Old style was inimitable, and made this my favorite web-comic by far. PLLLEASE go back to the old way, it was quality.

You could go both ways.  On long arcs like this, stay with this style.  On shorter ones you could go with your full color.

Honestly both styles are fine. Just stick to whatever you choose since only you yourself will know your own style. Personally I enjoy the pace of how often these comics are being cranked out with both a edge of quality and quanity, keep up the awesome work.

I personaly enjoy this new style better.

this is probably a flashback and we'll see a red spy sapped his sentry, and find out this whole arc was actually payback against the red team sapping his sentry to begin with

Do whatever makes you happy.  Draw in a style that you prefer, or make your fans happy.  Whatever brings you satisfaction. 
I'll keep on readin' because I enjoy it all. ^^

I just noticed this: in previous strip there were three lvl3 setries, no? Then where the check this lvl1 Lucy come from? Blu engi is hacker on steriods?

OH SHI-

I guess the next strip will be engie-norris remembering his happy moments with Susy, lol!

I say go for the style that makes you the happiest. At the end of the day, it's your comic and your choice, and either way people will still complain. So do what style you like, prefer and above all, enjoy. People will still read it regardless.

Keep the current style for now. To other readers, just remember this style doesn't disinclude females, only the arc does. I love seeing updates so often. That, or maybe switch off on different arcs. Tell short ones in the old style, long ones in this style.
Also, poor engi. ;_;

another comment from me just since I've noticed all these people talking about the style and to be honest I like both. This style seems more serious business and the other happy go lucky I think you could get away with mixing and matching it.

Try little longer with this style. The mix quantity/quality it's pretty cool.
Whathever you do man, you are never going to satisfy everyone.

Please I beg you, get back to your old style, it was so MUCH better !

It really made your webcomic unique and great...

Go back to the old style, it may have been slower but it was more fun :)

Ditch both styles and create something alltogether new. You can do it, it will make you a better artist and most of us are going to bitch anyway.

Well to help us compare, give us some of the girls in this new style. Also the old team. Then we can make a fair decision.

I love this new style, don't give it up!  It looks good, and if it helps you faster, all the better.  Keep up the good work :)

Lloyd007 and Anon have the right idea. New for drama. Old for humor.
Copy and paste if you agree
The Duke of Quakem

Both formats looks pretty good.
As for the next arc, do the X-Com. I'm pretty sure there are a lot of stories to tell from that good ol' game... specially from those damned rookies XD
MorbidMagpie
over 15 years ago
I don't really get why people see the new style as more "serious". Look at "There she is!" movies, they have a similar style, yet they're positive and lighthearted (some of them...). I do personally prefer  this style. I would find it interesting to see it evolve.

If possible, both is better; but if I had to choose, I would prefer the new sparsly colored style.  It feels more original / less derivative, IMO.
Anon
over 15 years ago
I concur; old style for humor, new style for drama.
lloyd007
over 15 years ago
I like the old style for the light hearted stuff but this new style certainly works for this arc. So my vote would be to use the old for the humor and the new for the drama.

Either style is fantastic, really. And as for new story, I say  go for the X-Com! Any of the three would be awesome, really!

Gamegeneral
over 15 years ago
Hey, if you can do the Tans in this style, I'd be glad to have a lack of color for more updates.
My only question is:
This style seems to be oriented for more drama than comedy.
Can you pull off funny in it?
Regal
over 15 years ago
Stay strong, Engineer. If Lucy could talk, she would tell you to go on without her,
because she would rather be sapped than become a burden to you.
Untouched_Shadow
over 15 years ago
I'd rather go with the old style. Not only because of the chicks (lol) but also because of the funny, light, cartoon faces they had, such as the scout.

