Liz is now exactly how she should look for the character. Her new look is superior to the old one in every possible way. I suppose I can see the debate continuing for Kit, but it shouldn't for Liz. She looks pretty much how I pictured her in my head, and I should have drawn her this way (or at least in an anime-equivalent of this way) from the start. Liz isn't a "cute" character and so the old look never quite fit her for me.

Though, a lot of this reasoning is based on stuff that I know that no one else does, so it might not make total sense yet.

1.5 x 0 = 0!

Except the Joker didn't have to take into account the "Duurr??" that makes up a good portion of the interweb.

There seems to be no joke or story element that is perfectly clear to everyone. No matter how dumbed down it is. You could have a panel with a sign that says "Cow" on it next to a cow and someone would be "HUH?!"

Fuck that guy.

Can't recognize a cow, what an asshole.

You have to hone your "Derdar" as an artist/writer. It's tricky sometimes to tell what is legitimately confusing and what is just confusing because the person commenting is being an idiot, or just bullheaded for no intelligent reason. You want to get it right, but you can't listen to everyone's advice.

That's why you need to have a handful of "go to" people. Preferably people who aren't morons. Friends aren't always the best choice. If you have a friend who sits through Dark Knight and doesn't realize Batman is Bruce Wayne till the very end (if at all), you probably shouldn't go to them for creative help.

Liz looks good/better, kit does look alot better standing up.

Pet peeve of mine though, the one sided lip raise that kit does really makes me rage.

No idea why that would make you rage.
 

This is now her permanent expression.

Neither do I, but it does.

Hey, there's this movie director who likes to keep changing his movies.

I doubt you're being serious about that...but if there actually is anyone out there who genuinely compares me with Lucas and The Dreadful to Star Wars they really need to reconsider their perspective on this art shift and move on with their lives.

If The Dreadful ever got to the level Star Wars is I wouldn't mess with it. However, it's a very very small comic on a website I don't own. I do the comic for free and I've only changed it once. My change also didn't force you to pay 40-50$ for a new set of movies (oh wait, Lucas didn't either)...

The Dreadful is still more or less mine to do with what I want. Maybe one of these days it'll get to the level of Star Wars and be everyone's, but it's far from that point.

Though personally I think Lucas has the right to mess with Star Wars as much as he wants. It's his movie. He's not forcing anyone buy it. I own two versions of Star Wars. The original movies on VHS, and the special editions on DVD, and that's good enough for me. If I were him I wouldn't mess with it, because I feel that it's fine as it is, but I'm not him. If he feels these changes make Star Wars more like his vision, then I guess he should change it. However if he's just making these changes to make money....eh...
