Comments on: Below the Belt http://blankitcomics.com/2010/07/05/below-the-belt/ A webcomic from Lem Pew and Aric McKeown Tue, 22 May 2012 17:21:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: NoriMori http://blankitcomics.com/2010/07/05/below-the-belt/comment-page-1/#comment-7805 NoriMori Sat, 06 Nov 2010 23:41:57 +0000 http://blankitcomics.com/2010/07/05/below-the-belt/#comment-7805 @E_is_for_Eric I don't consider the "subtle changes" at the beginning to be "real" changes. From all the manga I've read, it seems that every artist, no matter how talented or experienced, starts off a bit rough when they start something new. Fruits Basket is like that, Bleach is like that, even Death Note is like that. At first you don't notice, but then you get so far, and then you go back and wince at how amateurish the first few chapters look. I'm guessing Lemmo and Aric are no exception, and I think at first the art just started off rough and then gradually became less rough as they kept working on it. But this is a legit, sudden, purposeful change. Just sayin', I don't like it. Well, actually, I like Lemmo's hair more. That is, I like that the side bits are long now, instead of just the bangs. But other than that, I prefer the original style. @E_is_for_Eric

If you go back through the Blankit archives, you can see where Lemmo has made subtle changes to the art-style throughout the comic. I think right now he's trying something different. Maybe he'll stick with it, maybe he won't; I however think it adds to the overall appeal of the comic because I think it proves how much he cares about the comic that he is willing to continue trying new things with his drawing style. (I don't want to say improving and come across like I'm insulting him, but maybe he IS trying to improve his style.) As far as returning to the universe with Misty, King Ginger, and the Bugs... only time will tell. The way we are being enticed is definitely working to keep me interested. @NoriMori – I actually enjoy the different drawing style.

It really captures the slide tackle. So, Lemmo remembered that Aric is a college freshman, and Aric is bitter about it, suggesting that Lemmo is older (possibly a sophomore). Interesting that Lemmo remembers this but not his own name. Additionally, I don't think Aric and Lemmo knew each other pre-canvas. http://blankitcomics.com/2008/06/16/how-to-ruin-the-moment/ Is their memory returning? Nice job with the motion blur.
