On Changing Things Up a Little

thought this would be something interesting to talk about anyways

[@Beulraeki]

Draw whatever you want. If you are comfortable with this style, then go for it!

[@sheinaragners]

no.

[@Beulraeki]

Hardest check

[@dawnopal2498]

I agree with this

[@lilytheeverchaotic]

@@sheinaragners …. Rude.

[@aruraven]

The artstyle development arc is my favorite of this series.

[@teally-bop]

Mine too! It added so much to the storytelling

[@PinkSneaselGirl]

I believe someone's art style should be constantly evolving, changing ever so slightly as they improve their skills and find methods they like better. Don't ever apologize for your art style changing, that just means you are growing as an artist.

[@tryingartist42]

I like the change! And even if for whatever reason I didn’t that wouldn’t matter because you’re the artist and you should get to change things up as much or as little as you want, but again I think the changes are all really nice

[@BumbleTus]

Artists should never be "locked in" to a style! Excited to see what you make :D

[@birch_thetree1905]

I actually really like the new art style better than the “old” one. It looks a lot more polished and pretty.

[@miragracestudios5104]

As someone who has loved and watched you for a long time, I say that these changes are pretty neat! What you explained makes sense, and I do like the differences!

[@Cai_the_traveler]

Art is complicated. Change is needed for growth. All that being said, I love the new style! Keep up the wonderful work!

[@confused.ratzos]

I really like colored outlines of characters. Feel free to keep experimenting with different character styles. I love these videos. Thank you for continuing to post.

[@starfinney6308]

All the changes u have done just seem like an organic growth & development of an artist expanding the dynamic range of tools in their toolbox. It feels v right & cool to see your playing w/ shapes for characters especially!

[@weshygirls2563]

I like the new detail and with new styles makes the stories more alive and save Moonkitti the trouble of burnout.

[@hiuslanka6897]

I really adore the soft look your videos have been having lately!! its nice that you feel comfortable enough to be changing it around to your own preference

[@meowingcookie395]

Video 27 of asking Moon to make a Brackenfur video

[@JustAGrook]

lmao yes

[@honkinmarz1650]

Honestly, I really like the style change. It’s big enough to make a difference, but similar enough to still be recognizable as moonkitti’s art. It’s nice to look at.

[@cryptid6279]

ive loved the changes that you made! very very pretty

[@zainkhurshid6614]

I think adding the colored outlines make the characters look more calming and they don't pop out really making you look only at them and I like that.

[@puuketo8315]

I really like the changes, its unique and cute. I've always drawn my style similar to yours as I improved on drawing. ig youre just an inspiration to me

[@MegaMixter]

Do what you want, Moonkitti! You're very talented and it really shines through in the content you make. If you like this new style then embrace it! I definitely love it too.

[@darknessproductions2119]

While I'm very fond of the old style it was an experiment at one point just like this will be, and the important thing is that you feel good about what you're drawing and comfortable enough to make changes

[@kalanlancaster6362]

The Bumblestripe sprite is so cute.

[@Annonimous1000]

I honestly love both styles! The new one looks similar to the style you use in your paintings/speedpaints with a nice blend of your classic cartoon style!

[@aspen1713]

Cool to see and hear your thoughts on this style evolution! :) I’ve definitely noticed some of the changes, but I’d always just thought you had extra time that to add more thoughtful details (like coloured line arts, multiply layers, etc). Looking forward to seeing the next step in Monkitti evolution!

[@mayhemtm]

I think the new stuff looks great ! It’s always fun to see people experiment with their styles , I’ve been doing the same lately ! Do what you think feels good , we love it !

[@SketchUT]

I’ve adored your style before and I adore it now! Do whatever you want with or without reasoning, it’s your style, your videos, your life 💛

[@rayvenrubi]

i love the change! i myself was even playing around with character designs earlier. it's a very fun and incredible thing to do and i'm excited to see you doing it!!!

[@PixylMawthz]

I really like seeing the new style and Im glad youre finding something that youre able to enjoy more and develop through, its honestly a lot of fun to watch this journey. Best of luck!!

[@foxley5374]

It's always interesting to hear the reasoning behind an art style or style change. I look forward to seeing future developments too!

[@kaleidoscooope_nerd]

I used to watch your videos ALL THE TIME for my art references. You helped me learn to draw eyes and legs for my cats and it was awesome. Your art always inspires me and I’m glad to see you’re still working on making it better. I hope it works out!

[@650Massive]

I like the old style but at 2:30 AHHHH THE NEW FROSTPAW IS SO CUTE

[@reptarbar5977]

i’m loved seeing you grow as a creator throughout the years and this is no exception!! i’m glad you’re expanding and experimenting- do whatever makes you happy and we’ll all be happy too

[@cryptidkoi8418]

I love the old style, it feels so nostalgic to me- but now it feels even more nostalgic

[@Ashcloud3228]

Moon, you do you! Art is something we all do differently and you can change it if you want. Don’t let any criticism hit you hard, we love you and your videos! Keep going, you got this!

