Eh, I think Bitty's character design says more about her taste than her talent. I never really got into CP, but its style appeals to me much, much more than what I've seen of Blueliners so far. But art is, like, The Most Subjective, so difference in mileage is to be expected.

I gotta say nonny I must be blind because the art for Check Please and Blueliners looks kinda the same to me. Like if you told me the same artist drew them both I would believe you.

Re: Random Hockey Stuff

They're in the same general 'family' of styles, but the polishing is different.

Re: Random Hockey Stuff

The style is super similar but I think Check Please is more detailed

Ngozi's settings are super detailed, but her characters are simple and effective. I don't think Murakami's style fits making a comic very well, even though her portraits are pretty decent. I do think her lite semi-realism sometimes makes them come out a little same-facey, though.

The main thing to compare so far was the ice rinks for me. Ngozi's had much more of an atmosphere.

Well, now that the first page of Blueliners is out, I can officially say I'm not impressed by the art.

DA

I didn't mind the art that much, but there was so much dialogue. Admittedly I am more used to physical comics these days and haven't read a webcomic in a few years, so it might just be a stylistic trend that I'm not used to but all that text was overwhelming. I might just revisit it in a couple of months if people say it's good. Could just be growing pains.

The layout is in a way I can't read it normally and have to open every picture in a seperate tab and I'm too annoyed about it to actually read it right now lol

Re: Random Hockey Stuff

It's very.... flat?

I'm withholding judgment on hockey accuracy so far. But yeah, not impressed by the art at all.

Gotta say, that is the cleanest, whitest arena I've ever seen.

Re: Random Hockey Stuff

The font is exactly the same as CP, right? Is that just a really popular font? I don't read any other webcomics, so I have no idea. And I agree with the person who said it could've been by the same artist, the style seems super similar.

Re: Random Hockey Stuff

It's not the same font. I like the one used for CP better, as it has a character that matches the style of the art. The one Blueliners used looks like it could be a pretty generic or readily available one, the first thing it put me in mind of was manga scanlations.
