Good disclaimer in the beginning.
Dude, complements to your artist
It's fun to rule 34 cartoon characters and trying to keep them "on model" as much as possible.
talking from experience- I did that with Adventure Time in my projects (and that style is deceptively hard).
I can relate to this challenge, so I want to save your artist so much time and heartache.
They
gotta switch to vector- it's what they do for the show. Raster drawing this art style is just
waaaay too much work.
Clean shapes, clean lines, they'll be able to crank out and adjust so much more. Hell, with the time saved, I'd be bold enough to even try cel shading this.
I'm gonna take a shot in the dark here, is your illustrator working with a low spec computer? Can't go farther than 300 dpi or their laptop will croak?
