Another 'I love the art development!' I think Faye in particular is looking extra snazzy today and give major props to Jeph!
Depression is bitch and I hope you feel a bit more awesome, jeph. My own last year has also been no fun. I actually started drawing more of my cartoons to combat it!
Webcomics Against Depression!
tinkerbell:
I am not sure how to word it... it is just... better! I suppose if I were an artist I might know why. I find that I am focusing a lot more on Faye's eyes than I used to, and I can see why anyone would want to stare into those...
We all love you Jeph. Not like, creepy love. An appropriate amount of love.
innermoppet:
Faye's face just looks amazing in this one. Jeph is really honing in on the subtleties of facial structure. Earlier on in his work, all this characters sort of resembled each other, but now he's really getting a handle on subtle ways to make them be individuals.
The first panel is my favorite, because Faye looks really adorable even while she is being cantankerous.

Very nice work as always Jeph, you put my pathetic scriblings to shame...

Dora's upward eye-roll in panel 2. Faye's face in panel 3 (hell, Faye's face through the whole strip). There's a new level of realism here, not only is Jeph trying poses and angles he's never approached (well, not in a finished strip), he's pulling it off with an artistic sensibility that puts the finest comics to shame!

Compare todays with http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1477 to see the changes with Dora, or http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1476 for Faye.
Panel three is my favorite, the tweaks in the art really help sell the expressions.
IanClark:
My favourite part about the new style is how the characters look more real yet they don't lose their charm as is the case in many realist art pieces (or anything in HD). Usually when someone makes the transition into a more true-to-life depiction, it's the newly-revealed flaws which are most prominent, but here it just makes all the characters that much more loveable.
