I heard Natashi was contacted to draw all the pages at the last minute, though I don’t think she’s really suited for superhero comics in general.

>>4050690
>I heard Natashi was contacted to draw all the pages at the last minute
I doubt it's true, but if true I would have declined instead of producing this garbage and making excuses for it. What kind of professional does this?

>>4050674
I like the art, the writing is fucking mongoloid.

>>4050694
One who get paid.

>>4050694
>denying an easy 5 grand because you got a deadline

Not gonna make it.

>>4050697
try doing the same to see what happens, fag.

>>4050674
so they publish weeb shit now ?

>>4050704
>he doesnt know

>>4050700
I would, crab.

The problem is when you don't have braindead fanboys supporting your shit job for being a wymyn so you can get hired again. An actual artist who needs to have something to show to get hired would avoid this like the plague. You will be complimented for your best work, but what decides if you get hired is your worst work. But oh wait, they wouldn't hire this kind of artist in the first place.

>>4050690
Depressing how you even know the name of whoever shat out this horrendous "comic".

You guys sure have a vast knowledge of what not to do in this industry...

>>4050759
Well I made a typo but Natasha Allegri’s style is fairly recognizable and she’s known for her work on Adventure Time and Bee and Puppycat

>>4050837
Holy fucking jpegs, Batman.

>>4050837
why does the red head dude make me want to throw up?

>>4050847
he looks like a gayer seth rogen

>>4050847
Because you are homophobe

>>4050859
why did you assume he's gay?

>>4050847
he's the classic onions boi

>>4050861
Because he is heterophobe

>>4050837
I fucking hate this mutant animesque tumblr style so much AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

>>4050674
i wonder whats the sory about if a random page taken out is just characters discussing how gay they are with badly written dialog

>>4050847
Because you've probably seen that one comic that gets posted here (not necessarily on this board but on 4chan in general) a lot about two fat dudes worrying about if their families will accept their relationship and it ends with them preparing to fuck before the bottom needs to take a shit. The ginger in >>4050837 looks like one of them.

>>4051199
don't hurt yourself doing all those mental gymnastics, he just looks like a fag.

>>4051251
You look like a fag.

>>4050940
>just characters discussing how gay they are with badly written dialog
welcome to the future of comics

Im gonna do one better

>>4051265
what the fuck am I looking at

>>4050714
Dude he published with marvel, the name alone makes you hired auto matically.

reminder that comics are not art, they are consumed for the story and thrown away. back in the day you were lucky if the printing plates matched up enough for an eye to be on someones face and not three panels down on a sausage.

>>4050674
>>4050837
why they're pushing this gender shit so hard?

>>4051423
cos theres an audience for it? $$$, what else?

>>4051436
>implying sjws buy comics

>>4051265
fucking kek this is kino

>>4050837
>style is fairly recognizable
Mmm yes, it's recognizably shit, but maybe an authentic poop sommelier can understand the nuance.

>>4051394
Marvel has no standards at this point

>>4051479
I didn’t mention anything about quality, I just recognized her art because any cartoon fan who doesn’t live under a rock would at least know of her, plus her art was hugely popular in the past so I’d even come across it anyway without meaning to.

>>4051529
this is nice

>>4050837
who coloured this. who thought the red was a good idea

>>4051436
No there isnt.

They dont buy products. Comics, movies, TV, games, they dont buy any of them. Its a false market that doesnt exist because its literally just 30 fat people on twitter.

How do you go from this: >>4051529
To this: >>4050837?

>>4051782
>Its a false market that doesnt exist because its literally just 30 fat people on twitter.
It's true that companies are alienating their current player base to cater to an audience that won't buy their shit, but it's definitely not a tiny vocal minority. 3 people out of 5 I see on Twitter have that pronoun shit in their profile.
This might be a long term thing, Marvel Comics maybe does this because they're retarded and they don't know shit or simply because Disney wants them to even if that means collateral damage, but there are huge, non-dying companies that pander to SJWs without pressure and I'm sure whoever did market research for them is more informed than me or you.

>>4051875
>3 people out of 5 I see on Twitter have that pronoun shit in their profile.
ON.

TWITTER.

Not real life, not on other sites, on TWITTER. One site. Yes its a vocal minority.

>>4051784
the only difference is the lineart is more polished

>>4051878
You're very obviously wrong.

>>4051876
>Not real life, not on other sites, on TWITTER. One site.
It's the second largest social media in the world after Facebook and there's a massive overlap with the relevant audience. It's not a small website.
But ok, let's say Twitter is not relevant. Why is every large entertainment company going full rainbow flag? They surely know better than us, they hire people specifically to handle this marketing stuff. They don't decide to go woke just because.

>>4051900
>>It's the second largest social media in the world after Facebook and there's a massive overlap with the relevant audience. It's not a small website
Its not a small website but again you dumb faggot you're forgetting the key problem here:

Comics are a small market.

