Style change

As you'll notice starting with pages 11 and 12. The style in which i draw Spiddrelli has shifted. Moving from a clean-cut sharp style to a very rough pen-draft style.
Why?
Well, while i'm still drawing pages for the first chapter, there really is quite alot of action in Spiddrelli.
The old way i drew the pages made my drawings way too stiff. I felt that they seems awkward and forced at times.
The reason for this new style gives me three bonuses, 1) they're easier and faster to draw, 2) they let me stay loose, so that the drawings don't get too stiff. 3) The style is unique, instead of staying with traditional comic storytelling where clean, straight lines rule. These haphazard shaky lines can at times convey emotion far better.
well, enough of my rambling. I plan to start working on pages again soon. Toodles.
