just came across this. what do you all think?
pretty sure it isn't a QC or file size problem lol. no amount of either justifies that level of quality, if there's any there to begin with. they need to redo basically all of it at this point
this series deserves latna saga or absolute regression levels of art. how do they expect to draw a handful of properly detailed nightmare creatures in one fight, let alone hundreds in the big ones, at this quality? if the opening with sunny drinking coffee already looks like that then woof
or superhuman era
64or leviathan, or berserk type art. aim high, it's earned it
71you don't need several people and multiple rounds of QC to work out that it was bad
QC? the problem was the AI art
i just hope they stop using AI pictures full stop
168typos though? wasn't this an unofficial translation anyway
translation? it's an english webcomic of an english novel, same as tbate. there's nothing to translate
97one of the most popular novels going and they're using ai on it. it's a joke 😢
it was so bad they're out here inventing excuses. suits are going to run this whole industry into the ground
i don't know how this team works specifically, but as an explanation it isn't impossible. art pipelines run on a loop: artist submits a rough, supervisor asks for a colour change, artist resubmits, supervisor wants panels resized, and round it goes, usually with a committee rather than one person, across several chapters at once. then marketing needs something to show publicly and you end up shipping a draft that was never meant to be seen. doesn't make it good, but it does explain how it happens
that would explain a preview looking rough. it doesn't explain choosing ai for the final art
