It's not just that he only draws one face but that he actually moves towards drawing one face. Like how Snout started out looking different but he became pointy-nosed like everyone else.

He IS trying to draw Skullet with a very unique face, but he can't keep it consistent at all. Go back and compare all the times you see him, his face totally changes every single page. And then there's Corpsemom, whose face is different from every other woman... because he draws her nose round instead of pointy, and that's it.

It's the same with The Redactor, who originally had a squarer jaw and could have been middle-aged:  Compare that to whoever this is, it's a completely different person:  edit: If it was anyone making this other than Mookie, I'd be sure it had to be a different witch. Just look at them! Trapezium Dave fucked around with this message at 04:59 on Apr 23, 2023 |

This whole talk reminded me of what a joy watching Yoji Shinkawa work is. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ouI8KXTdzhI&pp=ygUVeW9qaSBzaGlua2F3YSBkcmF3aW5n This is just what I could find offhand, but I've never seen the man make a sketch, and the first time I saw him work, I literally screeched in agony that such skill existed. It was like looking into the face of God, an absolutely humbling moment. I do not understand his process, but it's just satisfying to watch him work, I could do it all day. Mookie, however, is a mortal like most of us, and construction is vital for good results for mortal men.

The weird thing is there's no other talking animals or familiars in the setting so Spark stands out as even more pointless and off-putting than usual.

Spark is something from the very beginning when it was a gag a day comic and never got updated to fit in better when it stopped being that.

Boba Pearl posted:Why is it not appropriate to say your style is ugly? When did "I drew it poorly on purpose" become acceptable. I feel like in the very early days of the internet there was a bit of a prejudice against anime/manga styled art, like people thought it was worse than American comic art and had too much sameface and the like. So in the sense of "this is done in a different style than American comics, and is just as valid" that can be true. Like, Osamu Tezuka's art isn't bad just because it's simpler than Alex Ross's. Since Mookie is very obviously doing manga inspired art, it would be very easy for him to go "Since my art is supposed to be different from American comic art, people who are criticizing it just don't understand it, it's still totally valid" and how he can just dismiss any criticism of his art as "No see it's my style." YF-23 posted:I do not think the gap between panels is nearly as big a problem as the fact that it draws attention to mookie's samefaced characters. It is good composition but it really needs more distinguishing features for the two faces. Hell, reading these pages with so many orcs around whose only difference is how their hair is styled and which are chockfull of "dramatic cuts" from one scene to the other I just found myself confused and unable to keep track of who each character is a bunch. That's my biggest problem is that they all have the same face and a lot of them have the same hairstyle. Eltu, Suyan and the Spirit Father all look exactly the same. How the gently caress am I supposed to tell who any of these people are? The Spirit Father at least wears different clothing but Eltu and Suyan might as well be identical twins. I think Mookie also realized this, or got some criticism about it, because it isn't too long until Suyan has his hair dyed black as some sort of "mark of shame" which conveniently finally allows the reader to tell the difference between him and Eltu. Maxwell Lord posted:It's not just that he only draws one face but that he actually moves towards drawing one face. Like how Snout started out looking different but he became pointy-nosed like everyone else. For the record this is the very first side profile we see of Snout. This art isn't really good, but you can see how even within this comic Mookie's art has deteriorated and become lazy over time and Snout went from an ugly mongrelman to a pretty boy who looks the same as everyone else in side profile.

Hair dye is a weird mark of shame. Head shaven, sure. Hair dye? Shaving a head takes no resources, dyeing it does. You're buying/procuring dye to say "this guy sucks." And when his hair grows out, you'll have to do it again! Are there root touchups of shame?

