Subjective style

So just now I had the thought that everybody has totally different opinions. Ok maybe not the first time but looking at the range of threads on gameartisans has me thinking that many people have totally different aversions to it. Would this mean that people would hate any sort of work that was in a certain style and that doesnt agree with it?

The answer is probably yes. People are fitted into their own genres and niches and that is where their interests lie. Just playing Prince of Persia, Mike really loved the environments and thats what converted him to environmental artist. But I really loved the Prince. I couldn't get over how amazing his hair and scarves were. I could still see that the environments were cool (purified ones anyway) but it didn't really interest me massively.

Take for example "The Ranger" by Mike K Website here 

While it is a nice model, has amazing detail and is overall flashy, great and looks like a guy, its pretty boring to me. I've seen enough game characters that are buffed up super troopers who could take on whole armies by themselves. So kudos for the model but the subject matter is a bit bland to me. Below is the ranger. 

On the other hand there is another thread created by heribertovalle posted the models for the three main characters in Imagineers Games "Shades of Violet" Website here.

Instantly I was like Wow, this is interesting. I don't know anything about the game but already I'm interested in the characters. Even if they are all androgyenous. (He did say he'd look into that though) A game with a graphical style like this, and characters like this too are rare to find out of MMOs nowadays.  Below is the character Violet Vendetta. A sort of Guybrush Threepwood tomboy:

This is the direction I want to go. More cartoony fun games. DS models with lots of style, character and colour. I know I'm gonna need to work on my painting in order to match the textures but I will make it so. First DS style character will probably be Persona 3's Aigis to go along with a painting a want to do of her.  From there, i need to find wireframes and other reference images from similar games and bobs my uncle. We'll actually Pete is.

And I know that in industry you do what you told but this is the whole point of a hobby and a life. Doing what you want and being happy.

And I'll add on the Final Submission of Kuzco for the GA Kingdom Hearts war. I just couldnt get my head around the shadow thing.
