Why did the artist downgrade the art in this? When it was a webcomic

What? THIS was a webcomic?

Yes and the art was so much better. The book release is complete while the webcomic only does up to Chapter 19.

Fantagraphics probably turned it away because the art was too good. Although they would have phrased it differently, 'too mainstream' or something.

I forgot how the webcomic looked, but seeing it again Liz definitely improved in the print version

You think that horrible Jhonen Vasquez rip was better?

Call me crazy but I don't think it looked like Vasquez's art at all.

I think it's better. Current style is more recognizable, her paneling and page layouts are tighter, no one looks like they are inconsistently transforming into a John K character.

She also probably redrew it because if you reread all the pages on the site you see her change as an artist and if Fanta published the old pages it probably would have clashed with the current work. It's also some serious balls to redraw that many fucking pages. Liz puts a lot of artist to fucking shame with that shit.

early Sacred Heart reminds me of something that could have been put out by Slave Labor Graphics.

Speaking of Liz Suburbia, anyone check this out?

Have you seen the book? The book version is way better than the webcomic.

Sigh. No one "downgrades" their art. As you become a better comics artist, you become a smarter, more efficient artist. You learn that rendering isn't as important as storytelling and you discard the ornamental bits from your style.

See: Frank Miller. Walt Simonson. Mike Mignola. Etc. Etc. Etc.

But yeah I get what what your saying was just a little weird when I opened the book and stuff looked different

How far into Sacred Heart did you read online because it was already showing signs of style change.

Pic related is the last update online and is a protoversion of what was published in the book.

I was up to chapter 6 online when I realized it was released on ComiXology and bought it there.

Liz Suburbia has the best black and white balance this side of Jaime Hernandez. Sacred Heart is absolutely beautiful and she's leaps and bounds above where she was.
