the art...

Nah its the novel's cover art, some adaptation just use the same cover with the novel that has that semi realistic style. I get you though I too at first was sad that we don't get to see the same art style but with that quality applied on the actual chapter, I doubt we'll get that almost 1-2 weeks regular updates

ik the cover art usually is more detailed than the actual chapters, but I don't believe this is the case, what bothered me is that the traces has literally nothing to do with the cover art I mean, look at the way their faces and noses are drawn and compare it to the cover art. I didn't expect the chapters would be just like the cover art, but their quality is just way too different, it comes out as sloppy even.

Phainon is saying the cover art used on here for the comic is not actually the cover art for the comic, it's the cover they use for the novel. People on this site tend to put the novel's art for the thumbnail because the novel art already exists because the novel came first.
Most of the time they don't use the same artist for the novel art as they do for the comic because the novel only has to have one cover of art and has to be eye catching. whereas a comic is all art and has to be made quickly for deadlines. This comic is an adaptation of the novel.
It's not sloppy, it's just literally a different artist for a different reason. If the art was this detailed on every page and panel it would take forever to make.
It's extremely common for this to happen.

I probably read Phainon's comment wrong, I was thinking it was the same artist and they did a detailed cover just like other mangas/manhwas sometimes create a initial detailed or very colored special page, but now I understand the cover art was another separate thing.

Idk if in the official store they use the same novel art or have an art made by the actual comic artists, but nonetheless, my point remains the same of feeling catfished lmao.

For me, personally, still does come out as sloppy simply because I opened the manga expecting something entirely different. The art itself may not be bad, but it's inevitable to not compare it with the cover art (which is a big reason why many of us clicked in this in the first place) — thus, come out as sloppy, mainly because of the traces and the way they paint it, for me it gives unfinished vibes.

Again, this is just my opinion, I'm not saying the artist was unprofessional I just don't find it appealing, you may find the art pretty or whatever and it's totally fine.

And, again, when I say I repeat, I did not except the actual comic art to be just like the cover. I know it's not feasible. But it's totally possible to do a comic with a closer artstyle, just not super high detailed like the cover. It would not take forever and it's not possible. We got plenty of examples in this websites, but you got what I meant. Anyways, I know it's a different artist and etc etc (and again, my point still stands), I'm just clarifying this one point I forgot to put in my other comment.

It's not really fair to call it sloppy only because your expectations weren't met based on one image on a not legal website where randos upload images. It's unfair to put that specific problem on the work itself when the comic would have its own official cover art on a legal site that would match the comic art. The comic didn't catfish you, this website did. That's just the dice you roll on sites like these.

Is the art kinda mid? Yeah, but a lot of webtoon comics are kind of at this level, especially in this genre. It's not the best, but it's consistent and conveys what's going on pretty well and does it's job.
It was probably done in this style to match with others in the genre, to keep a lighter and slightly comedic tone, and to have a balance of art that's good enough but simple enough that it can be done in a short amount of time over and over again.

These webtoons tend to be pumped out in extremely short time, with low budgets, and with a small team. There are way more steps involved in making a cohesive comic that reads and flows well than into making one pretty image. It really isn't always feasible a lot of the time to make them high quality. They just don't typically have the time or budget for that. And we can try to compare comics to another, but we don't know what their production/budget differences are between different comics. Unfortunately, these things tend to be more about speed than quality and the simpler the art the faster you can make chapters. That's just kinda how the industry is.

It's also like, I don't want to say an artist shouldn't be hired in their field just because their art is considered average or they have a bit less experience under their belt. Your gonna have a range of quality and styles across everything and not all of it is going to be someone's cup of tea.
I mean this is also certainly better art than some other ones I've seen lol Is it the best? No, but not everything is gonna be a winner though. Some things will just be generally good lol

Hmmm well, I disagree on not being fair me calling the art sloppy. The cover art is made made by the same artist? No, I know. The comic art looks sloppy because I expected a better quality? For me, it does. And it doesn't matter the fact the cover art is not made by the same artist or whatever. I still felt catfished and still think the art is sloppy.

It doesn't matter if this is the website's fault, I still felt what I just said, thus that's the point of my original comment.

Besides that, about you saying the art is consistent and the comic is rushed by the industry and not hiring the artist: I know all of it, and again, my point still stands. I still felt catfished lmao, I know they push deadlines to the artist, but that doesn't make stop thinking the art looks unfinished, it may even be a consequence of it. You're justifying why the art may be that way, and I understand it, too bad for the artists working in that environment but I still think the art is ugly. Me understanding why the art looks that way didn't make me magically think it's pretty.

Also, I never said this artist shouldn't be hired just because their art is ugly. Idk why you went that way.

I was just saying, it's fine to feel catfished and to not like the art, but that's not the comics fault itself. In the future, if you see a super detailed /realistic style cover, don't expect the art to look the same because that's likely the novel art. Then if the art does match you'll just be pleasantly surprised instead of disappointed. The novel art being used for the comic happens a lot on here.


I even said that I don't think this art is super pretty either. It's kind of mid, but it's on par with some other BL I've read so it's not unusual. They have fairly good proportions and reading it is easy to follow. It's serviceable and average.
Me knowing how the industry works means I also know that not all of the comics are going to be like amazing. I explained the industry stuff because that goes back to setting expectations. My expectations are more reasonably set going into it because of that knowledge.

Not accusing you of saying the artist shouldn't be hired, just to be clear.
I was saying that last bit in a general industry kind of way, since I had just talked about the industry. Not directed at you specifically. It was just a general thought I had. Like if all comic art was expected to be at a certain level of quality then by virtue less experienced or differently styled artists would basically never be hired. But of course, for a number of factors that doesn't happen and I'm glad comics have that range of variety and for different artists to get opportunities, even if I'm not a huge fan of some of it sometimes since art is subjective.
