Manga artist also excel at gore, or so it seems. Some of the horror manga I've read has been really detailed. Curiously so.
I think as manga genres started to form the adult market became more detailed for a host of reasons. Japanese Horror in particular is about thr grotesque and bizzare do the detail helps sell the scares

Could've just drawn a big vague shape and labeled it "motorcycle" like in a political cartoon
Yeah, if you're too busy to reference, just don't reference (name dropping real things counts). Like, make the bike powered by a custom-built liquid scintillium generator or something.
Nobody questions whether dilithium or khyber crystal do what the writers say they do, because they're made up. As in fictional. Imagine, having fictional things in a fictional story!
A lot of manga have multiple people drawing it and/or bring people on to help with specific jobs like backgrounds, anatomical stuff, or mechanical shit. The publisher helps find these people or hires them for you.
Professional american comics really only divide it between drawing, inking, and coloring. If you asked marvel for a guy to draw a motorcycle for you, they would probably laugh at you.
Also there are plenty of western artists that are incredible at mechanical stuff. Just have a look through artstation

A large proportion of backgrounds in manga are built in modelling software. Even if someone's doing a full spread view of a city, there's a good chance the barebones were modelled first and then embellished by the artists afterwards. I remember a fair few mangaka chatting about it sometime around 2002/3. Ultimately, it's just a massive time saver, since most manga appear in the same rooms or spaces and you can alter camera angle very easily.
TBH it's mostly not the drawing itself that I care about with the last couple SFPs
It's that the drawing disagrees with the technobabble at a couple points and then the technobabble (which I know Molly doesn't write so she's good in my book) disagrees with itself every five words
There are lots of people that draw incredibly detailed stuff in the US, but not for free

Please do not disparage the technical authenticity of my flux-capacitor proton reversal device
Right, see, that's my point; you can say whatever you want your made-up thing does and no-one can argue with you but when you start introducing real, actual, things people can look up and/or buy you're going to get eyebrows if you're wrong.
I'm not even mad at the technical issues as much as the total lack of imagination, even within their own world. It needs a gun, an M16 is a gun, so it's got that. No, wait, two of them! No-one who spends their day inventing flying robot personal assistants and fighting crime from inside an armoured suit (which flies) would use something else, right?
I love how with about 95% or these multi page SFP grumbles I avoid the thread for like a month
But this time I'm the one in the thick of it
This isn't directed at you personally Mortal, but I've never understood why "people are having a lively discussion about a topic that doesn't particularly interest me" causes people in this thread so much palpable distress and the need to take a break from the thread, to the point that there are way too often "warning" posts about how being enthusiastic about something will bring the end of everything. Can't people just... not read the posts that don't interest them and just look for comics to be posted that do? Or if they're genuinely concerned instead concern trolling, why not just report the posts that worry them? There are lots of times I was concerned about the potential direction of a thread, I reported the concern, and nothing happened - no mod posted anything in the thread even to warn anyone, the argument I was worried would break out never did, no one was infracted and, here's the important bit, I didn't start a worse argument myself by self-importantly "warning" people to "be careful" like a patronizing school marm.
Like I can't muster much of an opinion about whether the SFP artist can draw or write about motorcycles, because I don't care about motorcycles. But I am not going to start wailing in a corner and beating my breast if there are 10, 20, or even 100 pages about motorcycles in the Webcomics thread and I really, really don't understand the people who do.

at various points in the past people have gotten into arguments about time travel, sexuality, sinfest, shitposting, and it occasionally crosses the line into getting personal
and then tube or duck or bogey will have to lock the thread for a bit
I think people are afraid of pushing too close to that

I get that, but the lesson there should have been "don't shitpost" and (something in the actual rules of this forum) "don't be a dick." And "warning" people about liking something too much is being a dick to that person.

In actual webcomics related news, there have been several new pages to Harpy Gee since I last posted about it, but I'm kind of bored with the current story (or rather, I'm waiting for it to go somewhere) so I haven't posted them. Here's the link to the website though:
didn't one thread degenerate into a perpetual drama machine where people protested discussion by posting webcomics self-evidently too uncool to be tolerated, and then other people would actually enjoy them unironically and want to keep posting them, thus powering yet another tide of discussion et cetera

I believe that was the thread that cost us a proper webcomics thread for a while, around 2014 or so.
People were being giant assholes and refusing to shut the fuck up every time something they didn't like got posted, and I just straight-up didn't want to be here for that, so I wasn't shocked when it got taken from us.

From the previous update, there are a few more reasons.

i am going to post a whole uncropped webcomic with no link to the source :twisted:
But I think the change to single panel/twitter posts has been a good move. Much easier to scroll past webcrumbles you aren't interested in.

I really like the art and concept on this comic but it's one of those where I want to wait like, every 50 pages to just read in a row.
