Description
These styles are not mine!!Trying to find something to freshen up my artwork and re-evaluate my style. I decided to do an experiment and draw one of my characters (Rivec) in a bunch of different styles that I draw from and look up to. THE ARTISTS WOULD BE SO ASHAMED. I totally butchered their style. But I learned a lot, so hopefully they shall forgive me. They are...
Road to El Dorado, Atlantis, Miyazaki, Yi Lee, and Tetsuya Nomura (before crisis style).
I wanted to do more, because I could go on and on forever and this is fun, but I wanted to move on to other things. It was a nice warm up though that I might continue. :>
I will move this to scraps later!
Thanks again to all who gave me advice and encouragement in my journal. I shall get through this art rut!!! 8< *determined*

Hey the Miyazaki one is pretty good actually
and so is the Atlantis one but I'm not sure about the rest because I haven't seen or heard of them. *lives in box* ;x;

The Road to El Dorado style was the one I picked up on without even looking at your description. You have that one down pat and I feel it looks the strongest. But hey...maybe I just prefer the Dreamwork style.

I still think they have much more of your own style in them than you think, though I can definately see the influences well. I think it's healthy to keep your style organic and to keep considering new techniques and stuff. Awesome sketchworks!

Wooow, how interesting! I think you did a great job adapting different styles, I bet it wasn't easy ^^
Personally I really like how he looks Miyazaki style, but that may be influenced by my inner fangirl screaming Haku!! and Howl!! over and over in my head.

Like the first[el dorado] and second [atlantis] ones the most for style, but I love them all for their expressions xD I love how his ears are perked up in the third one xD~ So cute.

I think it's neat to draw characters in other styles. And it's also neat to see people draw their characters in other styles (...like Road to El Dorado, le swoon!). And these all look very much like the styles, no butchering involved. I hope you work through ze problems, I will cheer for you in...the most stranger-on-deviantART kind of way. ^^

But your style is already so cute! ^^
I know how you feel though, just be careful not to focus so much on thier style you forget your own, that sucks. (been there, done that)
I definately got El Dorado (Love that movie), Atlantis... neehh... kind, it could be more angular and squarish (I love that little latina mechanic they had, she was so cute), Miyazaki (best animator ever!) I can see it, with him it's hard to pick him out from a still, his stuff is all about the movment for me (so fluid, mmm), but I can see his ears shifting and his hair ruffling in the wind.

zomg Atlantis <333 love et. i cant beleive i didnt realized what your style reminded me of... it was that! and and also it looks like Treasure Planet...

on your character, i like the last one the most 
and the one in the middle is cool. i just dont like the hair all square. XD sorry.

You're quite good at drawing in different styles. [: <3 You nailed the eyes on the Miyazaki one, that's instantly who I thought of when I saw it and before even reading the description.

road to eldorado! you draw wonderfully in any style, but im fond of yours the best.

I like the very top right one, and the top middle one the best.

I like the first one and two last the best ;3

The top middle one is fantastic, and the bottom right if really well done. You did a great job on each style, don't get so down on yourself, you're great.

I like the bottom two the best, with the Atlantis style coming in a good third.
I was right! I guessed one of those was Miyazaki.
:3
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Ha ha, that's cool. No wonder I liked the one in the top right best. Miyazaki is a hero.

this is a great idea to get out of an art rut or just for fun, that's really cool. I really hope it helps you

Wow, I always love when artists do a profile of a character in different styles
I hope you get out of your rut soon, too

Man great exercise hon! You managed to make each of these so very different! Great work!

What tickles me is that in Disney's Atlantis, the animators imitated Mike Mignola's ( [link] ) style... even the "big guys" do it! Heehee.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He actually worked on the movie! He was their concept artist. <3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup! You can definitely see it in the shape of the fingers on the characters, the machinery, and those weird monolith giants at the end. Gwar, I love Mignola.

Whoa, I can totally recognise the first three!
The last one is my favorite, though, despite the hair being just a tad pointy.
Good luck!

I don't think I could choose a favourite. They all rock

Very cool. I love it when people can replicate others' styles. I'm terrible at it.

OMG chicadee... *starts to drool*... too much Rivec makes me go dizzy in the head... XD!!!
anyways... you're trying to freshen up your artstyle? hmm... *thinks*... well... the El Dorado one still looks very similiar to your old style (which is 
ps Rivec in the Tetsuya Nomura style is MEGA
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
haha i do that too all the time! love it <3 mix'em all up!!
i wouldnt worry about having a specific style, you should just do whatever you want and learn as much as you can
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I think the El dorado and Atlantis style totally work over all the others and look completely rad 
They would be good for animatin :0
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I wouldn't have thought these styles weren't yours until you mentioned it... and even NOW... who cares, they still look like you! And they look great!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I like the RtED one the best just because it looks the most like your style, and the Miyazaki one is pretty nice to.
The Yi Lee one scares the hell outta me cause it looks nothing like Rivec (to me) @_@ So bishy :0
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Haha, Miyazaki-style forever!
I can still tell you drew them though.
May I give a suggestion? 'Cause I've always really admired and envied how well you draw, so it seems kind of forward of me. But. One of the Nine Old Men gave someone this advice, and it struck me as good. Don't worry about style. Just draw, and draw, and draw, and style will take care of itself, flowing naturally from who you are and the way you see the world. Maybe take up life drawing again? That way you can look at the way things really are in real life, and that may help you decide how you choose to interpret them in your art?
Er, long comment! Sorry!

I very much like the El dorado and Miyazaki ones.... They work very well. And you can recognise the styles through the drawings....
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
The Miyazaki one makes me smile. But they're all very well done
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Well, doing that with the style is a very good thing, cause it allows you to improve and define your own style adding new things
I like the first and maybe the last one most, btw love the expressions and the way you use the ears for expresing emotions too
Keep it up!

Road to El Dorado ftw! They look awesome. Good work. C:

Let me guess... Bottom right one frisked from Klar?
If so, good job emulating her style, even in a sketch . It's noticeable.
