Yes, you can still do the animation, it'll just need to be in that style (or something similar). I'll provide the animators with reference sheets of the characters, so that you all have it as a guide, along with the storyboard 
Speaking of which, @May_Otterview @Annaliese_Dancemuddle @caleb_Larkmagnet1 @Drmeh_Orangescope @Xaloy_Dreadapple, since you all signed up for a part in the animating, we need to work on how we'll be doing this! The key word here is consistency. If it's not consistent, it'll look sloppy. So, I'm going to be posting an example picture, and everyone will be put in groups to work on this one picture. When everyone has done their part and the pictures are posted back here, the finished pictures should look somewhat identical to each other. Don't worry if it's not perfect, it just has to be close.
@Cinnar_Ratchetloop will do line-art with @May_Otterview who will do color & shade
@Xaloy_Dreadapple will do line-art, color, & shade (If this is too much, let me know), and
I will do line-art & shade with @Drmeh_Orangescope who will do color
This is an example of what the process should look like:
Here is the practice picture of @Silverclaw_Bonnetfolly1 (You can ignore the rough sketch):
Let me know if you have any questions, because that was a lot of info. Let's try to have this practice done by the end of the week, and we'll compare the three pictures. Thanks guys!
