    Wait you're telling me that corporations use popular art styles?! What the frick why could they be doing this. It's not like you get some kind of monetary award for chasing trends, or that there's a bunch of artists out there who can produce work fast. This is truly a mystery for the ages.

      Yeah, it's a legitimate wonder why they vastly overestimated the popularity of tumblr and its culture.

    Inflation and rising COL means:

    >Less classically trained artists because school is too expensive
    >Good art doesn’t pay enough to keep the lights on

    Which means the only people who get into the industry are autistic morons who are ok with living off peanuts with their poorly made drawings. Anyone with enough intellect to produce anything good are just working at a bank or something doing spreadsheet work.

    >It’s all because muh capitalism

    No, it’s because western countries imported millions of immigrants and drove the cost of living up for everyone whilst driving down wages.

        No. If the West took a Libertarian stance to everything, we’d be better off.

    tumblr gays are more prone to acts of nepotism and the only way to get into the comics industry is through nepotism.

    real talk anon, how old are you?
    Tumblr has been irrelevant for like 7 years now. The tumblr comics thing(like your example) is like 8+ years old.
    I pick a random comic from the last week off Getcomics and it's just gonna be this bland realistic style most of the time.

        No, they're not, you've just been feed out of context panels to rage about, you don't actually read any comics. Tumblr isn't culturally relevant, and you're still stuck in 2015 if you think that it is.

      Honestly, that page is pretty cool. Narration boxes are pretty wordy, but the action is cleanly told and you can tell what's happening. Not saying you're not right about OP being a whiny little b***h, but I'd like to think that's just you and me finding a middle ground here.

        That's hardly the tumblr artstyle from 2011 Cinemaphile complains about. That's just the art sensibility of people under 30. Do you people really expect artists under 40 to draw like Jim Lee's ass?

    >Some guy
    This is really my strongest nitpick here. "Some guy" on an anonymous board could be anyone, their art being thought as better doesn't do anything to cheapen the original. If he's among like-minded people they'll prefer his drawing too. Not to mention some guy is only doing one squirrel girl and not a whole comic or series of comics. Even preferring the right image this is a stupid comparison.

    Those are B-series nobody reads so it's a good thing they give no-name artists a chance at them, but I'm starting to think comic book wages are just so shit anyone who'd be good enough to carry Squirrel Girl already has better options than slaving away at Marvel for 100$ a page, no residuals, moronic deadlines, and half the internet calling them a troony.

      Well yes anon. Publishers have books with different styles of writing. Publishers that publish children's books also publish books for adults.

    Bonus, they aren't horny and problematic like latAM and SEA artists.

    Because Tumblr is willing to work for below-minimum-wage labor. Simple as that.
