No it’s not?
They seem to be referring to something specific involving Frank Miller.
It’s spam.
I need context.
“Hey you know that artist people actually like who wrote some really great comics with female characters in them and won awards?”
“Yeah?”
“Let’s fire her and give fucking Frank Miller yet another project.”
“Excellent thinking!”
Without a doubt.
Edited because: adding artists
Huh. Rather timely of it to air when it did, thinking on it.
Fans should REALLY be taking lessons from that one Applejack episode (aka, Honest Apple) that hammers in the aesop that an opinion (whether honest or not) can still be hurtful.
Take what happened here as a prime example. Good night.

You don’t have to be a “professor in horse anatomy” to draw good ponies. A barebones knowledge of the skeleton is enough to make something passable and can be done within a few days to a few weeks of study. If you’re not making an effort to learn then you’re going to stagnate.
This is the mentality of a person who glues a phone to his head and calls it “art.”
Exploring your creative boundaries and getting out of one’s comfort zone is the cornerstone of not stagnating and getting better at your craft. Are you literally saying to people to keep within their safespace because things are hard? You may as well not even step out of your house if you honestly believe that. Learning the “ins and outs of Greek architecture” would certainly make the architect more well-rounded as a person AND an artist. Just because one becomes an adult doesn’t mean they stop growing. You take the time to grow and learn from experiences. ALL experiences. It will help you in your art and you will grow as a person.
You limit yourself. This is your decision if you want to be a “limited” artist. Don’t get me wrong, this world needs specialty artists. But I’ll have to say, if you choose to limit yourself, you better be damn good at it. Everything in illustration can be taught. There is no magic bullet. You have to study in order to get better. Just drawing doesn’t help you get good. You draw the right things in the right way so you dont repeat stupid mistakes. You use good references. You look at other art. You develop better tastes in art. You surround yourself with other artists. You read about and listen to what professional artists say. You read books and magazines. You do whatever it takes to build your visual library so that it makes drawing a little bit easier. You soak up the world and everything about it and you put that shit on the canvas to let people know how you view the world through your eyes so that you can tell a story. That’s what it means to be an artist.
If you like the comics he works on, stating your objective reasons will not make someone else like them.
Yes other artists draw things differently - some consider those differences objectively better and some do not. But if the comic suddenly was drawn by Frank Miller and written by Neil Gaiman then it would no longer be in the same demographic and would compete against IDW’s other works in that market.
Rule #1: Don’t cannibalize your own market
The comic is selling 10K issues monthly, averaging around 200th in sales and is the 5th best selling title IDW has, which is golden for a publisher with less than 5% of the market.
If IDW wanted different Basket Penetration they would get it - as they have shown that they can
If you don’t like the comic, don’t put it in your basket. Buy something else.
If you do like the comic, good for you - give IDW and Hasbro more reason to keep doing the show.
2LDR: Buy their toys or don’t. But don’t stand in the isle at the store arguing about it, and stop stalking the people who work on the products.
We’ve been taking a very hands off approach to this thread, but any more wild tangents, claims that prove you didn’t even read the article you’re commenting on, or personal attacks are going to get dealt with without any further warnings.

He’s the one who agreed to take all the issues to draw. Other artists presumably have similar work loads and manage just fine, and produce work that people find little fault with.
What making him bad in the vain is the fact that he inserts clip art to the comic, shamelessly copy pasted exact pose across pages, character designs thats way off from the show, plagiarism from other artist, etc. Its just whole new level of bad and has no signs of improving even by recent issue.

Even if you don’t like it, doesn’t mean you should stalk the guy for it
Also, do you understand the workload that animators and cartoonists are often under ? Sometimes they have to cut corners in order to save time
There are also editors who overlook the comic, why don’t they get the blame ?
Actually, from the very first issue there were cries and complaints about his ultra-cartoony style; that was a more common complaint than the fact that his backgrounds made Equestria look more like modern suburbia. It was only as time went on and he used more humans-in-pony-costume poses as well as various flubs that most complaints shifted from issues with his style to issues with his anatomy or continuity.
