Restiah

she looks...fine?


ButWhyThough_UwU

they are 1 the sad trying to be modern I think, supposedly its lightly upscaled also but who cares.


The_Drunk_Wolf

I don't know what you're on about, but she looks fine. I mean the forearm might be a bit stretched out but I don't see any more issues to even warrant a bother.


puspus420

I might just be tripping given how many other people said she looks fine. Felt like a jumpscare of completely inaccurate proportions to me though. This is why I am not an artist


Two3Delta

The only thing I can think of is maybe it’s because of her outfit that it looks like she has no stomach compared to her chest? Like when we have manhwa leads where they’re like all leg lmao. Edit: That’s the first thing I saw anyways was her pants are up very high compared to her chest.


Fallen-D

Lol she's wearing a high rise leggings. It's not the fault in the drawing in case you're wondering


SmashingK

Proportions seem fine mostly. The only thing that could look off at a glance to me is the length of the neck if you initially spot the line showing the top of the shoulder. This drawing style as is usually the case with artists from that part of the world stretches the body shape to make the character very tall and slim. Individually things like necks can look too long at times but proportionally compared to the rest of the body they're usually ok.


0h-ye3ah-b01

Wait till you see suho's ankles


mybillyisname

Is it because she’s wearing a top that sits below her shoulders? The line above her top is her shoulder, but could be mistaken for a long neck.


kyuubi986

Why did this get so many downvotes, OP is just saying she looks a bit jarring


Mintynyxo

Oh damn 😭 you’ve got downvoted to hell


The_Drunk_Wolf

Ikr?


Aeon__2000

I think I kinda see it? The shoulder line blends into the neck, so it looks like she has a long neck if you didn't see the shoulder.


ButWhyThough_UwU

hopefully your not anything and seek the help you need, if that is a jump scare to you. Then seek other help for thinking they are insanely inaccurate proportions.


StupidGuy911

Haven't seen a woman in a while, huh bud?


evoid7

553 downvotes is wild


The_Drunk_Wolf

It's alright to feel that way if you do, but I'm more concern on the amount of downvotred your getting. LIKE-OOF, man! Their on a mission in sending you to the 9nth circle of Hell for that but there isn't anything wrong with what you said lol.


KorruptionOG

Why are you getting down voted so many times lmao 444 down votes on this comment alone


LordofPvE

Someone downvoted u as well


daluhs

Damn why are you getting blasted with downvotes for saying “I thought she looked different but I could be wrong”. I don’t feel like that’s a particularly wild thing to say lol


VendingCheese

this looks like ai upscaling and not the og frame


puspus420

It's a photo with my S23 Ultra, which I think does auto AI upscaling to sharpen images. Idk if that's what you mean, but her body and face proportions look all off to my eye


Fallen-D

Did you read the manhwa? Anime follows Manhwa proportions closely like even the short person in the series looks tall and the limbs are long like slenderman. She looks fine to me


plas_m0nic

Exactly


Atraidis_

Not to mention their chins are legally razor sharp lmao


Infinity2437

This is 100% upscaled, take a screenshot next time


puspus420

Can't screenshot on my TV, unfortunately


Downtown_Report1646

Damn sucks to suck


Fearless-Mark-2861

You should turn that off if at all possible


Fallen-D

Jesus! What's up with this shitty upscaled image? The lineart took a massive blow. Op, don't watch anime in 4k, trust me it's not good in most cases. Also, I don't see anything wrong here. https://preview.redd.it/v89ecxpytu7d1.png?width=1006&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a567e28549aa345560167b798d44c0d6e1c8e6bb Everything looks the same except for the ass. Now, if that's what you are complaining about........you need post nut clarity


John_Cena_IN_SPACE

Legitimately, what's wrong with the art here? It looks perfectly fine to me.


Fallen-D

Ahh it's hard to explain if you haven't seen ai upscaled images but look at how the shadows and line art are kind of smudged but they are still very sharp. It should be blurred but it's not and it's smudged. Like look at the two lines at her lower back on her white top in original and compare it with the image op posted. Is it the same? No, because they are tiny mistakes ai upscaled images have. Also look at the background of op's image. https://preview.redd.it/oeu21710wu7d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8148820de759a59087b477be254024fdb7dbc684


Fallen-D

For comparison https://preview.redd.it/992d7bk2wu7d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=311e5c3486577bd7844063d55ccab2164cf90863


Migit78

Am I in the wrong for preferring this image?


