Artist's Comments

I'm usually pretty terrible at shading.. so i thought i would give it another go.
It's difficult to make it not look dramatic, but after Paul helped me by telling me to remove some of the more human shaded parts, im quite happy with the result.

Not sure which of these is better, i think i prefer the one on the right for animation, but the one on the left for drawings and stuff.. but what do you guys think?

I agree. The one on the right looks way better for animation. And the other shading would look better suited as drawings. :]

I prefer the one on the right. It looks better, stronger in appearance than the one in left.

We artists definitely think along the same lines.

I agree. I think it might be a little more difficult to use soft shading in animation than shading that's more crisp. Also, I know it's just the soft shading that's blurred, but it makes it appear just slightly that Edd on the left is thrown out of focus.

Exactly what you say to greet the season is irrelevant, just so long as it's spoken with the passion and sincerity it deserves.

You should defiantely go with the crisp 'cell-shading' effect; it gives the shadows more definitition.

I agree, right for animations and left for drawings