Adding onto that
>Not all comic consumers are on twitter
>The vocal minority, once again, dont fucking buy comics
>They are in fact a minority
>Factually

>>4051900
>Why is every large entertainment company going full rainbow flag? They surely know better than us, they hire people specifically to handle this marketing stuff. They don't decide to go woke just because.
Because they're fucking LOUD and SCREAM you dumb fuck.

Theres no actual market value in an incredibly miniscule minority, but they pander to them because they mistakenly believe they're a larger audience then they really are. And they have prominent positions in "journalist" fields with which to preach their narratives making it seem more common and normal than it actually is.

None of what you're fucking saying is going to trump the fact that A) a factual majority of people arent involved with this shit and B) Unless its a monolithic institution of entertainment like Disney/Marvel films, this shit usually doesnt make money or doesnt make as much money as they previously did. Look at Marvels sales and for years they've been in the shithouse.

>>4051904
>>4051912
It's just that I can't believe you can just shit up a whole company like that, there must be an underlying reason that is going over our heads. I think any large company will have safeguards against this retardation.
The only way I can explain this is that Disney is telling Marvel Comics to go woke because they're under their wing now, at the cost of alienating their audience, because the marketing push from SJWs tweeting that shit will offset Marvel Comics making even less money.
The SJWs may be a loud minority but they talk about stuff a lot. Maybe they have an effect on what actually gets by and what doesn't. Maybe the loud minority doesn't buy shit but by sheer presence on the internet they give massive exposure to things that pander to them, which results in sales.
I think this might be a good explanation, you let the internet market things for you. Maybe it's the best and most viable way of marketing on the internet?

>>4051918
I would also add that Marvel AFAIK doesn't publish digital sales, all you know about sales is what Diamond publishes. Maybe this shit is selling more than one would think, idk.
I just can't understand why this shit is happening. And almost every week an artist in my feed takes the marketing decision to do some pandering. It must work in some way.

>>4051918
>It's just that I can't believe you can just shit up a whole company like that, there must be an underlying reason that is going over our heads
Almost as if, and stay with me now, there is an (((agenda))) of some kind?

>>4051918
>It's just that I can't believe you can just shit up a whole company like that, there must be an underlying reason that is going over our heads. I think any large company will have safeguards against this retardation.
It's called PROFIT
They wouldn't do this if they weren't raking in billions of dollars. You will keep seeing more of this until it is no longer profitable. Just because you're upset about it doesn't mean that the rest of the world is. If that were the case they wouldn't be doing this stuff at all. Investors love this shit and Disney loves money. It's a big win for both.

Marvel actually increased sales AFTER Disney bought them in 2009

>>4052170
>2015

>>4052175
It's the most recent chart showing comic sales I could find. Feel free to post a more recent one proving whatever point you're trying to make here

>>4051199
I haven't seen that comic and I still hate this

>>4051265
soul

why do americans always have only two of something? two political parties? two comic publishers? two ethnic identities (white and coloreds)? are americans too stupid to count to three?

>>4054146
>two comic publishers
Theres way more than two retard.

Marvel and DC arent even at the top by as wide a margin as you probably think. Image is a close third.

You also got Valiant, Darkhorse, IDW, Boom, Dynamite, etc. etc.

>>4054219
libertarian, tea, whatever parties also exist, not the point

>>4054225
Motherfucker thats completely different from the comic book situation are you god damn retarded?

tbqh if it was animated it would be impressive, but impressive at the lowest tier

Lost in protestantism?

At this point is making it even worth it. This is from Street Fighter V btw.

Anon, the artist that did the story art in SFV is fucking Bengus, probably one of the most prolific artists for Capcom along with Shinkiro for over 25 years

But yeah you aren't the only one who was puzzled by the drastic drop of quality in his artwork in SFV considering he was such a juggernaut in the 90's and early 2000's

>>4056077
Beingus fell off hard...

>>4050674

I don’t play street fighter but based off these images I get the impression that moeshit trends fucked him up

>>4056050
>>4056051

I feel like the story mode artwork was done on a shorter time frame than some of the posters he did for street fighter V

I still like his colors/lighting even if he adopted the moe shit into his work

>>4056051
>>4056050
>>4056077
I refuse to believe this is the same artist. This is really Bengus? It's impossible. It doesn't even have the slightest resemblance to Bengus, even if he was doing some ultra sloppy sketches you would have recognized him. Unless he's got some neurodegenerative disorder my money is just that the credits have been mistranslated, the art in the US version has been changed, or they're using his name and had assistants do the work.

>>4050674
I can smell the Cal Arts from across the ocean.

>>4059019
Actually, it's the University of Arizona

>>4051529
Did this one comic actually start it all?
Is there anything western similar to Scott Pilgrim before Scott Pilgrim?
Did one guy copying japs literally shape the whole calarts style?