Chapter 26: The March Across Maltak, Part 3: The Crone of Maltak I need to get this part out of the way because there's so much nonsense.  We start things off with a wet fart as Donovan tries to play white savior and pisses off the locals.  It's okay, he planned it all along! This is another case of Mookie's chronic allergy to characters making mistakes. I guarantee he posted the first comic, fans called out Dadgan's idiocy, so Mookie hastily came up with an explanation to make Donovan look smart. Except Donovan is just an ignorant buttmonkey, save for the instances where he's suddenly a sexy rock star or an expert swordsman or a crafty rogue. Do I have to point out why "make the enemy angrier" is a bad idea outside of Looney Tunes?  You may notice Mookie's representation of nature consists solely of thick grass because he can't draw flowers or trees, and animals... we know how Mookie draws animals.  I admit -- if I was 15, I'd think the dialogue is cool. Baldy is so enraged he breaks his ankle. Is it a rule that oracles, seers, and all that need to wear Dr. Who scarves?  Good thing no one rushes Baldy while he's monologuing. Here we see the "natives have a special connection/mystical power from Nature" cliche rear its head. Look at Spark in the last panel. What the gently caress  gently caress, it's here. The all-consuming, bland nothingness, the jet-black mountains perpetually out of reach...  Dominic immediately switches to whiny dick mode. C'mon Reinholdt -- kill him here and claim you never saw him. It's the perfect murder! Panel 7 makes me angry. There's no sense of depth, the horizon line is too high, the perspective's off, and Mookie's strict adherence to the eight-panel format is dumb. The right way to do this is a big splash page with two tiny figures surrounded by an endless rocky waste. Of course, that takes time and effort Mookie isn't willing to spend.  Somehow, Luna ended up outside the Crone's cave. I hate those mountains, they're all the same triangle shape.  It's Azazia! She's alive! Tension ruined by lame joke!  Azazia straight-up drugs Luna into a spirit journey -- excuse me, a "vision walk". Luna won't be bothered. The next sequence is so loving stupid -- Mookie's ignorance of history and human society is on full display, and it's topped off by some plot twists that are poorly thought out at best and insulting at worst.  I have no doubt Luna's boobs and neatly manicured bush would be front and center if Mookie drew this today.  where do i loving begin 1. It looks practically the same. 2. CARNIVOROUS. PLANTS. 3. All the clans have one defining characteristic. 4. Why would a single people fracture into different clans and compete with one another? When has this ever happened in history? Was there a natural disaster? A civil war? Dunno, just "time changes everything," like it's inevitable.  The Tienchak make no sense, like nearly every concept Mookie toyed with at this point. Their existence means the orcs shouldn't have split up in the first place! We learn the Orc War started because Siggy's dad was racist, go figure. But that's not the worst of it...  Thuen Gor's curse caused children, like Luna, to be born with Tusk Mouth. What? But wait, it gets worse!  1. I believe we find out someone removing their tusks rips out a part of their soul, which aligns with Mookie's view of plastic surgery as inherently evil (his opinion would evolve into "plastic surgery is fine as long as isn't for STUPID WHORES and their GIANT BOOBIES"). 2. The idea of Luna embracing who she is laughable on its own, but this implies everyone else with tusk mouth died miserable and alone. How long has this been happening? Was there a timeline established (my guess is no)? 3. BIG HERO LUNA restores Maltak by simply existing. Whee. Goddamn, those last pages SUCKED  And we top off that mountain of tripe with a stupid joke. gently caress.  you know what i'm done for now Next time: dad jokes, how to tell orcs apart, dominic is a dick

This looks significantly better than the fight scene we're currently getting (and not just because Snout is taking a punch). You can see Mookie was making an effort rather than phoning it in. Also lol that this Redactor Ink Witch also looks different from all the others. At least three versions of a character who has appeared possibly six times.

Among all the awful, sheltered, dumb, and at times racist and sexist choices on display above, the carnivorous plants somehow bother me the most. Wouldn't it end up being morally the same as eating meat if you thought about it for one second? But I guess then Mookie can't be smug about his characters sharing his veganism.

Mx. posted:nice strong pecs on ink witch mk 2 What the gently caress happened to Snout's left leg in the last panel? If the calf is supposed to be in a kneeling position then where is his foot? If it's supposed to be tucked to the side then the top of Snout's thigh shouldn't be facing upward, it should be facing the audience. By all accounts, Snout's left leg looks like a piece of salami.
