Description just a little update of a few old-ish pictures...
the paint ones were done in February and the nicer ones were done this month
I'm (slowly) working on illustrations for a childrens book I've written and just sort of 'finalised' the girls designs c:

These are both great styles ^w^
I very much like the softness in the colours and the sharp curves of the old design as well as the thin coloured outlines! The new style is far brighter and stands out more against the white background, I love the unique and cartoonlike style of shading and how round and bubbly the characters are c: the younger looks and deviation from correct anatomy in the newer designs is very much more appealing to children, ah im a sucker for round cartoon styles ;w;
Amazing work! :3

I love the concept of all of them!!!
The art is clean and fluid!!!
To tell you the truth i like both versions but the resent one definable seems like a younger
cartoonier version the first one has a older feel and style
Honestly both are amazing and great!!
Good luck with the writing and publishing deal

Thankyou!!
I used to think the older ones were good enough for kids but now the new ones are right next to em I feel like the definitely were too 'old' for a childrens book >w>
thankyou though, I'm glad you like them both! ;u;

the newer versions definitely have a more kid friendly feel.
the lines are more flowing and the facial features are curved more and look cuter~ The colour pallet is very vibrant and adds depth. ^-^
I really like it! Nicely done

I was hoping more cartoon-y than anime-y, looks like I pulled it off!
thankyou so much!!

To be quite honest the old versions scared me a little such pointy, bordering on witch like features ; - ;
I like how 'kid friendly' the newer ones are, very easy on the eyes, a sense of fluidity is more present.

I think I agree with you, I'm really happy with the newer ones myself, especially the kid friendly factor~ the old ones do look very witchy and not the cartoony I wanted them to be >.>

To be honest, I think the initial style is much cuter.

Mhm! You could try shading it like you did the second one, which is nice too, but mostly just reminds me of Love is, or something. Which isn't bad, but I feel there's more originality in your more pointy-nosed ladies, and since I think you sort of hinted its for a childrens book, I suppose you could consider getting rid of their physique? But that's entirely your call. 8)

I might give it a go then, just to see how it looks at least... I'm open to ideas, I want this to look good ;u;
I'm not sure what 'love is' orz
By getting rid of their physique, you mean similar to the newer style, but keeping like, the faces of the old ones? Mixing them up a bit?

www.loveisfan.com/images/lovei… Love is a coloring book a lot of kids I know grew up with 8) ))

But yeah! I'm flattered you're open to hearing what I have to say! 
And, well if this is a childrens book, and you want the girls to be child-aged, I meant more getting rid of breasts. 
Though about combining them, I really like the shading in the newer ones, so if you were to mix it up, I'd at least give the older ones their faces, and maybe the more childlike bodies and coloring like in the new one.

That moment when you can easily tell which season is which by just looking at them... No explanation needed. I also see a huge improvement between the old and new versions.

All in all, great work, keep it up.
