Poll results are in!

First I want to thank everyone that participated by voting or commenting in last week's poll about which illustration style you liked better.  Before I get to the final results I wanted to explain why I had the poll. In my other life time (before I had kids) I used to be involved with focus groups to test user interfaces, navigation and design for web sites. I was always amazed by some of the findings, and learned that for successful design you cannon create in a bubble, you need to always get other's opinions.

I have been creating in my studio (my bubble) for quite some time, and sometimes my objectivity gets a little skewed, so I decided to have a poll and conduct my own little focus group. The results basically corroborate what I think...which is a strong preference for the acrylics and ink. However, as Eric suggested, I will not limit my options to only one medium. If I can translate my style to different mediums successfully, I think it would help my marketability.  In other words, I have a long road ahead of me. 

Thanks again everyone...you really helped me get some perspective!

I am taking a poll

DIGITAL                                   Vs.                     ACRYLICS AND INK

I am posting two versions of the same illustration as an exercise I did this week. I worked from an existing sketch and both illustrations took me about the same time to finish. I would love to see what people out there like better, the clean, crisp edges from the digital piece, or the more rough around the edges look from the painted version.
