I love Casey's coloring/shading, and that TV speaker's aggressive speech bubble background texture is a great idea. But the TV speaker character is maybe too confusing/abstract? Is it hovering at height in front of the chalkboard or is that almost a separate panel? And neither arm looks proportionate, or too detailed or not detailed enough, its right forearm/elbow is really odd and lining it up with the background room corner line draws the eye to it

It is hovering entirely, and both arms are both disproportionate, almost falling apart. I think I missed the mark with what I intended, I wanted something that looked "wrong" in every aspect, while being recognizably human-esque. I wanted it to be constantly oozing like an open wound, and covered in teeth and eyes while visibly falling apart. I wanted you to look at him and go "gently caress ew," and then juxtapose that initial feeling with a big cracked LCD smile, and casual clothing, and a relaxed pose, like he knows he looks like a hosed up fun house mirror of a person, but he has a job to do, and he likes doing it so he'll try his best. I even made his fingers these square hosed up lore olympus sausages because I find them grotesque and off-putting.

You got the "wrong" right for sure, but you could probably go even more off-putting if that's the intention. Maybe standing up straight and in-shape is too formal, sort of slumped or hunchbacked might fit your vibe? RGB from Property Of Hate is very sharply dressed and has that straight-line cartoon action, perhaps yours works better with more curved/rounded features?

I think his character design would make more sense if he showed up in more than one panel, and we saw him from another side, maybe. I like the concept, but it needs more space to shine.

I also really like that you're leaning into "let's have some dang conversations up in here instead of just punch".

I'm trying to make the comic look grittier and more textured, tell me if you like it, there's a few shading styles and stuff in there as I experimented a lot, and wanted to get opinions on things. Let me know if a panel sucks or rules visually!

I’m not usually a reader of your comic, so please take my comments with a grain of salt. But this last set of panels caught my eye and helped frame some of what i like and dislike about the art.

Someone previously mentioned your linework being inconsistent. I think you’re getting better at it now. I also like the grittiness, it helps the make the visual style and color pallete look less thorsby-like.

The last panel here is very good. It feels like all the visual elements go together as a cohesive style.

The two panels before look strange to me. I think the flat blue on the tongue and eyes make them look like stickers on top of the comic. I’m not sure what it takes to make them appear more visually consistent though. Maybe some shading, color variation/texture or something.

But then, the saliva detail feels over worked on top of that, as if somehow its too detailed for the rest of the art. It is a remarkably horny bit of drawing, and i cant tell you exactly why, so i’m assuming that bit was conveyed very well.

Your art has really improved since you started posting it. B Squad Leader’s recommendation of looking at Property of Hate I think is a good recommendation in additional ways. The panels with wilder color pallets and action could give you some good points of reference.

PYF Comic is a little more lax about NWS stuff that most of the threads here but I think we draw the line at full frontal nudity.

The "hermaphroditic overlords from outer space impregnating Eve against a big rear end rock" comic regularly features genitals of several kinds and I don't think anyone ITT gives a poo poo. Post away my dude.

That's different, it's from the Bible and therefore respectable unlike the rest of the heathen smut that gets posted here.
