Comic/Sketch Style - (COMMISSION)

This artistic style focuses on strong, expressive linework and a hand-crafted, textured finish.
Both the color version and the sketch version share three defining traits:

1. Thick, bold lineart that gives forms a heavy presence.

2. Angular, sharp, dynamic shapes that create energy and motion.

3. A grainy, speckled texture that adds a vintage, tactile, almost printed-comic feel.

The color style emphasizes bold outlines combined with stylized anatomy, cel-shaded lighting, and soft gradients over a muted palette. It leans toward a graphic novel look, with dramatic lighting and a hand-drawn aesthetic:

The sketch style instead focuses on rough strokes, dynamic scribbles, and a loose, expressive draft quality. It often uses a monochrome or limited palette—like a blue pencil or ink wash—while still keeping thick, angular lines and grainy noise:

Both styles feel energetic, gritty, handcrafted, and expressive, with the difference mainly in color complexity and refinement.
Together, they form a flexible aesthetic that can shift from polished comic illustration to raw, energetic sketching while maintaining a unified visual identity.
