Wow, I've never seen these pages before. Thanks for sharing, and I hope people understand to click inside the post.
These really are an amazing mash-up of styles. To me they look kind of like elements and lifeforms existing inside a larger lifeform, sort of like in Kerascoet's masterful Satania. I sure wouldn't mind seeing a whole story like this.
But I've seen little forum and blog posts indexed within a day of their posting, and those are places which draw a fraction of the traffic that big instances do.
Yes, and I get that Lemmy is distributed, but any particular thread is still discretely available at it's home (generational) instance. It's not hard to understand, and I don't see why a cutting edge corp like Google couldn't figure out the best means of tracking such situations.
I mean-- all they need to do is assign a couple of their standard web crawlers to content native to the big instances, right? Or are you saying that the fact that most content is appearing as mirrored content is preventing such bots from working properly.
Sorry, I don't mean to appear dogmatic or needlessly argumentative; I just don't get it.
Eh, that makes sense on the surface, but consider how Brand X is normally so ridiculously voracious upon content.
Example-- try doing a Brand X-specific search on something posted on Lemmy months ago, versus some little-known blog post two days ago. Are you sensing the pattern, now..?
"The better to see with, my dear."
XD
Oh dear, LOL..
He seems to be a commission artist, one of these folks who don't necessarily do comics, but make art in 'LC' style. They're have been a couple other artists like that I've posted before, such as a couple Spanish guys.
Just searching around Pinterest, or the web, is how I mostly find such stuff.
Oof, indeed. (don't ask me how that's going in the States, because it's not going well)
Btw, on that theme, I found another by "Hades" (I like how Haderer signs his name like that): https://i.imgur.com/iYI2S21.jpg

Agreed about the art! I'm not sure who else's art in BD is as technical but also as beautiful as Giménez, except Enki Bilal's and Moebius' art.
Btw, @Nacktmull@lemm.ee and I have recently talked about spending more time on the works of German artists. May I ask if you have any favorites there?
Bwahaha, the ~~Asterix~~ Obelix one in particular just slays me. Anyway, wow, I'd never heard of him before. What a great style all the way around! I love that combination of somewhat vulgar content in lovingly-rendered watercolors. Or like the other commenter better said "it’s as horrible as it’s good." XD
Btw, Lambiek has a very nice biographical entry on him, and mentions that he did a weekly cartoon for News magazine. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any examples online or compilations in archives of such, but I'd indeed be curious what his weekly work was like, which I'm guessing differs somewhat from his painterly works.
I've also added this to the review / intro archive. Great stuff, and thank you for sharing. =)
Geez, I haven't read the John de Fool sequence in ages, but I remember his flying bird-friend being made out of cement, and typically commenting "CROOT!" :D
I thought that was a big part of how Spiner made Data just about the most interesting character in the series-- the understated little flourishes, tics, and burblings of emotion showing through.
To me a very clever variation on Nimoy's amazing work on Spock in the series before, but of course Brent made the character wholly his own to the point that it barely registered that he was cut from the 'Spock template.'
