the way he portrays himself in his comics always reminds me of this.

also sage because tom preston thread. c'mon man...

Such quality.
Floating figures are just his style, guys.

We definitely need yet another thread about that guy, it will certainly improve the world. I already feel that my drawings skills are improving.

jesus christ
I wish I had a death note.

>>1172442
oh wow preston sure knows how to stylize and use different styles
it's like all foru panels were drawn by different people

It's just a webcomic you faggots. No one gives a shit about art in a webcomic. Being a good artist certainly does NOT improve a webcomic either. For example I for one would be creeped the fuck out if the guy who draws Cyanide & Happiness suddenly had actually realisticly drawn humans in his panels.

Oh come on, put a little effort into trolling.

Yeah, no, you are just retardedly stupid.

I haven't implied anything like that. But people on /ic/ always criticize the drawing ability of this dipshit, same with Fuckley. My point is that no one reads a webcomic because they want to look at good art or decent drawings. It's throwaway jokes aimed to get a slight grin out of some bored guy who browses that shit at work. Even stick figures are an acceptable "art style" in a webcomic.

>My point is that no one reads a webcomic because they want to look at good art or decent drawings
I do. And I know quit a few webcomics with good artwork and good stories or enjoyable characters.

>>1172765
Obviously, you never grew up during the era when sprite comics were in vogue. Shitty art will get you ignored.

>>1172766
Fact. I read TeaHouse and I used to read Hanna is Not a Boy's Name before she stopped making it. They both have GREAT art!

>>1172768
>GREAT art!
>look up comic
>good colors, but
>those fucking heads

I blame O'Mailey for influencing people to draw heads that don't make sense.

>>1172828
>implying it's bad
>implying everyone who draws very stylized is influenced by him
yes I'm butthurt

>>1172768

Those are . . . o.k. But Romantically Apocalyptic is pretty awesome in terms of illustration. The writing needs a lot more fleshing out though as it is quite a young series still.

>>1172737

HAHA oh wow, I didn't even realize that the rendering changed in the first 3 panels until I read your comment.

>>1172872
Me too,sadly enough.

>>1172768
I enjoy reading Cucumber Quest, Axe Cop, Helvetica, Sakana and Hark a Vagrant.

kiwisbybeat.com is a webcomic with some pretty great art.

>>1172765
>It's throwaway jokes aimed to get a slight grin out of some bored guy who browses that shit at work
I'm sure if it actually succeeded at that and wasn't beyond unfunny nobody would criticise the art.

I believe you're thinking of comic strips because i love my webcomics to have good art

>>1172766

PBF is always relevant.

>>1172877
An example

>>1172883

>>1172870

Romantically Apocalyptic is all smoke and mirrors.

He photoshops himself into traced landscapes. Hardly impressive draftsmanship.

Though you could argue that the ends are all that matter, not the means.

>>1172858
Not bad (I've seen worse in stuff like Scott Pilgrim), just wrong. It's like the artist can't draw his stylized features in perspective so instead just shifts the face to the side of the head. I see many web-cartoonists do this, and it looks awful.

Most "stylized" comic art looks like the artist can't handle their own stylizations, and get around posing their characters by doing cheats (like, if a character is going to look up, the artist will disconnect the head from the neck, and draw a new symbol to represent the bottom of the head). There's nothing wrong with bending the rules, but nothing will substitute for learning how to draw.

>>1172452
oh god, the lengths some people go to to avoid drawing feet.
And the feet he has drawn...
aw lawd

>>1172909
I remember that guy. When that Art4Love scandal was happening he threw a shit fit trying to hunt down the guy behind it. He was ready to display personal information of the Art4Love guy and say he was in the right for doing so. Sorta like an act of mindless retaliation, and was backed by the majority of his fans.

I told him he was being over zealous and he blocked me and said something relative to me being an enabler of art thieves. While that may be true, the blocking part was a bit harsh for just a single piece of criticism lol.

i don't get the pull of niggling away at stuff that turns you off. don't pick at scabs that make you rage, it just irritates them. if you think it's shit, it'll be healed over and gone from your awareness if you just leave it to itself.

Always relevant.
I would say I like Gunnerkrigg too. If not for its occasional "quality" moments and people reading too much into the details and "quality" I'd say it's one of the best webcomics out there.

>>1172768

I'm afraid I don't comprehend.

PBF is the webcomic master race

his art will eventually get better...what won't get better is his writing.

as a comic artist myself the last thing I want to write about is the day to day bs of actually being a cartoonist. He obviously has illusions of grandeur and should really explore some other topics.

>>1173146
The man has been drawing the exact same way for years.

He has hit a plateau and he doesn't care to progress further than where he is at. He has fans, and will continue to make more and more as time passes. He has no aspirations to become more than what he is, and he is contempt where his level of work is at.

He will never become better because he doesn't create artwork for the sake of creating artwork. He creates artwork for the sake of garnering attention, and if his current level of work accomplishes that then he does not even register becoming better as a goal. I've seen plenty of people like him before, and they remain in a place where they feel adequate. He isn't running away from getting better, he just stays where he is at.

>>1173146
as an artist, i don't mind reading about life of another artist.
comics about car salesmen and superheroes put me off, because i can't relate.

>>1173149
meh, fair enough, I don't really follow his work but I can tell he's a stubborn tool.

>>1173151

yeah, I could read about it I just couldn't draw it myself. It just reeks of self impotance.
