I don't know how well this would go over in smartsnark considering it seems a little grudgey, (it isn't, believe me, I just hate this comic on principle) but god dammit I have to snark the shit out of this thing. It's been bothering me. Sitting in its little corner of the web, mocking me with it's shiny but still obviously flawed artwork and ( Read more... )

An update a week isn't that bad for a full colour, full page webcomic. (My only comparison is Dreamless and The Zombie Hunters, the former of which apparently got a lot of flak for something or rather? Oglaf and HINABN aren't being counted, as Oglaf is stylised and intermittent; HINABN is also stylised and also has an idiosyncratic update schedule. QC is outright disqualified because um... 4-koma? Fulltime artist? Still stylised, dammit.) Amusingly, I do know a webcomic that has a scarce 90 pages over 2 years. It's... fortunately? still running though.

But yeah, colour and detail for a webcomic, CRAZY TALK. It's pretty but... why all that effort for a webcomic? Never mind the costumes are all over the place and just seem to be whatever is prettiest/hottest or that more detail equals a greater chance at getting things wrong.

Also, why does a brothel get such a large building with gardens? They're usually kind of small and unassuming and I doubt they'd have much use for a garden.
I also take issue with the fact that everyone 'off-duty' is chilling out in the front hall, where every potential customer can hear them arguing, rather than some room off the side where they can be shown to customers who wander in with no idea of what they are looking for. Obviously this is not the kind of place where they stay in their rooms until the receptionist/'house mother' sends a client to them, but you do not stick your workers out front and why the hell do I know so much about brothels and how they operate. Oh, right, fantasy novels.
