Webcomic with the best art?

I suppose I should start reading Lackadaisy. My god, that art is just gorgeous.

It is. It really is.

I love this thread.

Most of what I'd say has already been listed in this thread, so I'd like to mention Romantically Apocalyptic. Mmmm, I love the post-apocalypse photo-manipulation gorgeousness of it.

I'd read Lackadaisy, but I'm rather turned off by the character designs. I will save that guide to my computer though.

I put it off for the longest time because it was a furry comic (although the artist is apparently not a furry). Then I actually archive binged it last night, and before long I found myself thinking things like, "Damn, I'd tap that cat."

WHAT HAVE I BECOME

It's not the most skillfully produced art I like; it's art with a signature style.

So I'd probably have to say Hark! A Vagrant, Homestuck and DOUBLE K have my favorite art in a webcomic.

Why isn't Subnormality on this list yet?

Seriously. Just look at this.

But yeah. Seconding Lackadaisy, Romantically Apocalyptic and The Meek.

As a side note: Fuck, I need to get back to drawing.

WHAT HAVE I BECOME

ONE. OF. US.

I'd hate for people to be put off Lackadaisy because they don't like Furry Webcomics. It's just a Prohibition-era gang war story that happens to star anthropomorphic cats.

Another comic that I don't think has been mentioned: The Wormworld Saga. Has been mentioned on this forum (by Tropers/Cidolfas), but doesn't have a page yet. There's not a lot of it so far, but the art is gorgeous.

I just dislike any type of anthropomorphization, really. I dislike the token animals in most tv shows and books and mangas as well. If I want to see animals, I want to see actual ANIMALS, not animals that just so happen to look like animals but in no way act like animals.

although the artist is apparently not a furry

I thought that for a long time as well, but apparently Tracy contributed to Ironclaw as well as maintaining a Fur Affinity account for a while. She might not identify with the culture now, but claiming complete nonaffiliation is a bit of a stretch.

Hmm, with all the praise in the thread, perhaps I should give Lackadaisy a look.

Anyways, I rather like the art in Manly Guys Doing Manly Things. Plus, you gotta love Mr. Fish.

Seconding Double K. Dude, that comic is TITS.

Dresden Codak has some pretty good art, IMO.

Dresden Codak has a good art blog, actually. Check it out

Got to give love to Gunnerkrigg Court and The Meek. Dresden Codak has pretty great art too.

Andrew Hussie's art ranges from plain to good in Homestuck if you ask me, but some of the art team's work in the flashes is amazing. Especially Tynic's watercolour-style backdrops. At least they remind me of watercolours; I don't know enough about art to know if that's really what they're getting at.

Noblesse. Full stop.

Wayward Sons really does the comicbook style very nicely.

I guess you'll bash me, but there are tons of better comics that Lackadaisy.

HERO, Rice Boy, Red Moon Rising, Kukuburi, Paranatural, Roza, SFEER Theory, Clockworks, Subnormality, really new Salvadora...

Most of those I haven't read, so I have no opinion on them, but from what I've seen of Subnormality, I'd say it's not as good as Lackadaisy. The art is worse (not bad, but nowhere near Lackadaisy's quality), and a lot of it suffers from Wall of Text to the point that actually getting through a page is physically exhausting for me.

Song of the Cloud. Another work by the same artist. Oh, and the latter can be a bit unnerving.

No yet mention of Unsounded? Many fine contenders here, this should be one of them.

On a less "hang it on the wall," but nonetheless "awesome" note, art is one of the reasons I like Westward; it's not as beautiful or fine or complex as most of the examples here, but it seems to have a more unique style, distinct from those found in most comics. The style definitely has its ups and downs, but it often strikes me as something special, and quite pleasant to look at.

I really used to think Hero was hand-painted. And the art isn't covered by text bubbles.

I personally think that Goblins has rather good art, that can get rather, um, detailed at times.
