I can really let the rendering get away from me sometimes. One of these renders went WAY faster (granted, I had done it several times by that point, but still). It's often true that less is more, but it's hard to hold myself to that sometimes.

So which version do you like better? The elaborate shading or the simpler cel-shaded style?

The first as there looks to be more definition to the top layer of clothing. In the second it all blends together.

Ben

As a stand alone piece I prefer the first one. The second one looks more "web comic" to me.

Josh Stories

I like the first one better.

Aaron Bredon

The elaborate version looks better on close examination, but at first look, I asked "where did she get the black eye?"

Atomic Ink

I like the cel shade, but they both look great. It's really just preference.

Lord of Nightmares

I think the highlights on Aaren's skin and weapon are best int he first pic, but the more subdued clothing works better from the second, more like cloth than leather.

Paqs

I like the elaborate shading better

Lucien Nailo

I'm with the majority of other comments. The elaborate shading is my favorite.

First image of the two. As they all keep telling me when painting miniatures "Higher highlights, deeper shadows."

Cap E. Bara

The first/elaborate shading is nicer. Does it take much longer to do?
