Alright I watched the episode about the art style and I have a few comments.
I have to say I like the new direction. I especially liked the new background art style, it looks clumsy but that's why it's unique. That's why it would sell. I wouldn't want it to change. I hope by "it's not done" you meant that you would just add more objects in the environment and wouldn't change the main looks on the current building, maybe add some post-production here and there, shaders and what not, but please keep that style.
The decision to make new character appearances is awesome, too. However there is one thing that is concerning me. The new colorised character looks like a cheap flash game copy. Now don't get me wrong, it might be okay if you were making something less ambitious. But right now it doesn't just look cheap, it is also not getting well together with that background style. The solution I propose to this is really simple: just take the sketch you have at 1:37 (video time), don't make the outlines clean, just keep it sketchy as it is and add the same colouring and shading style you've used for the background. That would not only make it fit in really well, but also speed up the creation process and, most importantly, look unique.
I would be really happy to hear from you soon
Good luck and thank you for all the work!
