so I took a break from goncharov on Reddit and okay I’m gonna be called a hater for this post and it’s generally not a comilfo to redraw other peoples art but I was wondering why the hell does this one popular reddit artist annoy me as hell specifically and after some consideration and the fact that their art gets more updoots and patreon money than I’ll ever will so why not do some critique lol. Here’s the comic with all its awards and upvotes
Tumblr media
And beside ah my obvious jealousy over their popularity I could wrap my head on when they reuse the same pose in every four-panel comic and that’s what annoys me, but what was hashing my mellows with this one so much.. and then I figured every since panel had the same expression. Comic art relies heavily on knowing hot to draw and use expressions to pass the idea further, otherwise a comic like this could have been a text post until the last panel.
So I’m not a comic artist but I did a really quick redraw trying to copy op’s style but with more expressive faces (I tried to keep as most of the image original and edit only a bit). Here it is to compare
Tumblr media Tumblr media
My changes:
First panel is fine, I only changed eyebrows because they stay the same the whole comic. Also made the character look more at the audience because saying “we” while she’s looking away is kinda weird.
Second panel, character’s eyes are closed. Different expressions would suffice but whatever. More relaxed expression gives the reader a break from the highly energetic first panel.
Third panel, the Bank’s face is very relaxed and their eyes are not even looking back at the main character, they don’t care about at her that much. It’s a mundane task with a quick answer.
Fourth panel, the expression is almost the same with strained open eyes and wide mouth as in the first, more boisterous panel, but this time the character is clearly stressed or desperate. And again she looks at the reader because “we” learn the lesson.
Think of Tin Tin, Nancy, Peanuts, a face can be draw very simple yet it has its own simplified expressions. Obviously sometimes characters have same stone-cold expression but again that depends on a style and themes blah blah. In this case every panel is energetic which reads as a little exhausting. By softening the expressions and getting rid of wide-ass smiles in the middle panels you create for readers a moment to rest before hyping it up again in the last panel. Or so I think.

i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.

"people show their true colours in life threatening situations" no, they show you what they act like when they're mortally terrified, an emotion notorious for literally turning your entire brain off to the point where people who go into those situations as a profession need to be literally trained on how to not have that happen

it should be illegal to put ads in apps or sites for solitaire or picross or sudoku tbh. playing classic puzzle games uninterrupted needs to be a HUMAN RIGHT

at the end of the day it's not that you hate your job - actually, you like working, you like routine, you like feeling like an adult - it's that any time you fuck anything up, you feel like you're fucking dying.
because you could be actually fucking dying. because if one day you wake up and you misunderstood something - you could lose your job, and nobody is hiring, and nobody is paying, and nobody takes people like you, and that job you want hasn't gotten back to you. and what exactly are you going to do without insurance? good luck with those meds. you should have thought of that before being a person.
so it's not just that you forgot to CC someone on an email, it's that if you don't have this job, you can't afford rent. it's not that you misread a comment, it's that if you get fired, you will be in massive amounts of unpayable debt. it's not that you are bad at your job, but here are the stakes as they have been decided for you: be perfect or fucking die. like, literally, die. that is how much safety net you have: none.
it's not burnout, technically. but you literally just had two typos in your work, and you're already picturing the ending. you want to throw up & curl up & make it all go away. it is two typos. if he decides he is mad at you, you lose literally everything.
your mom says that you seem stressed. the thing is that you have never known a job that isn't stressful. welcome to capitalism. there is no other road, only this one. what the fuck is a career. you come here, and we hold your life against the barrel of a gun, and somewhere someone is spinning the chamber and pulling. eventually the bullet will come.
you live in a mugging. your boss owns three cars and has four kids. you worry about having enough to feed your dog. good luck. beg for forgiveness. CC the right people next time and be grateful, kid. somebody has it worse than you. someone, probably, has it worse than you. so what if you can't sleep or eat or focus. your work chat sound literally makes you panic. you had to change the sounds of computer notifications so you'd stop having such an upset stomach.
welcome to the real world! the rat race! the dog eat dog circus!
your doctor studies the results and frowns at you. "it's bad for your heart," she says. "try to reduce your levels of stress."
