    I wish the illustrator would get his shit together again

    I seriously double and triple-checked the Illustrator credit just to make sure. That’s CRAZY. No perspective, barely any shading, no inking of the lines, barebones use of 4 colors… and then blurry brown rectangles because they were like “fuck it, I can’t be bothered to draw a second leg.” And now I just realized that’s supposed to be the same outfit on the guy… wtf?!

      Yeah, I would say it’s around volume 28 when it started to get sloppy. The cover for 29 was okay again, so I thought it was just a one-off thing, but 30 and now 31 are just sloppy.

      And the insight illustrations aren’t faring much better. Here is Rimee Ruu in volume 31 and 3.

      Rimee Ruu Volume 3

      Everything is just off-model and that’s especially jarring when you have read a series for such a long time. A series that excells at making the reader care for the characters.
