Style Critiques (Now with Next Preview!)

Hand-drawn or CGI. If you started with a blank screen or sheet of paper, it's cool to post it here! Please note - this forum is for posting drawings, not links to external sites.

Should I use this style for my next project?

Style Critiques (Now with Next Preview!)

UPDATE NOTE: Go further down for the new picture!

After hours of scrutinizing all six of the Scott Pilgrim books and making copy-pastas of countless panels to practice, I think I've come up with a reasonable facsimile of Brian Lee O'Malley's art style that is used in the books.
I wanted to get some feedback here before I went all-in on another project, which is also quicksand (or rather, fucmuk) related.

Sorry for the rather cruddy picture, I don't have access to a scanner at the moment.
Answer the poll or comment with your critiques -- all feedback is greatly appreciated :D

This board is subject to a lot of default positive response bias, so of course you're gonna get a lot of yes answers here, but I actually think your style is more appealing than the Scott Pilgrim art style. This coming from a SP fan himself.

I recommend you go with your own unique style of drawing for your next project, and I like how you drew the woman in your drawing... her facial expression is great, her hairstyle simple, and I personally like how you drew her legs nice and thick.

I like you choice of attire for her... casual wear with snug short shorts to show off her legs. I also like how you drew the mud... it has a nice thick, heavy look to it, and you did a good job with the curved lines around her thighs to depict the mud cratering and yielding to her weight and struggles. Her thick legs look to be stuck fast and tight in the mud as she slowly sinks deeper and deeper, and the expression on her face confirms this.

Thanks for sharing!

You're offering to produce quicksand art and post it here? I'm sold!

For what it's worth, I do like the style of the sketch, and would love to see more.

And speaking of things I'd love to see more of, I really like your avatar picture, too.

Glad you like it! Thanks for the feedback :)

I'll put a little bit here, most of my stuff is on my DeviantArt.

Unfortunately, I only colored that picture... There's not a good chance I'll do any more with it.

Love your artwork. If that is just a sketch, what could the polished version be like? :D

Thanks :) The finished version will likely be a lot more... "fuc"-y... If you know what I mean.
Of course, I now have the difficulty of deciding what style I'll actually be doing for this--I've received convincing feedback for both options.

Go with the one you are most comfortable with, then see what transpires. :D

Having received convincing arguments in both directions, I've opted to go with a bastardization of the both...
