Old Strips vs New Strips

(1/3) > >>

Jace:
There's two parts to this post.

The first:

Why is there a random button when the comic is nearly completely story driven? This makes me laugh because the random button was how I started reading it from the beginning. A lot of "hmm, random. Well, I don't get this, better go back to the beginning of the arc." over and over.

The second:

Go back to like comic 79, look at the art, look closely at the art. Then, go to today's comic. Be full of amazement at how much the art has evolved over time. At least, I'm full of amazement.

Joybee:
I just found this comic last week, and read it over the course of three days. It was cool to see the evolution of Jeff's drawing, how it gradually got more and more detailed and stylistic. It's hard to catch sometimes, like watching a shadow in the sun or the clouds. Every once in a while I'm like "Ohhh the eyes are changed" but i wouldn't notice for a while. It's really neat to just keep clicking random and looking at how different each comic is drawn.

It was a lot like that with me, too. I don't know if you're an artist, but for me, I really am fascinated by it, and the same goes for Penny Arcade and other comics. It's a lot like when I look back at pictures I've made in the past, though like Jeph has said, that can be REALLY humbling when you think your own stuff looks like crap.

Yeah I actually am too haha and I've kept all the stuff I had from grade 8 in my sketchbooks. It's really interesting to look at and see how your style has evolved. Sometimes I even look at it and go "wow I drew that hand really well" and I'm actually impressed that i could do that at 12/13 years old, and sometimes not so much haha

Doug S. Machina:
It is really impressive how the art has developed. Somewhere around strip #100 there's newspost that says "I consider that this comic started at #17, but by #1000, Jeph seems to have come to terms with the past.
