Change in drawing style over time = BAD

--- Quote from: Creothcean on 14 Mar 2008, 15:21 ---So, I recently decided to go back through the Questionable Content archives from the very beginning just to see how things have changed.
I will admit that Jeph's drawing style has improved, but there is still one major grievance that I have to raise:
The female characters are no longer very attractive.
Back in the day (particularly circa comic #300 or so) the female characters were attractive and it was possible to envision them as capable of attracting men (Marten in particular).
Now, they seem almost older and less "hot". Faye in particular now looks like she could be someone's mom or a middle-aged businesswoman.
No, I am not a hentai freak, but seriously, where's the sex appeal?

meh I wasn't a fan of the way Faye looked back in #300.
The very beginning was good art, very simplistic, I like that. I also like the current art.
Guy Jackson:
It's quite normal for comics to change in drawing style over-time without a change of artists. One example I can think of is Tintin (which started quite cartoony). Actually, many European (French, Belgian, Dutch) comics show progress in style. I think that when a cartoon artist draws the same characters over and over again, he is bound to improve on their looks. Maybe the characters become more like real people to the artist so he draws them better (more "realistic" and anatomically correct) as time progresses.

Yea, that's my general thought. Stuff like *shudder* CAD just makes you KNOW that he's copy-pasting everything. (Well, that, and the horrendously awful storylines and flat characters. But that's another rant.)

Why the hell are you reading CAD for deep storylines and characters? That's like watching a porn film for excellent acting and production.

That was the first webcomic that I read all the way through and checked regularly. Though it pales in comparison to QC or xkcd (the latter doesn't have a story, but damned if it isn't amazing), you have to admit the art has progressed well from comic #1.
