Orc no Shuhai ni Shukufuku wo - Vol. 1 Ch. 2 - The Corrupt daughter, Margit

The drawing is kinda unique, but it looks trippy sometimes
Justice for the orcs!

It reminds me of the Good Orc and Elf Princess.

This damn author left out way too many details of that night.

Probably flashbacks in ch3?

We can only hope.

Not sure what yall are talking about here tbh.

Notice how I explicitly mentioned the use of an Upscaler, so thank you for confirming my theory.

No prob. I'm not surprised about any "upscaler" being used and I definitely did notice you mentioning it. I'm not disputing that at all. Though I have no definitive proof if they used an upscaler or just have access to better raws. Could be wrong either way but that was never my focus.

I'm still confused on what sort of "fuckugly filter" (as the other guy put it) or whatever artifacting that mentioned causing the images to "looks like shit".

I haven't noticed anything in particular myself, but I'm usually not looking too closely for stuff like this. I do know that the upscaling aspect is to partially denoise the original raws to make redrawing a tad easier, but from my experience stuff like waifu2x don't seem to cause glaring issues unless you push the settings a tad too far.

I'm just curious about what you and the other guy spotted that looks that terrible.

It may very well be something I notice since I'm also an artist, but there's distinct smudging and sharpening in strange places that I find distracting on the upscaled version. It causes certain stylistic effects (as evidenced by the raw) to seem warped and/or "plasticy", if that makes any sense - at least in my case. It's a sort of uncanny aspect.

I see. I definitely don't have an artist's eye for this sort of thing. I didn't notice anything too weird for this particular series and kinda just chalked it up to a mildly funky art style.

I also might have picked a bad page for the raw comparison example, but I honestly couldn't spot a noticeable difference when flipping back and forth between the two pages at the same resolution (fit to my screen within my browser on a 1080p monitor).

I'll probably not be able to notice these sort of things unless directly pointed out to me. Which, tbh, may be for the best ... seeing how my initial noticing of missing pages in random manga chapter uploads over the years has lead to a dramatic increase in my ability to pick up on them everywhere. (Just take a quick my recent forums posts 💀)

Were they just drinking all night or was it something... more?
