mmmm.... I really liked the old Mochi style (unique, funny, simple and very cute and fitting for the comedy), but well, this new style is not bad either. Still, Mochi 's stories are soooooo good <3
Yes. Imo the old Mochi art has its own charm in the simplicity of it. The background has more detail in the new art, but rhe character suffers a bit as a result. For example, the pupil-less eyes conveys more character than the "generic" pupil-ed eyes. Thick lines also makes the characters stand out more.
The new art isn't bad, per se, but it looks more generic than the old art.
