What if that's the reason Adam Ellis takes so many shortcuts in his comics? He has a deformed arm and it makes drawing for long periods of time very painful, so he does thinks quickly to avoid the pain. Maybe we should pity him instead of hate him.
It could be called "Outside the panels" and would show everything that's wrong with the art in webcomics! Bad poses, angles that don't make sense, proportions, limbs that are too long or too short, etc.
Also, nice art skills, btw! Looks really similiar to the original! If you did make this, that is. I hope you didn't take it and claim it as your own!
It doesn't look like I'm going to come through for you on this one. Sorry. Been looking for an hour and I can't find what I'm thinking of. Maybe I'm imagining it.
Lets not give Adam "I recycle literally everything from years ago" Ellis any credit, okay? Even if he did do it on purpose for the "silliness factor", then it completely failed because every comic has been so lazily done that this also comes across as just lazy.
Not the way he's holding it. If you can make your upper arm/shoulder point straight down, and have your forearm stick straight up a foot from your face at face level, you've got some seriously fucked up anatomy
Adam Ellis is a celebrity of sorts on this subreddit. So it is basically just making fun of one of his drawings, since they show up all the time on this sub.
That's why I mentioned his laziness. Yeah, this could've easily been fixed if the wrist is angled a bit though. Maybe he's pressed for time that he doesn't have time to pose his hands and check the mirror, who knows.

Don't you think it could be possible that he drew it like that on purpose for the silliness factor?

I guess OP has never eaten a hot dog, or a sandwich, or a burger, or a taco before. Arms have these handy things called elbows.

Only one of which is needed to hold something in front of your face.

As a fellow comic artist, I guess he wants to show the taco and have some negative space around it. And yes, laziness about drawing the arm off-panel.
Doctor_Steve_Gates ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 02:13:35 on May 5, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
He could've made the guys arm angled forward a bit more. It wouldn't be a big problem if the guy's arm wasn't pointig straight down.

It's not the entire comic, it's the second panel of one. Not that the entire comic is funny either, but that's Adam for you.
