I know it's all based on taste, but everyone I know thinks that this comic has the most beautiful art ever, but I just can't see it. The faces look so messed up to me, as with the general anatomy and proportions. The colors and backgrounds are nice, but other than that....
Can anyone help me see it? (because I really would like to understand, as art is important to me)

The art isn't hideous to me. It's gorgeously detailed, yet at the same time, I agree there is a weird sharpness and some very strange angles that ultimately make their faces unappealing. Like I know they're supposed to be beautiful and the potential is there but the artist's style or something just cock blocks. I still read the comic though because the rest of the art is, as you say, nicely colored and lushly detailed but those faces....

ah, okay, thanks for your input! I'm glad that I'm not alone on the face thing.

I think my problem with it is that there's a...strange sense of detailing everything for the sake of details instead of detailing what's important and what the reader should be focusing on in the frame. As a result, the eye kind of swims around the panel in an attempt to process all the detail instead of actually looking at what's important.

Yeah, I have to agree... the way it's "cluttered" distracts the eye and makes the flow seem off.

The art seems same-facey, actually. Just look at pink hair and longblackhair.

no, you're pretty much right. The facial structures of the characters are a) awful and b) all basically the same, even on the poor girls, and the artist constantly makes all these mistakes in continuity/perspective/etc but no one ever notices because ~ooh pretty pastelly colored buttsex~

there are plenty worse artists out there but there are just way too many small but incredibly annoying mistakes that are made way too frequently.

Well, you're right about the actual art being kind of meh, it's the coloring that's amazing. Though this comic has a professional colorist working on it ... so that's probably why the colors are so good

Nooo, I get what you mean. The faces are really weird and awkward. the coloring and backgrounds are great, but the faces are just there is something wrong with them. Like, remember that page in the garden with Lilith and whatshisface owner? blew me away except for the faces.

No, I'm with you. Like everyone else has said the coloring is gorgeous, but the faces all pretty much look the same or they look really bizarre. I still like it, but sometimes it'll just take me right out of the moment.

I like the super lush backgrounds and coloring-- as someone mentioned, the weird detailing for the sake of detailing is actually pretty bad, but I never noticed, because I don't give a flying fuck about any of the characters or the story :D

the faces kind of wig me out ngl though
