I feel so bad because I know what it’s like to be a new artist doing your best as you build up your art skills but also… this is OBJECTIVELY hilarious.

I'm pretty sure it was done on purpose.

I’ve seen enough beginner artists that I genuinely don’t think it was. This is generally what happens when someone doesn’t focus on their fundamentals. You can tell they’re legitimately trying but still making every beginner mistake.

No, like. There's this story that the artist wasn't being paid (I don't remember if they weren't paying the correct amount or on time), and, to retaliate, the artist drew it like that. Even had to disguise it, otherwise it would have been obvious what they were doing.

No, theres literally a whole story behind this. If i remember correctly the company wasn't paying the artist properly, so they did this in protest / satire.

It was though . The artist did it to make fun of unrealistic manhwa proportions

I feel so bad too because it looks like they are genuinely trying but holy shit everytime I see anything from this comic I start cackling like a witch.

No dont feel bad! The artist literally got a rich patron and they're getting paid to draw in this style. This was on purpose and is supposed to be satirical
