Chiming in to say I agree with OP too, and I'm really surprised at all the vitriol and sarcasm in this thread. He's literally got the same style as about 8 million other porn artists. And yeah, I checked out his work after it was linked here. His "Alfie" comic? I had a hard time telling his two halfling characters apart, despite one supposedly being in like her 40's and the other girl being what I assume is the typical "lusty teen" trope. Sometimes it seems like he forgets to make the older character look her age and then you're left wondering which is which. To make it worse they're mother and daughter too, which if you know anything about character design and avoiding confusion means it's even MORE important to give a character a differentiating visual cue, whether it be a unique hair style, hair ornament, having the daughter be a mix of the mother and the father instead of a carbon copy of the mother, pretend I listed like a million more little tings you could do here but I don't feel like listing because I don't have the time.

So yeah. Checking out his stuff, I found myself confused. I think what possibly affected secret OP might be the same thing I noticed affecting me. At first it seems like he has a fairly unique "style", if you just kinda...glance at his stuff without going deeper. (And you're not familiar with all the other porn artists that draw basically that exact same generic later-disney-works inspired porn comic style.) Except the more I read his stuff on EHentai, and looked at his pics, the more they all kind of blended together for me. I would think I saw the same character in different comics but here it was a total different character. Things like that.

Eh. It seems like he's got his niche and what the hey, I'm a businessman too, if you can do it, go and get it, more power to him. I've done some pretty shrewd things that I absolutely think customers would probably feel essentially 'cheated' by (simply because I had the knowledge and contacts to make a sale where they didn't, but I charged an exorbitant amount for that knowledge and contact and did very little actual 'work'), which is basically what he's ding with both his style and especially the commission price deal. But I can totally see why OP is put off, about both the commission thing (which I addressed in another comment somewhere with more detail on why I think OP has a right to think that this is pretty pricey fr the work rendered) and the general semi-competent mediocrity. I feel like everybody here has a really low threshold for "quality". He's literally just a porn comic artist like all the others. Would I hire him to create something for a business? Absolutely not. He's not talented enough, and it's obvious he lacks a lot of professional training and direction. To his credit, he really, really did find his own niche though and it's pretty obvious he's sticking to it.

*Shrug* It really doesn't matter nearly as much to me as this comment might make it sound (it's late here and I'm stuck in bed bored to my defense). I get why he does what he does. But I also understand why OP has gripes. But apparently they're just 'jealous of his success' and 'ridiculous'.

Because you both are.

Hate to break it to you.
