Showstyle Julien --

After reading a few comments from my latest poll I decided to revisit how I used to draw Julien when I first got into the fandom.

Here you can see that he's more in style of the show, from having his fur staying stiffer and his body seeming a bit looser and more in keeping with the cartoon.

What I don't like the most is the eyes, they seem to lack the life I normally try to put into a pic, even after drawing them the way I do now they didn't seem to fit the style.

Anatomy is kept simple, not as in depth or as detailed as I normally draw it.

If I had worked for Nick this would have been the way I would have drawn Julien, but seeing as how I don't I can say that I like drawing him without the restrictions. I can just do so much with him.

All though there are a few things I like visually about this style, it is very limiting with what I want to do with the character. Eh, just depends on how my hand wants to draw him and what catches the eye, just thought I would share.
