somebody merged 40 of this guys comics together and it looks like this. he works for buzzfeed i think im allowed to make fun of him i mean look
this is what dissociation feels like
I mean, you can tell they took all the comics and angled them and flipped them so the focus was the head repeated on the same panel. And, honestly? It’s not that serious; he’s consistent with his art and has a style, and he’s not exactly out there making separate art pieces, just a cohesive set of like…what, weekly comic strips? You could do this with virtually any comic strip you find. You could do this shit with Peanuts or Garfield or Calvin and Hobbes. This is an honest reach. What’s the issue here other than being petty?
this week on tungle.hellsite: tumblr calls out artists for being on model
“being on model” is not “copy and pasting the same head in various orientations for every single comic”
You absolutely could NOT do that with Calvin and Hobbes without some extreme cherry picking.
you mean like OP did, with the 6 comics they used in the composite image above?
also how the hell do you people even find these untagged posts, do you just literally go searching for random posts on peoples blogs to discourse on or…?
Do you understand what “orientation” means?
It’s the same face. Maybe rotated or flipped in some cases, but the point is the guy couldn’t be assed to draw the face differently for any of his comics. It’s laziness, and it really shows in his comics; his characters always look like rigid, unexpressive zombies. You can have characters with dynamic expressions and a face that isn’t so rigid without going off model.
Do you?
OH MY GOD, FACES FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES!
and on the subject of calvin and hobbes…
now, I don’t got no fancy photoshop, but I’m also not dumb as shit like apparently you are, so I can see those are almost identical when rotated to the same angle with one or two exceptions (such as in the top row, the final image has a wider smile more similar to the bottom images – amazingly artists’ styles evolve over time! LIKE THE TEN YEARS CALVIN AND HOBBES WAS PUBLISHED FOR).
Does the guy default to the ¾ flattened side view often? Yes. Too much? Perhaps, but if I were getting paid probably not that much by buzzfeed I would probably not care too much about that either – and that besides the point where it’s easy for artists to stick with a familiar pose and not realise, which I’m aware of after a rather embarassing moment in my IB Art mock exam when this was pointed out to me…
Now maybe if you actually created anything, rather than opening your mouth and let all the shit in your brain fall out, you might appreciate the limitations and issues that face anyone trying to create or design things. But as it is, alas, we have to have your mental diarrhea smearing along the inside of our computer screens instead.
Also in the spirit of “call-out culture” which you so delight to engage in, I’d point out that all of the girls in the “basically pedophilia” anime you reblog have literally the same face with different hairstyles so, there’s that too :>

You don’t have to like the dudes comics, but you have to remember that its a comic. it’s a means to an end of visual narrative communication. Not everyone is at the same skill level of art and not every comic needs incredible artistic talent to work (xkcd anyone?) The point is he created the comics, possibly even chose to save himself some work rather than include more detail in some panels. That’s the artistic process, some people like the end result and others don’t. Either way he’s already ahead of those of us that haven’t created webcomics
just say you don’t like this particular comic and go. No need to pretend that he’s doing anything worse than literally any other comic artist in history