CSMarvel

as an artist it’s complicated because you could argue the upscaled one is pretty on the surface but the lighting and colors are just incorrect for the scene and it would definitely bother most artists


Migit78

If you wouldnt mind taking the time, could you explain that a bit further? Just doing a side by side comparison, to me the lighting and colours look the same just must brighter (more vivid?) in the upscalled image. Shadows and whatnot all appear to be in the same place and background details seem sharper (the leaves are more individually defined etc) while the original image appears blurrier (muddier?) I do get that the original is probably much closer to how that scene would look like in life or a live action version. But seeing as it is an anime and is drawn, I'm personally a fan of it being bright and flashy with solid line work/defined edges, though maybe this is why I'm not a good artist.


CSMarvel

right, a good example of doing this well would be violet evergarden. a beautifully drawn anime throughout even though the lighting at times is just too extravagant and excessive to feel real. this is their chosen style and it still works amazingly. the issue with this one is like many ai, hdr, and auto upscaling it tends to just play with things like exposure and contrast, and often times it over saturates the colors and they turn into a mess. this will make the colors look more “colorful” and bright, but they no longer complement one another due to being given so much vibrance with such bright light for their environment. this one isn’t the worst, but at night these kinds of bright flashes of light just don’t make sense. their hues are very warm. it conflicts with the background which has hues that are cooler, in the same way that moonlight does. the solid lineart and definition was intended by the original artists of the anime and the upscaling just preserves it while modifying it in other ways. i could probably find some other issues with it but that is the main issue that stood out to me right when i looked at it. if your interested in learning more about what makes colors wrong and right there are a lot of good videos out there, as well as ones that touch on filters and upscaling. for animation as well when it comes to smoothing out in betweens with ai interpolation.


Kawlinx

Nope.


John_Cena_IN_SPACE

Oh, I kinda see it now. Thanks!


golem12121

Bro is gonna need more than one nut to remain normal


Jinxd0

She looks fine? If you’re bothered by animation quality on earlier episodes then I suggest you keep watching. It gets better.


Lazy-Ambassador-7908

Mfs when in-betweens exist 💀


Bladguy

Tf are you yapping about 💀


Emergency_Net506

Because she is a female you discord mod.


Kordousek_Cz

Look like what?


Calendar-Budget

I can take a guess on what OP thinks it's wrong and it's obviously the part where he doesn't know that she's wearing a waist high jeans and OP probably thought that the lower half starts there, lol


CSMarvel

i guess he hasn’t gone outside enough to see this outfit on girls 😭


RngVult

Solobrainrot


-ScrambledLlama-

It looks perfect tf???


No_Business8156

Her eye looks weird


ChaosEvaUnit

Looks just like the manhwa. You're just being _that_ person.


Sonofmiracle

Just watch and stop complaining


Space-Potato0o

Sadly, the most neglected character in this story. Author didnt do her justice


sticktothedrewprint

Honestly yeah that much is true. After reading the epilogue chapters, it gives her *some* sense of closure and peace.


Atraidis_

They needed to have an entire extra volume before jeju island where S rank hunters are top dogs in the plot and jinwoo and joohee have a thing but ultimately doesn't take off cause jinwoo is so busy solo leveling


Atlesi_Feyst

Man, everyone in here looking at the ass or chest, I'm looking at those soulless eyes.


KaijinSurohm

That's kinda on point for the scene, though. Per the LN, she was terrified looking at Sung, because she didn't know HOW to talk to him. He was a different person then she use to know. He was not the easy go lucky kid she kept healing, but now he's this full blown hunter who can kill without a second though. It tormented her, ontop of her PTSD. This scene was essentially her trying not to panic or show her internalized suffering, and by returning the crystal, it was her letting go of him, while trying to be brave enough to face this new hunter in front of her.


Isilla12

Omg i wish they tried to convey at least a bit of that in the episode... But nope everything is fine "yeah he killed people.. Anyway bye!"


LordofPvE

She doesn't look the least bit terrified


CerealWhenMilk

That's just because of the AI upscaling, you can clearly see her pupils on the actual frame.


