>>5890898Western comics havent had good art in decades. Manga forcuses on quantity and speed - get those pages out for weeklies as fast as possible. They use assets and tracing and toner packs and now blender/3d models from clip paint. Backgrounds and objects are all assets (see any tree, cloud, water, temple, vehicle, identical classrooms, etc - all toner packs in past and clip paint assets today). They also use an army of assistants to pick up the slack leaving even the odd "artist" to just do basic figures and let no-names do monotonous and hard work. But average mangaka just poses 3d models in blender or clip paint and trace it and add faces. Simple, fast and easy. Good for banging out 10 pages a week.
In comparison, comics are just absolute shit tier now with no pay and no quality control. It's mostly people with little to no talent from tumblr, etc and diveristy hires pumping out trash. Most of it is flat angles and tracings, but half assed and blatant. There are no great western artists anymore. You literally make more money making icons for mobile games or random concept art for a video game.
