Color in 9 styles art challenge (Color experiment)

An art challenge I created to do a color experiment with my original character to test how many art styles I can do that are different from my own and to step out of my comfort zone.
The color in 9 styles challenge is an art challenge to help you get more comfortable with multiple coloring styles. You draw 1 line art illustration and color it in your style plus 8 other times changing your approach to the rendering aspect of your artstyle. The challenge is designed to get you out of your comfort zone in 8/9 of the time. Since the first one is your style or the one in the center so that is you vs what you can do that's different around it.

Rules
1. Can be traditional or digital?
2. You can use color sketch/base color anything in the draft so long that it's you as a panel.
3. Any and all techniques are allowed.
4. Filters are fine but the point is to learn a new coloring style at least 1 you like out of the 8 experiments.
5. It's called color but it's supposed to focus on rendering and in Marvel comics rendering is anything that adds definition to your illustration that normal lineart couldn't so anything is allowed from crosshatching to photo-realistic painting.
6. You can post each experiment separately if you like if you want to post more I just like to post when I finished