[@jungle_flora]

I think the change is great and it's great to see your style evolving over time. We'll love your content no matter what style :D

[@SierraNevada2]

I think it looks great! you have improved a lot and, artists go through different art styles so if its the style you like go with it!!

[@citrisaurora1182]

I changed my artstyle a couple years ago for the same basic reason. Now I have probubly hundreds if not over a thousand combinations of parts. I look forward to see how yours turns out as you alter them. Edit: I calculated just individual head parts put together. IT'S OVER 47 BILLION!!!

[@akiriith]

I like the new artstyle but I think I prefer the dark lines, the "sticker" feel of it was always a staple of your channel (the colored lines feel great for still images tho). I'll miss the bigger eyes but I see what you mean! Ultimately tho, I've always enjoyed seeing your style grow and change and even the stuff that feels a bit jarring for me is still pretty as heck, it's already growing on me. Any creator should not need to stick themselves in a box due to expectations from their followers/viewers, and you absolutely should go for what makes you happiest! Looking forward to see you get to that point you're fully happy with your ""new"" style

[@erinwoolbright816]

Honestly love the changes and believe that good artists are always improving and changing, but whatever makes you happy makes us happy!! I think they look amazing either way! 😍 uber excited to see the changes in future videos!

[@galaxydeathskrill5607]

Love the colored outlines, and the new art style! I'm glad you decided for a development

[@Badgerfrost_Draws]

Whatever you decide, it’s going to look amazing! I love your videos and never forget that loads of people love your videos!

[@FirecrackerTNT]

I love the new style!! It’s close enough to your old one to remain recognizable, but looks a lot more polished and fun (both fun to draw, and more entertaining to see characters designed differently)

[@meadowskip8999]

I like your new style a lot this video really show's how you've grown as an artist!

[@scorpio7051]

I’ve actually been enjoying the art change it makes everything look so much more polished and nice :)

[@Annamations3110]

I adore the new style :D (Also, do whatever you feel is best!)

[@TheRibottoStudios]

I love your style and to see it incorporated in your short videos is great! It's so cute.

[@SS-op9wt]

Hell yeah! This adjustment still really suits you and registers as your signature style. Your improvement is very noticeable

[@hollypaw227]

As someone's who's style falls into a similar trap, I totally understand what you're talking about, I've been trying to do the same thing with my drawings

[@pugget_nugget3232]

i love the newer style and the older one! they’re both awesome and i wish i could animate/draw like you do!

[@aris1869]

Wanting to change your tactics means your growing and learning as an artist. I salute you for choosing progress over constancy o7!

[@swiftyoooo]

Do whatever you want! Its ur videos, ur styles, and personally im liking the most recent changes more than older videos

[@zephyreon4]

I love the new style and am so glad you are experimenting!!

[@novaisonyoutube]

I can appreciate the explanation- not because I had a problem but bc I love knowing the reasons behind artistic choices. It's fun!

[@TempestFNG]

I was noticing the new style, and I think it looks incredible! Your style was always awesome but I really like the changes!!

[@soggyfrenchfries8964]

I definitely understand your change! I love your new art style and the colored line artwork looks great! If you need some time to figure out your art style, take it!

[@xenonentity]

the new style is super cute! especially the colored lineart

[@-VoDkAsVengeance-]

I enjoy the change! It seems like shorthand versions of the characters using shape language and such, rather than just a "trying to get it down" doodle the series started with.

[@medd-lee]

it looks pretty great to me as someone who hasn't fully been paying attention, looks like you're just improving and being able to add more variation is incredibly great for you and your enjoyment if your own work!

[@gemcrew1479]

I love it! It’s so cute! Draw however you want! Express what makes you happy! That’s what KZbin is for!

[@mellowmooon]

I love the new art style! It looks so cool!

[@kirikat9365]

Art styles grow with the artist, so changes to your norm are ultimately a good thing. Congrats on your growth Moon!

[@Neon_Swing]

It's really cool to watch your art evolve ^^

[@teally-bop]

I like the new style! I think it's cute while still being really clean and readable. And if it's more comfortable for you, then that's all that really matters! 😁😁😁

[@rhaenyslys]

I looooooooooove the new style so much! Both styles are super cute but this one just… something about it is soooo cute!! I love it!!!

[@Anne-wf1vo]

I think this is great :) Nifty Senpai, Bok Bok Choy and Beffalumps are also really good references for distinct character design, it's lovely.

