Figures. You probably love Crybaby and Yuasa's "art" as well, right?
Tyler Green
This looks like shit.

What always baffles me about art like this is how great the art is on something like the bat or clothing but the face is like some kind of cubist nightmare
Ryder Harris
Reminds me of this.

Nagai always had abstractions in his style. The thing is that his early artwork is heavily stylized. What posted, for example.
During the 90s he tried to incorporate more naturalistic details. Some of that stuff looks transitional, where some elements clash. That's the cost of an artstyle in development.
Nagai's style does always retain those abstract features. It's not because he can't follow anatomical rules. Most of the time, he does. But he seems to value artistic expression (and the characters' emotional expressions) over accuracy.

He's just a fine art fag, op has low iq

Accuracy and expression are complementary, you should never sacrifice one for the other.
Thomas Allen
He's into cunnilingus so he's cool.

Tell that to Picasso, Marc, Munch, Van Gogh or Seurat.
Caleb Lewis
OP image is neither abstract nor realistic. It's a mishmash of the two and therefor looks like shit.
Jordan Nguyen
>It's a mishmash of the two
Yes, see . It's from his transitional phase and looks a bit unfinished.
Nothing wrong with that unless you think you're the sole authority on what should or should not be allowed in art.

They both do have one very defining similarity: They don't give a shit what people think and create their own work in their own ways. How they want, when they want.
It's pretty much how Lynch operates when it comes to film. These people enjoy the liberties they take to the fullest and use them to produce art that defies norms and expectations. It's what sets them apart from most other creative minds in their industries and makes their works distinguished and intriguing.

The man is allowed to do whatever he wants but that doesn't make it look any less terrible. And Nagais work looked better when he committed to a certain style. Same thing goes for every artist.
Ryder Nelson
>And Nagais work looked better when he committed to a certain style.
Yes, I'm also of that opinion. But he did have to develop styles. That page up there is right from the mid-to-late 90s, when he was in such a phase of development and transition. And it's one of the more glaring examples of such a clash of styles from within his work. That's neither an assessment of quality nor an excuse, it's a simple fact. And despite standing out for that inconsistency, it does not even look particularly bad.
