I'm trying to get more active online again in general, probably as a direct reaction to how constrictive real life is feeling these days. Escape down a digital rabbit hole as it were.
And yeah, toony stuff can be good, and it lets you ignore a great deal of anatomy, but it still has to be done well, and consistently ignore rules of anatomy - too many supposedly toon artists use it merely as an excuse for shoddy rendering, and the result looks like some anatomical nightmare fused onto some shapeless half-rendered toon concept of whatever they're pretending to draw. The results are usually more disturbing than just failing one method or another.
And I might check the guys blog out if I ever need a bitterness boost, maybe. As it is, I think I'm capable of generating far more art angst and anger and bitterness than I have any good outlet for.
