The art style changes every week, and sometimes multiple times during the week. I&#8217;ve been reading a lot of the comments and most of the complaints are about the characters look changing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I did the three day&#8217;s worth of strips, there was almost no reference material for any of the characters and I imagine that was the same for most of the art teams as I believe they tried to get several weeks worth of buffer by using a number of artists and studios simultaneously. I was given the first 7 days of pencils, beautifully drawn by Rich Burchett, and that was it. After I had drawn my three days I was then given a character sketch each for the other two characters. I tried to stick as close as I could to the look he initiated. How successful I was is up for debate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All things considered I think the strips turned out nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a