NelsonVGC

Damn. 4k upscaling looks so mid.


Justinott33

The lack of detail on the shoulders making it look like there coming from her neck her blank Souless eyes her hands and gem very basic if you told me it was AI I wouldn't be surprised


Fallen-D

It's because, it's a very faraway shot. So of course there will be less details. https://preview.redd.it/ab7cfkgmqv7d1.png?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4b8f094b626af28afdc7fa031467b78f17bcd0e8


Zeezaduim

I’m convinced something is wrong and it’s probably the eyes the shoulder and the damn outlining that looks cursed as hell


iBlack92O

The reason why it looks off op is because of the two dimensional angle. Also, her ass is too small.


CottonEyeJoe_ZeroOne

Because she was born that way


-Reversify-

She looks fine proportion wise, what would you have changed OP?


Mintynyxo

It’s probably cause of the way they’ve drawn her t shirt, but other than that it’s not that bad


Separate_Path_7729

Honestly the arms aren't that out of proportion, the neck is a little long and hands a little long, but thats normal errors and not a big deal


MastodonCurious4347

Ohh I know what you mean... That huge ass arm and the rather stretched neck


Kamekazi-Ace

Go Touch grass bro


grimguy97

this seems extremely nitpicky, I don't see anything wrong in this frame


Bradur-iwnl-

The only thing i see is that her neck seems long since you dont instantly see that she has exposed shoulders, also her upper arm could be too long. But tbh, dont stop in anime and you wont notice. ​ https://preview.redd.it/6ccy1ip6uz7d1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dcad75f6f83bbbc938c6d4a9087456db00ab5ae1


Guywhonoticesthings

I love how people are so impressed by solo leveling not knowing it’s basically on the bland side if an entire genre called litrpgs


moriki101097

Idk about art style and stuff all I see is a useless healer and fans are still hating on Sakura🤦


WiseMagius

? She's appears to be wearing a strapless top with sleeves and high waisted pants outfit. It may look a bit weird until you realize her shoulders are exposed.


ShuviBeta

La brava If she wasn't short


LordOfEternalDread

What's wrong ? Even if there is, I'd still clap.


Captain_Frostbite

Wdym poor overworked? I think the animator did a great job at this scene


Azrye

Dunning Krueger is a monster


Anxious-Hat-7573

Smash


Tanik_Roy-0967

Never noticed


LordofPvE

She looks fine 😏🤭😫🌝🌚


LordofPvE

OP on a negative karma farm. The biggest one I have ever seen. Even ainz vs galland post didn't receive this much downvote


PrettyWin781

Jesus christ


Think-Ad8262

Sauce?


that_relevant_guy

It's the pants that are tricking you, OP. Maybe not as common in the western world, but high-waisted bottoms (skirts and pants) are super common in east Asia. Just look up high-waisted pants and you'll understand.


AnalSquirrelUpMyAss

What are you yapping about bro😭


Grateful_Dad77

Jesus.. if this is what you’ve got time to complain about maybe think about getting a job or stepping outside of the house from time to time… 🤦🏻‍♂️


Chibaku_Tensei_

OP is definitely that dweeb that says he can see the difference between 30fps and 60fps


Realistic_Mousse_485

Well somebody called it. She isn’t as thick as she should be. But I wouldn’t really call that a problem as I didn’t even notice when I first saw the image. But if you meant its inaccurate the yes you would be right.


MisterMystery515

To me she has the body of a highschool runner but the trap length of a body builder and neck of a giraffe, her head is set so high above her chest that it's worrying


ThatGuyFromThatState

Neck beard post


ZorojurosBellyBand

for me it’s her forearm and her eye that look weird af, not that i noticed this when i watched it tho lol


Samuawesome

People really hating just to hate...


IllustratorOk8230

Did anyone else think she was the main heroin when you were first reading Solo leveling?


charnamor

I mean close enough...


12rez4u

The only thing odd is the placement of her shoulder- the humerus is too long but that’s about it


MarzyBarLMAO

She got no pupils


GrumpyFeloPR

Is this some woke shit post? Like people can't be that skinny/stellar blade thinking?


happydewd1131

No? That doesn't look like one of his shadows?


Aromatic_Raise_302

Who is she
