>>54370247The thing with Komiya is that it really didn't feel as self-referential. His newer shit just feels like some corporate board asked for a new Komiya(tm) product to put in an arthouse, not a genuinely fun and zany card like pic related. Opinions on old Komiya (or new, or both) may differ, but there's a lost quality in how not-deliberate his older work feels. Every bit of it feels whimsical and amateurish, but with great composition, and you don't really feel the former. That Gengar just made me genuinely sad to look at. Also, he has some good cards still, but it feels like he's been using the same exact style for the past 6 or so sets.
