I'm in the middle of art style development. My goal is to make clean and expressive pictures. Please compare these two shading variants. Which one you like more and why? Please leave your opinion in the comments

Can see the appeal of both. The simplicity of the first one that is also closer to the source material, personally the one I lean towards in this question. Yet the second one has volume. Impactful details, that are shades highlighting the muscles in this case. Funnily enough, both have what you seek; the first's cleanness, the second's expressiveness. You got my answer, which would be most effective with Helltaker-content in the future.

You don't find the second one messy? Or the fist one dull?

Zuki

I find no such negative traits of both artstyles. The second one is just more detailed while the first is mint af.

Both definitely have their appeal, depending on what you want to bring accross I think the complex render fits NSFW artwork much better if done well, cuz it shows off the details of the body much better Celshading works great for example if you are designing a character/adopt, because the simple solid shading does not wash the colors too much, giving it more clarity

Zuki really hit the nail on the head. That being said, I like the right pic more than the left one

Opinion on the adopts is really useful, never thought about it like that. Thank you
