Literally every single person on /co/ could do better. I'm not even kidding. The best in this are the hands, and even they are rudimentary line-art with minimal colouring in order to convince you you're reading a finished product.

I will never understand this attitude. If you like the comic, fair enough. But your reasoning is utterly alien to me. I can understand liking a comic despite bad art, or even despite bad writing.

It depends. Neither trumps the other.
Good art will typically be thought of as apart from shit writing. If the art is good enough then people will just post it out of context typically.
If the art is literally unreadable then it doesn't matter how good the writing is, you can't read it.
If it's readable but hideous, there's not much incentive to read it.

And I love funny books, too bad this isn't a funny book.

Never said art was unimportant, just less important in my opinion.

My point is that SG really is funny, it pokes fun at comics without taking the piss, and is by far the most liked comic that i have tried to get newbies into.
I often try to get work mates etc into comics, and SG has made more people interested than any other i could mention.
Yep, art matters and this is below what should be expected but it kind of fits the writing style. Quirky and different, not too serious etc.

Isn't that a good thing though?
If people don't blame your lack of skills on you specifically and you still have the chance to become good, well known, and known for more than being just another female
And doesn't that actually make sense?
If your art is terrible and so is everything else about you, what would make you distinct from literally anyone who share traits with you, one of the major traits being your gender

I mean, if a dude was being a nondescript asshole, wouldn't people just say "ugh, men"

look at slott's Silver Surfer's art

goofy/quirky and cartoony, yet very good looking

The Allreds have actually cultivated their style for almost 2 decades.

Cho's art in Hunk is completely on the goofy side, but that doesn't make him put less of an effort

Or look at Gwenpool's.

Erica simply isn't doing pro-level work and it hurts her product because some readers do care about visual part of the storytelling.
>>
>>83249451
I could draw 3x that amount if I didn't care what it looked like or how well it sold.
>>
>>83249840
I believe art should add something to the comic. If the art doesn't lift the work upward, then there is no purpose to it being there, aside from facilitating prose-free storytelling. Especially when it comes to sequential storytelling, where the art should be painting the narrative as much as the writing.

And SG's art is the definitive example of art just being there so we can call it a comic.

>Isn't that a good thing though?

If it was reality, it could be argued that it was both bad and good, but if it's pure delusion on the part of the artist, it's just bad.

You're delusional if you think you can take the credit for everything you do well but everything you do poorly is down to your gender and people who hate your crappy art just hate ALL women and anything done by a woman.

I knew that the SG artist really fucking sucked before I knew it was some female named Erica Henderson. If it was a man, I'd STILL say fire the bitch.

What sucks is that there are probably tens of thousands of women who could do a better job, but they languish in obscurity while Erica Henderson pats herself on the back for mutilating my waifu and turning every character she draws into a tranny.

One more thing, why does EVERY single character have the exact same nose? Why is it the nose of Rocky Marciano after 12 rounds?

Why does every character look like they get hit in the face with frying pans for a living?

>I mean, if a dude was being a nondescript asshole, wouldn't people just say "ugh, men"

What?? What in the fuck are you TALKING ABOUT? Nobody would say that except a fucking crazy person.

Trust me dipshit, when I say Erica Henderson's art sucks it isn't because all men secretly hate all women, you fucking retard. Two out of my three favorite authors are women, so FUCK YOU, YOU specifically, individually, not your gender, YOU.

But if an artist is truly expressive he can tell a great story without putting a single word to page.

So while I see where you're coming from, by your logic I could say "Well if you want good writing and don't want to focus on the art then why don't you just read a book instead?"

Obviously there's a finer balance to be had in this particular medium.

I actually like the design used for Squirrel Girl in this comic, but the super shit art style just repulses me too much to even consider picking it up.

No anon, you misunderstand
If an artist is expressive enough to where he can create a great story with his art, that is both a combination of good art and good story
I mean, you explicitly said great story when we're talking about either or

In a situation where you have to choose between good art and good story, comics are a medium where good story is more important than good art.

Some Guy is probably a really talented artist but might crumble under having to produce their own layouts, breakdowns and finished art for a book every month.

She can recover from this right? right?

>>
>>83252351
didnt she said B&P's art was downgraded because animating the original stuff she designed was too expensive and not because she couldn't keep it up?

why is her comic book work even further down the shitter?
>>
>>83249303

Neither drawing is technically much worse than the other.

The left drawing makes it quite clear that the artist simply views Squirrel Girl's face as inherently a little grotesque, and her body rather heavy and flat-chested.
The right drawing looks like an attempt to fix the left drawing by someone who wanted the character to have more sex appeal.

I might like Squirrel Girl to be easier on the eyes, but her official artist appears to have made a conscious decision against that. If it hasn't hurt her popularity, I don't care.
Left drawing isn't bad, just pointedly non-sexy.

Frederator is notoriously stingy and the studio did indeed downgrade to what F was willing to pay for.

The second question is usually answered by her raging alcoholism.

Good writing makes up for meh art but generally doesn't make up for outright bad art. Great art can rarely make up for meh writing and can never make up for bad writing.
>>
>>83252484
I agree, but the main problem with the one on the left is twofold and not easy to tell from one picture alone; the art in USG suffers a lack of consistency, and a lack of clarity.

Squirrel Girl's face isn't a little grotesque across panels, or at least not in the same way; her features sort of melt and shift and her face's proportions change in ways that make it hard to get a bead on what she's supposed to look like at all.

As for the lack of clarity, I think that is explained perfectly in the fact that even the book's fans can't tell when a character is supposed to be female or not and collectively leans towards "this is a transwoman" because the artist can't make it clear. Or the fact that somehow Doreen hiding her tail in her pants doesn't actually change her shape at all even though the writing insists that it does.

>>83249284

What's the point of getting a comic if the art is trash
>>
>>83252646
She kind of seems to switch up.
Panel 3 is kinda monsterfaced.
Panel 5 is just kinda cute.
>>
>>83252905

the artist is playing with proportions to convey her childish interest in being an avenger

also note how back then she actively used her tail to do cute stuff when embarrased

they kinda sexed her up in the 90s as she became a comedy relief char

One of Rumiko's characteristics is exaggerated body movement, there isn't any there. It's like someone drew dolls standing around.

Not only is this webcomic tier art, it's not even that well done. You can see lines where there shouldn't be and some marks that should've been erased but weren't. This is lazy and unprofessional and the fact that Marvel allowed it is baffling.

Then again, US War Machines was a thing so they have an already bad record of what they take as "art."

You'll notice that if you check up on the most highly-acclaimed comic book issues that they tend to have awesome art attached, or at least very eye-catching

Comics is a visual medium, art is as important as being being able to frame shots on the cinema industry. The same way no one praises a movie with a good plot that it looks like it was filmed by a teenager on a 1.3 Mpx camera phone, no one will praise a comic book with a good plot and unattractive scribbles

At least Kubo has a reason for it, as far back as the first databook.
>I think drawing is not about drawing points and planes, but about depicting moods. Words aren't just lines, either. So whenever I deaw or write, I do it in a way that breathes life into the paper. For example, there's the background The background is drawn to tell you where the characters are, but I don't think that's very important. I don't want to draw backgrounds in frames where character's come in. In Bleach, when a new character comes in, there are times when the background is blank. This is because I want the character to create the mood just by standing there. I think a world is created by the interaction of the characters, so I try to draw my characters under that premise.
