I wish the illustrator would get his shit together again
I seriously double and triple-checked the Illustrator credit just to make sure. That’s CRAZY. No perspective, barely any shading, no inking of the lines, barebones use of 4 colors… and then blurry brown rectangles because they were like “fuck it, I can’t be bothered to draw a second leg.” And now I just realized that’s supposed to be the same outfit on the guy… wtf?!
Yeah, I would say it’s around volume 28 when it started to get sloppy. The cover for 29 was okay again, so I thought it was just a one-off thing, but 30 and now 31 are just sloppy.
And the insight illustrations aren’t faring much better. Here is Rimee Ruu in volume 31 and 3.
Rimee Ruu Volume 31
Rimee Ruu Volume 3
Everything is just off-model and that’s especially jarring when you have read a series for such a long time. A series that excells at making the reader care for the characters.
A third person sitting in front of the girl, leaning forward with the head and arm cut off by the image crop. At least that would be be my interpretation of the picture without any context.
Holy shit, I didn’t see it either. Very unusual crop. And. ade worse by the fact that the 3rd leg looks very much like the 2nd leg and the shirt is very plain and definitely could read as a blanket or shaw.

I noticed similar with the latest Average Abilities. There is a 3rd leg?

How did I look at it for so long and never notice! I thought it was a blanket around her.
It’s where’s Waldo all over again. I couldn’t even find him on the front cover.
To be fair, the crop is unusual. My hint was that it looked like a stagecoach, and I didn’t see anyone holding the reins.
