The Leopon line art is pencil thin with incredibly soft detailing. The primary color of the line art is a grey-brown. Note the shading here is very noticeable as it encompasses much of the body. There are strong points between the dark and soft areas, even though the shading itself isn't dark.

The Tigon while still matching the general line weight of the Leopon has clearer, bolder outlines but still utilizing that brown coloration to said lines. The shading is still very much prevalent, but note that instead of soft smooth shading the Tigon is more refined. There is clear fur patterns, but still you can see the similarity to the first hybrids style. There /are/ differences, but it can be said they aren't too dissimilar.

Notice that with these first two, there is a blur effect at the edges of the lines, giving it a fluffy texture.

Now we arrive at the newest edition. While there is no doubt that this is beautifully crafted art, the differences between this ones style and the latter two are very noticeable. The color isn't even the same!

Minimal shading with very thick lines. the artwork is very striking however it simply does not match the style of Lioden at all when compared to even one of our most recent new lineart's.
While I do enjoy the different, what does this mean for CD's and it's rules? Was the choice to change the lineart color purposeful?

For reference, these are the color differences between lineart:
