@davidrevoy You style is definitely European (if there is such a thing per se, but I hope anyone reading things forgive me that vagueness) and I think this is the first time a character made me think of anime.

I think it’s the ears. I wouldn’t have reacted if it was a goblin with those ears, but it’s definitely more Deedlit than Galadriel.

Curious of how this came to be:) Personally I like the mix, and generally like the slow mixing of influences from around the world.

@davidrevoy I think that if you start categorizing art, and you start getting more specific as you go along. In the end you will end up with David Revoy, this Thursday.

That’s your actual art style. It’s not the same as Wednesday or Friday’s. All art styles are unique.

And on the flip side, as a consumer I either like it or not. That’s it.

So I think a lot of people just overthink it. Because they are probably not liking or disliking the anime/manga style. They like or dislike certain ones.

I mean not all Japanese comic art is moe, some are abstract or harsh.

So that’s a long way of saying that your style is yours, and for us that likes it it’s great. I love the mix of styles and influences because that’s how *all* art comes to be.

Also I love the whole European folklore turn Sword and Sorcery turn into a Japanese thing. From Deedlit to Frieren :)

I mean who had a fit when Tolkien didn’t exactly follow old Norse elves after all?

Keep doing your thing, it works :)
