Hello! I love your art and your comics! Youre one of my biggest art inspirations rn. I have a question about Cale's design: Are the two red markings around Cale's right eye also eyes since he's a spider, or are those scars?

They're his eyes

I think in a vacuum idolomantises designs and art is decent and I wouldn't blame any of his fans for disagreeing with my criticism regarding it , considering he managed to get his bug comic off webtoon canvas and be "official" (idk exactly how that works or proper terms for it?) , he clearly worked hard for it. Regardless of my personal opinions, anyone who can find the motivation to commit to a long term project and put themselves out there deserves respect for that at the very least

It just my first exposure to him was from his redesigns and criticisms regarding Vivziepop , so I can’t help but compare the standards he sets onto other artists (mostly vivziepop) and than now that applies to his own art

I won’t deny there's some bias on my end when discussing his work. Not because I think Vivziepop is an artistic genius who can't do no wrong (my god has she done a lot wrong) , but it's incredibly fascinating to me how idol is capable of going in depth regarding giving criticism to Vivziepop's work

and then you look up his actual art and writing , and it's not only suffering from similar issues to Vivziepop's work, but it's got even more glaring issues I'm frankly surprised Idol didn't spot before posting?

I will say I think Monsters and girls is the better comic compared to Bugtopia , primarily because it’s not meant to be as plot focused and works more as a gag strip collection. I think with that one idol either needs to make the lore of monsters and girls actually relevant to the characters and have the art reflect said lore ,(just look up my post discussing Sera’s design for why) or just throw it all out the window and be more weird with it. Like the looney tunes logic of “who cares so long as it’s entertaining” but it’s lesbians instead of drag queens

With idol’s bug comic however, it flip flops to a story that you’d expect for a young child (like Dot trying to find a cake or a bunch of kids going to school) to discussing the sex life of random characters with no lead way or transition, it just randomly does that throughout

Obviously you can have children characters in stories for older audiences, even ones for just adults. The problem is the tone feels extremely different when idol swifts focus between the characters

It’s like if in the Rugrats the babies had their normal baby adventures, but then we switched focus to the adults and suddenly they’re discussing BDSM and their fetish preferences. It’d just be genuinely bizarre to do, even if said hypothetical Rugrats example was an adult only cartoon

and like I got a lot of problems with the world building but I’m just gonna leave it at this: How come tiny little insects that exist in a world with normal sized animals (and presumably humans) , somehow have human food and objects, such as New York styled cities, that’s insect size? Why isn’t the comic taking advantage of the fact these characters are bugs and using that to make creative environments to enhance the world building/lore (like homes inside of trees or cell phones as TVs?) ???

#rambles #idolomantis critcism #character design #Still amazed they called me a mad hoe for a vague post where #Literally the ONLY way you’d know I was talking about him was the fact I said “webtoon artist with a viv hate boner”#Like yeah I was talking about him but it wasn’t tagged #And there’s millions of artists on webtoon I seriously doubt that he is the only one on the app who doesn’t like viv #But yeah his criticism and art is really fascinating to me to compare #I honestly doubt anyone else has ever considered comparing the two much less make any connection #Because I think it’s a whole other experience compared to someone who reads his comics and not his viv criticisms #Obviously a series on Amazon is drastically different to a webcomic BTW

Bugtopia creeps closer and closer to its debut as a Webtoon Original, so I thought I'd share one oc my favorite scenes from canvas:
