He's a better illustrator than comicmaker. His comicmaking skills are pretty weak, but he can render a drawing pretty well I guess.
Anyway he's nowhere near the only good western comic artist, nor the only good manga-styled comic artist, and I'd really hesitate to even call him a good comic artist at all. And "relevant" is a moronic way to look at it -- what, somebody isn't skilled if they don't have twitter followers? Smurf is basically irrelevant too, the only difference is he has a legion of followers from his smut. His comic is pretty damn bad, the only saving grace is that it has plenty of well rendered ass and tits.

Since when is their level of skill that indicative of their relevance? Andrew Hussey drew in a very simple amateurish way, and his comic was a bigger hit than most successful comics will ever be.

What's this guy even making? I've never heard his name before, so for all I care, the Bike Cuck artist is more important than this guy.

It's hard to criticize smurf without sounding like a crab because he is good. But he excels as a "twitter" artist not a comic artist.

The same way when a successful internet reviewer tries to make their own movie and it's terrible because they didn't hone every other skill needed for a full production. They feel like they can skip their shitty student film phase because they already have an audience. But when most of your career is fanart, memes, and random OC pictures you aren't going to make Berserk on your first try

Yeah, many artists think that good drawing skills and coming up with cool moments is all you need to make a great comic.
Aspects like good paneling and especially good story writing are arguably more important than art quality when it comes to making comics, yet the majority of indie comic artists never study these critical areas.
Why is that? Are they just unaware of the importance of these skills? Or do they think they're above it all?
It saddens me when I see an amazing looking comic but you can tell the author has zero clue about basic story writing and it's just dozens of "cool moments" awkwardly stitched together.

Even at it's worst, Dragonball produces a large variety of creative top tier designs.

Future Trunks, Cell, Beerus, the androids and Buu are lightyears above generic twitter OC action girl muscle waifu with mommy milkers #98453637.

The biggest problem with alot twitter artists is that they only a few characters they endlessly duplicate like Chris-chan making a dozen sonichu.

As far as i have observed, he seems really desperate to be acknowledged for being a comic artist rather than some coom-printer that he goes this far to try to clown on anons for twitter clout and circlejerk with other delusional fags like him.
Imagine, some 30 yo faggot spending his time spamming the same threads every month and then going on twitter and saying;
>"wow this guy is ragebaiting he must be obsessed i dont even post on ic lol lmao"
without being prompted to or having any real reason to be that specific.
It's very obvious he makes these threads himself.

If he wants to know his true value as an artist he should stop drawing the big titty muscle girls and see where that takes him.
The thing is, he fucking knows that no one gives a shit about his comic and only follows for the coom, and given his behavior, it bothers him a lot.

You gotta ask yourself, why give yourself so much work in making a comic when you could be working less, not be seen as a hack by others and rake in the dough from even more coomers?
He writes porn comics, but draws no porn. That's all he does.
>>6763639

Hey, Smurf.
You heard everyone

If you wanted to be recognized as a comic artist so badly, then go back to your roots.

Enough with the comfort bubble and learn decent writting, story boarding, and panelling just as how you grinded fundies, anatomy, and coloring 7 years ago

smurf im a former fan yours and I had to stop following you because all you do is bitch and complain. you have a massive bloated ego. you roam the web looking for people talking shit about you. you have a channel on your discord dedicated to posting about people talking shit about you. you seek validation from your dicksucker followers thinking they care about you. they are not your friends. people might like your art but the moment they catch a whiff of your annoying personality or your complaining posts on twitter they immediately lose interest. you make more haters than fans by being an annoying bitch online and the fans you do attract are either coomers or equally annoying people.

if you really do want to become a better artist and grow your following you first need to become a better person. please for the love of god work on yourself and stop egosurfing constantly.

That doesn't contradict my point at all. For every goku recolor we get an entire arc like the multiverse tourney that introduces dozens of crazy character designs.
