this is just my personal opinion, but:

Frame 1: definitely scribbly, because it's more zoomed out, it has a sun and looks less cramped.

Frame 2: the scribbly house (the face on it looks cuter) and the cloud (the polished one looks more like a star?), but I'd add the bushes from the polished one.

Frame 3: this is difficult! I think generally the scribbly one. but personally it bothers me that the door and window are very different from the 2nd frame (proportions, the door doesn't have the small arched window on top, the window has too many panels)

Frame 4: scribbly one (the laptop looks better. In the polished one I don't get what the blue strip on the monitor is supposed to be and the mouse looks too circly), but I think I prefer the lily pad from the polished one over the blue carpet, fits more to the frog theme and to frame 3.

In any way I love this comic, it's super cute and it made me start the day with a smile Thank you for making these comics!

@heyheymomo polished but with all details from scribbly

[heyheymomo@socel.net]

Thanks for all the feedback everyone

[andolamin@lgbtqia.space]

@heyheymomo I think the polished version here benefited from the tweaks to the layout but I like the style of the scribbly version better

[merula@masto.nu]

@heyheymomo I like the scribbly lines! But in the polished version I like the offset tree branches in panel one, and the little bush beside the house in panel two.

Dick Bruna, the maker of Miffy, said:

“Het gaat om een bepaalde bibber (…) Een goede lijn heeft een goede bibber. Maar die goede bibber vind ik wel het allermoeilijkste. In die bibber zit de tekenaar verborgen.”

‘It's about a certain wobble (...) A good line has a good wobble. But that good wobble is the hardest part for me. The artist is hidden in that wobble.’

@merula god he was so right

[theeclecticdyslexic@mstdn.social]

@heyheymomo I like the composition of the polished stuff more, mostly, but I like the squiggles themselves more than the clean lines.

@heyheymomo SCRIBBLY PLEASE NEVER NOT BE SCRIBBLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[heyheymomo@socel.net]

@cheekynuttybuns ok ok I’m sorry for asking!!!!
