Are there any anime-influenced western art styles that are actually appealing without dumbing down things or feeling like a bootleg? The only ones I can think off are probably thr Shantae games and Radiant

It's alright for an appealing cartoon style but some panels in that comic are ROUGH. I would like to see him push himself a bit more to develop more interesting illustrative works. His larger illustrations constantly have the problem where the characters look slapped onto a background and not actually within them.

>>6786836
Good. I like simple art styles

>>6786845
I don't think I've ever seen O'Malley draw in a style other than the usual SP. I've also noticed that he uses no construction when drawing even when it's a big piece. Not that it's a bad thing.

>>6786842
Yeah, basically.
Also, great song.

>>6786837
It was cool back in the 2000's when young men could still believe in love and young women weren't afraid to actually be cute and feminine
Now it's just retarded and gay, because women want to be a dumb whore that everyone fights over for no reason

His art? It's alright

Why his self-insert protag wants to date underage girls? Not so much

>>6786888
You realize scott is shat on for that in the book right?

>>6786860
This is from a book called Seconds. It was written after SP.
I don’t think he needs construction for his figures but might help with integrating them more into scenes when doing larger pieces.

Is this a China Irishman?
Shit's bonkers

>>6786900
Korean I think.
Looks pretty brown though

It's not the best thing since sliced bread, but it's pretty competent and reading the comic was effortless. Things flowed nicely, which is the most important trait a comic artist must be able to pull off.

The question is: why is this on /ic/?
What do you expect to accomplish with this thread and how is this going to affect your drawing?

Post something /ic/-related or fuck off back to /co/ where you can hear all the goblins saying their radical opinions on a cartoon's plot.

Also, the Chink girl was the best option, but it wouldn't have generated the plot, so...

>>6786888
Eggless lmao.

>but it's not /ic/ related!!
>OP explicitly wants to discuss an artist's art
>from a comic that is, obviously, drawn
Idiot

>>6786944
I could technically report this thread, but I'm instead giving OP some insight.

Instead of being a lazy faggot who just asks "OPINIONS??", he should give /ic/ some directions, explain what he wants to know about the art, this kind of discussion has zero purpose without a lens through which it should be looked.

>be phoneposter
Of course. Brain fried, no insight.

>>6786953
Jesus, you're a faggot

>>6786953
>Whining this hard over a post that is perfectly on-topic and well elaborated
>"B-BUT IT'S NOT THE WAY I WANT IT WHAAA"
Goodness, you're such a faggot

>>6786836
look pretty good other than a few art clashes

>>6786904
Is it literally supposed to look like his nuts are dangling between his legs in that shot?
Because that's what the sword makes it look like

The damage that Scott Pilgrim did to the comics industry and teenage girls is irreparable

>>6786836
i enjoy it

>>6787012
The comics barely did anything, it was the movie that had a everlasting effect

>>6786837
It ruined a generation of women.

>>6786837
It made me trans after reading it

>>6787056
I could tell, anon

I love Scott pilgrim. I think the art is decent, I hate the classic comic book style so it was a draw for me.

>>6786842
Lmao I feel like most millennial women had a Ramona flowers phase (myself included)

>>6787062
>myself included
You know the drill.
Post em

>>6786978
>>6786987
I gave my opinion on the art as well, so you brownoids have nothing on me.
Kill selves.

>>6787004
>literally
Kill yourself too.

>>6787076

>>6787076
>literally
well, is it?

>>6787062
Post tits or gtfo

>>6786836
Good but inconsistent. I swear scott looks different every time he draws him. Granted the books are over a decade old at this point.

>>6786836
where's the construction?

>>6787544
He literally doesn't use construction

>>6787561
so doesn't mean mean his art is bad?

>>6786892
Bad things aren't allowed to happen in fiction or you're bad.

>>6787589
No. The end result is what matters

>>6786836
People forget how beloved and influential his work was at one point - like Hewlett's work, at one point everyone was trying to copy O'Malley... Actually, I wonder if the dog-shit "calarts style" that everyone harps on wasn't partly because of O'Malley's influence?... Not a criticism against him though, he can't control other talentless idiots.

It suffers from same-face, and his characters can be hard to tell apart without colour, but it's still full of charm, and it's immediately recognisable as his work (or was anyway).

>>6786837
Fairly fun comic about a dude in love with a girl who has 7 evil ex-boyfriends he must fight to win over. It's also full of relationship and angsty self-reflective drama, but it's well written with endearing characters and some comedy that lands well - though the "final boss" and his encounter are really anti-climatic.

It's the kind of stuff teenagers would adore, but still a fun read as an adult if you give it the leeway. I need to give seconds a read sometime.

>>6786836
appealing, simple and recognizable

>>6786892

>>6786888
It's not a bad thing. The girls aren't underage. They're the perfect age. You people act like dating a 17 year old is bad

>>6786888
Never understood how Scott is his self insert. They look nothing alike. Does he want to be a ginger guy in his 20s?

>>6788744
Learn what bait is

>>6788746
He has said it himself that Scott is his idea of a Canadian white boy that gets away with everything, someone who he said he wished to be

>>6788808
Who the fuck would want to be a jobless loser with a psychotic whore of a girlfriend and is so poor he can't afford his own goddamn bed and has to sleep with his gay roommate?

>>6786837
A Canadian comic made around 20 years ago about a 20 something named Scott who pines for a girl he just randomly met named Ramona Flowers. However, before they can be together, Scott must fight and kill her 7 evil exes (one of them is a women btw).

Very fun comic with a surprising amount of nuance, emotional intelligent heart and a good message im not sure i want to spoil.

The og graphic novels are a fun read. The artsyle is manga influenced but is distinctive and intresring enough on its own to feel unique.

The movie is very good as well!

I recommend both if you ever have time to kill

>>6786953
i've been going on this site for nearly a decade and this has to be one of the most faggiest posts i've seen in that time

this post is the definition of faggot, please go back to lebbit

>>6786838
what the fuck is a bpd whore?

>>6789629
You've been demoralized into accepting low-effort posting as the norm. And you're proud ot it.
Congratulations.

>>6789629
loser's been a beg for 10 yrs lul kys

>>6787025
The movie was hardly even that popular, in fact, wasn't it a flop? It might be a cult-favourite, but women barely give a shit about the underground so that doesn't mean anything.
Anyway, women were going in this direction culturally anyway, it's just funny to say women are so shallow that they based they're entire lives off of a fictional character like Ramona Flowers.

>>6787004
I actually remember when O'Malley posted that art, and when someone pointed that out he couldn't unsee it. So no, just a mistake on his part (or him playing along with the joke).

>>6788826
Because its just a funny story featuring characters you hate that you like, could possibly see a little bit of yourself in, but not necessarily root for. This isn't directed at you but I wish people in general would slide the stick out of their asses and learn to enjoy things without attaching their own current year culture war bullshit or their personal emotional turmoil about women, men, etc into a goofy comic made for its time. Or anything for that matter.
