moment I saw that frame with the Gluttony Rakshasa I just knew...I just KNEW...someone's done it, someone's made monster fucker art of it somewhere... and frankly? I'm not brave enough to look. I know though. There's a haunting feeling that slowly ghosts over me, and by the way my body shivers at the sight of that panel—it instinctively knows. It's too late.

It tells me that such a fantasy has already been given life.

And that can only be done by someone with unrivalled artistic talent, a stronger heart than us all, and a burning will. I applaud you.

mangagoers often act like BL is mainstream or widely popular, but let’s be real—that’s not the case. BL will never reach the level of mainstream media because homophobia still exists. It’s weird how people complain about BL’s so-called ‘popularity’ when it’s not even mainstream. I also find it strange when people brag about not read......

I mean, we all know about works with AMAZING art styles that are really popular because of said styles. I was wondering if anybody had some works they think would reach mainstream or just be vastly more popular in their niche if their art style was changed from a generic/unconventional one to one to something else. Personally, I think The Events o......

Re-explaining why the new art looks "awful" since people still want to hate on it.

The old artist preferred work with colour, the new artist prefers to work with line and shape. Artstyles can tell you a lot about the artist, and to me it's very apparent that each artist prefers a different part of the process. The old artist seems to prefer colouring and shading, whereas the new artist prefers lineart.

Neither artstyle is objectively bad, and neither is objectively better than the other.

It's just that the old artist had very bland, simple lineart, because he needed to save time in order to do gradients and shade properly, since he does soft-shading a lot more.

The new artist doesn't need to do soft-shading, nor do they have the time, because they put a lot more effort into their lineart. The lineart varies in weight a lot more, and they use harsher colours, which also adds a lot more contrast in comparison to the older art, where everything is a lot more blended and lighter.

Instead of soft-shading, the new artist uses a lot more harsher shadows, that tend to follow the lineart. Styles with heavy lineart and flatter colours are actually better for action-oriented comics because the shape and direction of movement tends to be a lot easier to follow in fight scenes.

It's so jarring because the old artist tended to paint in a way the blended everything together, which isn't bad. It just gives this sense of "everything belongs together".

The new artist, however, prefers clarity and tries to make each thing distinct from each other (again, not a bad thing). They also work with values a lot more, and there's more contrast., hence why the colours looks so different.

Yeah, that's it. It's really that simple.

Seriously, looking back at the older chapters DAMN everyone got yaoi-fied. Vercy used be more of a twink than Sunwon.
