What's crazy to me is that you see people, even those that disagree with the artists, (even saw some examples here) say that even if they disagree, that the art is good. And I'm like ??? because, to me, this art style is legitimately ugly. It's all watery and blobby and with just blocks of color, and the expressions are so inhuman.
It's reminds of Junji Ito's art, but at least he's in the business of making unsettling art. Idk, I'm not an art critic, but to me this art is not good.
But yeah. I think people are just used to Stonetoss-tier schlock political comics so when someone who knows how to use color and shading at all does one, people lose their shit.
he draws people- often children- screaming, and he draws them VERY well, but that's all he does. all he knows how to do is attempt to elicit a very base reaction, literally using pearl-clutching "think of the children" bullshit in art form.

Doing a disservice to my boy Ito with that comparison

This is the only thing I think of when I hear the name Junji Ito

I liked the art style at first, but every one of his comics looks the exact same. Very little breadth

Wait, is this the same guy who made the baby eating Biden cartoon?
he might be, it sounds like him
deleted by creator
it looks ok, like the guy is better when drawing monsters, but his humans look basic
I like the demon king biden he does
It's definitely a matter of taste but also consider the competition when it comes to political cartoons
