"THE ONLY THING FLAMING HERE IS SUBLUNARY AMIRITE?"
[**DISCLAIMER** for the gentle reader: the links are NOT WORK SAFE. And may contain references to TEH BUTTZECHS. Okay.]

Oh look, Sublunary wank. *yawn*
BUT WAIT! Sublunary is in no way new to hardcore wank but I thought this might be extra shiny and SPESHUL because somebody actually went through the trouble to post past Sublunary comics complete with CRITIQUE PASTEDE ON YEY in 4Chan's /y/ section. The shining jewel of this wank crown might be the first one comparing a background purloined from somewhere else and filtered in Photoshop. LOLZ.

Naturally, things hit the lowest common denominator really damn quick.

There are 90+ comments, alternating from the surprisingly articulate to completely asstarded! Something for everyone!

Unfortunately I don't think you can link to individual comments.

There's the usual array of
•OMG let's see YOU draw a webcomic! comments
•ur oppressing a budding talent! comments
•don't like, don't READ! aka dl;dr
•the sheer tackiness of snagging and photoshopping someone else's art is pointed out.
•the fact that if you post something on teh internets, it is open to public ridicule is pointed out.
•Sublinary is called "amazingly shitty", with a nonsensical plot, cardboard characters
Especially if it's an amazingly shitty webcomic with horrific art, characters "only distinguishable by their hair color" , "a completely nonsensical plot" and of utilizing every cliché in the yaoi fandom.

Age for truth!
"The thing with most professional anime is that the animators :already: know the rules of anatomy. The same goes for Disney animators, if you ever see their portfolios. Don't compare them to Sublunary. There's a difference between familiarity with anatomy and exaggerating based on basic rules, and an obvious lack of knowledge, which is Sublunary's case."
OHH SNAP!

So in short, we have
•Photoshop RAEP of someone else's work
•mockery of the rabid Sublunary fanbase
•That "How to Draw Manga" series gets a mention
•Someone compares this tripe to PICASSO?! I think
•Oh yes, and someone mentions F_W's past obsevations on the Sublunary sploodge factor.[which I looked in past entries and I can't find it! *le wah!!*]

OH WAIT here's a BONUS thread.
Yeah, that's all I've got. Tootles!

[EDIT]: The thread in question is GONE, pushed off by pr0n! Boo hoo. OH WELL.
[EDIT#2}: Oops. WTF?
Try this link instead:

Also, as noted by [info]yadda and [info]kalindi, the wank, it lives on:
http://img.4chan.org/y/res/40697.html -- yet again in /y/ (remember: SO not work safe!)

[EDIT#3]: Here is the preserved thread sans images:
http://www.plastinated.com/woot/subl-wankage.html
None of the links work but I think you get the idea.

Enjoy the lulz.

>>the anatomy rules by the way are not copy pastes they are from memory from my college art history and theory of anatomy classes thank you very much

So did you draw the turtle or the pirate to get into the school?

I see Sublunary, and a little part of myself dies. I think I get irriatated at it because it's proof that flashy crap gets further than anything with substance. You can dress that turd in neon colors and give it a popsicle dick, and HUZZAH! You have thousands of readers who love and adore you.

No kidding. The comic was bad enough, but the artists' attitudes are what REALLY stunk. "ZOMG UR JEST JELUS Y DUN U DRA A WEBKAMIK STFU CUZ WEER TEH BESTEST ON KEENSPAYCE!!"

And, like all flashy crap so often does, Sublunary has outlived its usefulness and will proceed the way of the dodo. And we all breathe a collective sigh of relief.

Good god. I agree that the art isn't perfect, and getting such a indepth critique is good, but do they have to be such ASSHOLES about it? They're practically saying - "Look, you SUUUUUUCK, neener neener."

Wow, that'll change anything. And it makes you look better too! Go you!

Not.

You don't like it, give her some critique and DON'T LOOK AT IT. Don't be such a holier-than-thou art snob. You drew that badly once too, asshole.

I... er... Sublunary wank always weirds me out. I can't stand the comic, but come on - the art could be, honestly, worse. I still can't stand it though, awful script and awful presentation. Doesn't mean it isn't popular, though.