[@lindsaysherwin6407]

I honestly love this change it still looks amazing your style is still going to be amazing no matter how you do it and I’ll always watch your content no matter what

[@iPitafish]

Heck yeah, Moon, play in your space! It's fun to see what directions you want to take in your videos.

[@criesincowboy9629]

Your new style looks fantastic!!!

[@erm_actshually650]

I think your style is super pretty! I can relate to this, becouse it gets boring to draw the same style, over & over again.

[@angel_wingz44]

I really like the new art style Moon! It's very nice!

[@chicade5449]

Beating same face syndrome is a pain in the butt but you will be very happy once you start getting good results so good luck, I look forward to seeing how your style developes!

[@littleskatey577]

Hell yea! Even though I will always adore the older style, I'm always open to change!

[@Hadeshy]

Dovewing 2016 VS 2022: Ah. Indeed. I can see her eyes have changed colours (joking ofc) To be honest, while I will "miss" the old style because it was fitting with the "humour" type extremely well, I also love the new one, and it's not like videos with the old style are no longer available. We'll all get used to the new one eventually. It's only natural that your style evolved, nobody's style stay the same throughout the years.

[@Lionloverky]

Good for you Moonkitti, one can not grow as an artist without changing their style a little bit here or there.

[@MisterMistopher]

I personally really like the new direction of the videos! I still find the old style very charming, but like you said, this new style looks a lot more distinctive

[@vogitek]

I like the change!! It's very cute :)

[@themulchmuncher1111]

Honestly Moon, do what you want with your art! It's your channel and your art style, go ahead and have fun with it. I'm not leaving anytime soon :3

[@deeptnt3399]

The change is noticeable but nice, but in the end it's your choice on what artstyle you want to draw.

[@sarkythewolf3931]

I think it all looks amazing Yass queen

[@M3RK_Crash]

It looks really good, but I also really miss the eyes that weren’t perfect circles and comically large. But it all boils down to what you want to do.

[@nearlynight]

i love the newer style a lot! i think it looks more refined in general and allows for a lot more.. fun? with the designs!!

[@jetwingsdaydream]

I like the new lines! They’re pretty!!

[@eckoreckofantasy]

Go for it! I love your new style, and making unique silhouttes is hard..

[@Miss_Prowlheart]

I stopped watching moonkitti when the style changed but now i see that they just changed their style because they liked it better this way :) i have been re-summoned, my moonkitti phase will re-start, but this time updated

[@snowheart4077]

I actually like your new art style It looks cuter!

[@krdt1111]

I like the old style, but I understand why

[@CelesteTreecat]

Count me in the 'I like the new art style!' ... glad that you're engaged in it though and thanks for sharing your thought processes here~

[@StarLupus]

Draw however and whatever you want, it’s your channel after all! If this is the style you like to use the most then go for it! I personally kind of like the new style, it looks a bit more- polished- if you could say that

[@Stefi_C]

I noticed the change and I really like it. Not saying that I didn’t like the “older” style, but this one looks, I don’t know how to say… a little more realistic? But to us, Moonkitti style is Moonkitti style, no matter what, it’s recognisable and unique.

[@jenetikitty]

Heck yeah :) you draw however you want to draw :) I'm here for it

[@MochiFowl_4412]

I like this change! BTW how do you decide what to color the lines?

[@Ireadwaytoomuch]

It looks good keep it up. The art style change looks like a good one

[@ironwolf5802]

It's good to change things up a bit as you do things after a while. Outside of fighting in like WW1, stayijg in trenches aren't normally a good thing. I could be wrong and just haven't seen the really nice ones a block over.

[@AmandaTrips]

I think they’re beautiful both ways and either way is up to you!

[@ubiquitous1]

This is very cool. The cats are getting a glow up

[@SmudgeWCUE1]

I like the change Looks Wise, but I prefer the old one for the funny short videos. I've watched you for a very long time. If you like the change go for it! Your humor won't change just because of the art style, & it doesn't mean I won't get a good laugh out of your video.

[@sarahcutieartist865]

Gosh I love the current style so much!

[@lavandergalaxy3669]

I love the new style. There nothing wrong with improving.

[@sparker-sparkle]

i really like that you’re changing things i’m not the biggest fan of the changes maybe im just not used to it yet maybe i’ll like it once you have changed it up a bit more but right now i like it just a tiny bit less i still think it’s great though im sure i’ll absolutely love the final result of the current experiments

[@aspen1713]

For the fluffy cats, maybe they can be differentiated by body/head shape and amount/style of fluffiness? Ex: Greystripe is more square with long, straight hair, while Dovewing is rounder with shorter, floofier fur

[@ilpoomatili9549]

Also the plus of this chanel evolving, I really like looking warriors creators art at the start vs now

[@LesbianTherians6382]

No matter what, the moonkitti art is awesome
