The line art in 780 is simply atrocious. The foreground and background have the same line weight, making the comic look like a jumbled mess of lines that takes a second to figure out. Also, the speech bubbles and text have thinner weights than the art. This, of course, looks simply awful.<br /><br />This one could have really benefited from color. The interior of the car, the man, and the sky all look the same, and again, the image takes a second to interpret. With most comics, what you're looking at it is immediately obvious. This is because artists vary line weight, use color or texture, and use a reasonably-sized art space to help the viewer's eye differentiate between shapes. Randall did not do any of this, which is why his comics, 781 in particular, are absolutely hideous.Yokel Ononoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-29188372708990984942010-08-20T17:05:23.199-07:002010-08-20T17:05:23.199-07:00Try listening to Breakeven by The Script.