I do remember a yaoi comic artist who wanted to draw hot buttsecks but then when she drew a scene where the penis would be showing, she scribbled a black hole instead on the guy. I'm not sure if it was to censor or what, but I always will think of it as a vacuum into deep space.

...Eh, personally I enjoy my boyxboy to have boys that are somewhat masculine. It doesn't have to be overtly so, but I would like to know they're boys most of the time by just looking at them. Mmm, ruggedness.

Honestly, both sides should shut up! The story is horrible, yes, I know from the past two wanks that it had a horrible non-sensical story of a "Two cocks, good. One cock and a vagina, bad" air to it.

But did you have to bring it to /y/ where noones going to laugh at that 'defacing' and get offended?

That's not funny at all, if it was meant to be funny,
it would've been in /b/.

And to the fangirls, didn't Reena say that she didn't give a damn if people made fun of her comic, as long it's not on her site? What your acting like is simliar to the furry fandom. It's not like your going to defend Sublunary everywhere you go! Even though, it was stupid for someone posting flamebait on the board, people will still say things about stuff they don't like if you like it or not.

I'm sorry that Reena is very busy doing the comic, but the thing with some humans, is that no matter how much effort you put into something, if you act like a bitch or whine alot, people are going to see that and make fun of you and couldn't give a damn about it even if you were a rocket scientist.

If you don't want people mocking the webcomic so badly, stop egging them on! The more you pout and yell, the more laughing you'll get.


And since the thread is deleted, I couldn't see who joined to play my off-topic game in thread.:(

I am the one who scrawled over those images. I started the whole domino effect.

I am Bobby Teenager.
Some of you (I know at least one) will remember me from the last Sublunary wank. Those who do know my artistic merit, those who don't, don't worry about it.

All my critiques up that I put on the images are all valid. I know this because I work in an industry where not knowing will get you in a lot of trouble. As I progress through them, I got a little "funky," but thats beside the point.

Do I know that what I did was wrong? Sure. /y/ is the place for mansex, not for art critiques. I knew what I was doing. I am a /b/tard. I love /b/. /b/ owns the rest of 4chan easily, in terms of teh funny.

I wanted to screw with some people, and I succeeded. Funny thing was, is that for hours of entertainment, all I had to do was post a few images that took me maybe 20 minutes to do total. You'll know who I am in the thread by the Annonymous user that continually eggs on the Sublunary defenders, or the ones who claim to go to art school. I even got another thread made when I coaxed Neko into making another thread, which also had hilarious results.

Was it immature? Yes. Do I care? No. Spending all that time in /b/ has taught me one thing about this online world.

Internet: Serious Business.

The scary thing is the art is still considerably better than Liefeld, who is getting paid to ruin draw one of my favourite comics in August. But there is no Liefeld wank, because everyone agrees that he sucks.

... I admit it. I went and stayed up for hours and hours reading the whole damn thing and marveling at how utterly, utterly shit it is. And reading all the previous wanks.

It's the unevenness of the style that really gets me... sometimes it looks halfway good, but most of the time it looks really bad. So you KNOW that the halfway good images are stylistic copies. Meaning that, y'know, this person clearly started out copying anime style. She doesn't really have much drawing skill, just that which she's lifted from others. Because if you have a little skill, and you take art classes, your art really ought to be more consistent. The ups and downs are, like, a total hallmark of immaturity. :3 Human photocopier syndrome, whee! Innovation be damned!

No, what I'm really amazed at is that they put such an obvious amount of time and effort into something so... ungood. Hey, the least I can say for myself is that I tend to abandon projects halfway through, meaning that I tend not to spend years on things that are obviously crap. :D Ah, so ADHD does have unforeseen benefits...

Why is it that all I ever read about this comic with an allegedly huge fanbase is this retarded-ass wank? It seems that fan and haters alike have nothign better to do with their time than spray man-j00ce all over their keyboards.

The comic is sub-par. Weaksauce, even, but that alone doesn't warrant such rampant bitchery.
