I liked how you mentioned her torso and her lack of rear end but you neglected to mention how fucked up her face is. Seriously, I could probably stand to read all through that comic no matter how cliche or stupid it turns out to be, but the way that guy draws faces bothers me so much I can't stand to look at any of his art.

I don't understand who can draw backgrounds so well is so terrible at the characters in them. Go find a Facial Proportion for Dummies book, buddy. Or maybe just study some photos. He might be surprised to know that eyes are not positioned at the sides of the head, but rather in the middle of the face with space about the length of one eye in between them.

I can sympathize with people who read and like crap as long as they know it's crap. But I think your friends are extremely disillusioned if they actually believe the art is beautiful. It might be beautiful if there were two artists and the present one only drew the scenes while the other drew the people, yeah. But now? Definitely not.

The reason why he's so talented at backgrounds is because he used to work as an architect. As for people, well, instead of drawing from life, he drew from Moe Moe Visual Romance Novels.

The funny thing is, it doesn't even look like moe-style, because even moe has some semblance of understanding of anatomy. And you can still tell the characters in most of them apart if you swapped their hair around; every girl in Megatokyo looks EXACTLY THE SAME and they all have the same drowsy I-just-overdosed-on-Nyquil expression on their horribly disfigured faces. >(

I didn't know the twat used to work as an architect. Though I guess that makes it worse because it means he has obvious potential but never uses it.

I went for weeks until I realized that the girl with glasses and her hair pulled back was Yuki in "disguise."

Re: 16

He's attempting to imitate a style of bishojo/harem/datesim games with a severe Moe slant. Which is, like many people who went into anime style without learning fundamentals, merely evocative of shooting himself in the foot, while said foot is jammed halfway down his throat, rather than selecting Option Three sweatily over the keyboard.

tl;dr, Word.

Re: 16

I didn't mention the wretched facial structures, as I somewhat concede that it's his "style,", a bit like sharp noses or lanky bone structures. But there is zero excuse for anatomy that doesn't exist in the real world.

Although you're right - it's still not a very good excuse for designs that don't make sense. The worst is when the characters are turned out at 3/4 view and their eyes just.... travel off of their faces with them. Christ.
