I think the style is the concious or unconcious way of applying the technique. And it should follow our hearts. Consistency in style is a hard thing to get for some of us and sometimes (more often that I´d like to admit in my case) the "what the people will think" whisper in the back of the head, just mess with all the fun of creating art. Ultimately we all should have all the fun posible without worrying too much of who´s looking. The first person to be pleased should be us.
