Yeah I was also thinking something either AI, or a whole bunch of filters/photo collage. The girl doesn't really look rendered by a human (although I know there are artists who can do that, it takes a lot of work). Either way, it could be an autonomous work, but I doubt it.

Honestly, it's actually the rise of AI art that's making me eager to go back to my art roots, less as a creator but more as a researcher. I think it's becoming more and more important we get a more thorough understanding of what art is to us, what entices us about it, and whether we want that to be replaced by something a machine can think of.

lol same!

"Major cause found; Becky is at it again!"

And now I cant unsee it :')

Gota be said; these seagulls are of way more peacefull breed than the one's by Franquin. They seem almost pleasant

I really like how you describe that... schoolboy-schoolgirl admiration stage! Although I'd say its rather one sided for Geanny, as Gaston seems more occupied with himself.... But maby that is typical for that fase/age as well...

And again well put; being a free spirit is too much of a character trait for both Asterix and Obelix to take it away.

Ah cool! Do you have a page online where I can check your work? because I'm really into that kinda stuff.

ah too bad

Every sizeable company gets one ;)

Good stuff. The 2nd panel is such a typical gag it had me wondering if franquin didn't actually do that joke before.

Also, the 'musician' looking closely like Jules-de-chez-Smith-ect-ect is a really nice touch

The Aztec Lizardmen. One of the more aesthetically pleasing fantasy races. Last thing I would have expected to find here :')

Although for me the rocket trough the roof takes it!

Find the French version of these strips and you might have your answer ^^'

Difficult to pinpoint exactly why it feels political. I think the little guy trying to get things done from the bigger creatures in a quote repetitive manner already kinda hints at it for me (the ostrich represents x, they other creature represents Y, and so on)

But especially near the end there's a lot of imagery that I feel could as well be used in the working class revolts for example.

I really adore this art style. The vibrant watercolours with those sketchy but clear defined lines are a dream.

Edit; between the media limited palette and how they're used, it's precisely on this line between concept and rendering where and illustration of discovering a non-existent continent should be. The artist might as well have been there, sketching what he saw .
