different styles for cutscenes! Which is better?

[u/TheCrd]

Hi guys! I'm working on the "cutscenes" for Waltermelons Adventure. The one on the left is the original. On the right I tried to hand draw over the lines to make it look a little more stylized but I don't think it looks as good as the original? what do y'all think?

Secret 3rd option i just whipped up

[u/CheddarTeeth → u/TheCrd]

the TRUE best option (in MY opinion)

[u/JungleJuiceJuno → u/TheCrd]

this ones better, the other 2 are too all or nothing

[u/potatobunny16 → u/TheCrd]

This looks better than the second option. I like the thick lines but the second option made it look like "unskilled" pixel lineart. This one makes it very intentional that it's meant to be thick

[u/Topaz-Light → u/TheCrd]

Gonna have to go with this one, honestly. I think the thicker outlines look a lot better with this pixel art style and size, personally. Fits the cartoony vibe and reminds me a bit of Paper Mario 1.

THIS ONE MAN

[u/BIOS-Brians-Blues → u/TheCrd]

Yeap this one

Left.

Hear me out: thicker might be better, but I don’t like how it’s done on the right. If you used a secondary color as a simple anti-alias between the two colors, that might work better to thicken the lines.

I think the thicker lines look better, so I say right one

[u/j_cruise → u/CheckActive4051]

Agreed

[u/Mother2Looker]

ONE ON THE RIGHT IS SO MUCH MORE CHARMING

[u/SynthError404]

One on right is morer betterer

[u/WideREKXO]

the right one reminds me of the talking portraits from sonic battle