I like both styles, but the style you used in the beginning is still my favourite.
tx16horton
over 15 years ago
i like the other one better just because its awsome (i bet some people will say old cause of the chicks XD)
no but the old way is funnyer and cooler
PSquared
over 15 years ago
I like both styles.
The old had familier characters and a fun, lighter tone.
The new one is more serious for a more serious story.
Do whichever you feel like, but I'd say use them both.
Tehfat
over 15 years ago
Old style was better its drawing looked a lot better than this imo.Maybe drawing like old style but keeping the less color mode of new style would be great you should try that with a new page.
Sage
over 15 years ago
I enjoy both styles myself. Seeing as you're the almighty maker of teh awesome comic, choose what suits you best! =D Either way good job on the win and keep it coming! :3

Don't Hate, Alternate.
Do both styles one after another so you can have arcs with high coloring followed by arcs of epic fast storytelling and so on
lynchy

i think you should do what you enjoy and ill love it anyway :3
But i think i need to see tf2-tans in this style before i make my own call :)
Roderick
over 15 years ago
I agree with Pimorte. Old style for more cheerful TF2 goofy (the usual) stories and new style for serious busines/4koma stories.
BrainXaber

To Mr. Author:
I think YOU should decide what format to take on next arc. I'll certainly enjoy any way you decide to take.

Can't you go back to old style :?
kommo1
over 15 years ago
The best way is, if you go the way YOU like.

I like both ways, so i would say, that you make sometimes this and sometimes that. But this is your desicion.

I sense that the engie is going to sacrifice himself to prevent this other engineer's sentry from being killed or something along those lines soon.

DarkEdge

I  have to say that I am enjoying this format less than the original format. However, alternating between styles is, like many have said already, a good idea. Just keep that inspiration coming and never stop! :P
Dedtoo

I suport the idea of different styles for different stories.
Pimorte
over 15 years ago
I vote for different art depending on the mood of the scripts.  This style suits the more serious tone of the current arc, but the original full colour style should be kept on for -tan arcs.
Alexnader
over 15 years ago
Old school nerfnow please. I really liked your artstyle.
THis one's pretty cool too though... howabout you mix them up depending on creative needs blah.
This one for story arcs, the old one for engy-tans etc :D

The spy is too French to live, he must be eliminated.

Also despite what most people are saying I enjoy the style, I also enjoy the class-tans so whichever you're in the mood for I say.

Stuperkidy

I'd suggest that you have different arcs with the different art styles.
For instance, this arc works well with this art style because it is a much more dramatic arc. The classic colour works well with more fun arcs and the random comics.
Offriender
over 15 years ago
Do this style, but with less updates. People get the same ol' Nerf Now they've been getting and you get to be lazy. Everyone wins!
:U
over 15 years ago
To be honest, I prefer this style for story arcs because of the speed at which you update. The story is more in-depth because you can move at a slower pace.

However, for filler or non-story arc, the old style is prefered.

So, both.
RangerClock
over 15 years ago
I have to say, I really prefered the old style better, this one just seems too...serious...
However, it's entirely your choice what style you pick, just please don't abandon the old style completly.
wabash
over 15 years ago
Guys, he is destroying his sentry to move up. Why else would he be crying? Also this style is good, I like updates every day.
Kamekamekame
over 15 years ago
Well, the "switching styles" idea has my vote. Pick a style based on what you feel like writing, I suppose. However, given my personal taste, I really like the old style more.

I completely agree with ladymage, alternating between styles retains versatility as well as gives you a way to reinforce what the general mood of an arc will be (though this could be good or bad if you're trying to keep the audiance guessing).
LadyMage
over 15 years ago
why not pick the style based on the arc you are writing at that moment, more intense arcs like this one: this current style is perfect
the more happy and funny arcs: the old style works for it
don't just go one way and stick with it when its obvious that you can do two different things
Antagon
over 15 years ago
Why not use both styles, depending on the comic?  Restricting one's self only breeds contempt.

Dammit Engineer, don't forget the pain and suffering that Spah caused you and your Sentry!
Even if innocents must be harmed, there is retribution to be had! Revenge to be sought!

Alternate between styles. It's always good for an artist to experiment!
Wazzle
over 15 years ago
I'm not sure why everybody hates this style so much. I guess they just need their "hot" chibi girl fix or something >_>. I mean, I liked your old style, funny and sometimes emotional, but I really like this toned-down color scheme yet increased awesomeness. My vote goes to the new style.

I can't even tell what you're writing about right now. Granted, may be because i never actually played the game, but the past few strips have as much of a story line to me as if you'd just mixed together random images that have nothing to do with each other.
