One does have to think about color contrasts; if this character walks in front of a yellow background, the reader will lose the ability to "read" the boundaries of his shirt. Not a problem where the characters are outlined.

Unfortunately I really am only toying with the idea. When I started AKOTAS it was with the idea that, at forty four, my style had pretty much crystallized and I could embark on a multi-decade project without the art evolving, or needing to evolve, too much between beginning and end; presenting a uniform look throughout. I have occasionally been told that the AKOTAS art has evolved over time, but I believe that was more to do with my learning the physical properties of the medium than in any change in what I do with a pen, mouse or tablet. This other style has the advantage you're talking about, and it seems to be less time consuming. But it'll have to wait for some other project.
