All of your stuff is stylized. That one is only SLIGHTLY more stylized. I know they say to focus your folio to one style but I think you guys are taking that advice bit too far. Theres got to be some wiggle room in there for variation. Just my opinion. Im by no means an expert.
I think the confusion came about when my first post ended with the more animated character and that's all ragnoll had to go on for a critique until I posted more. I do enjoy multiple styles but always maintain a fantasy focus.
Many working artists at conventions have told me I'm pigeon holing myself to indie games by doing that, but I simply can't see myself competing for jobs at companies like Arena.net or Blizz right now even if I attempt to perfect "their" style. Feels like we're duking it out for entry level positions with seasoned veterans who have been laid off from closing companies like Irrational games or THQ....just my reasoning though.
