Haha.

I remember xanseviera saying about having a beef with the crew way back.

Are there still any Malay artists in Gempak's lineup. I abandoned Gempak's publications almost a decade ago due to rumors about racism against Malay artists.

She was chronically obsessed about Supernatural, her deviantart page were filled with artworks and GIFs of the series. Perhaps the copycat thing... its just a case of imitation as flattery.

Never quite a fan of her stuff though, and i ceased contact with her nearly a decade ago after i abandoned DeviantArt so i dont know what the hell happened to her now.

For the past 10 years

Kaoru's work gotten better, it's more stylized and may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's consistent - which is what you want as a good artist, uniform lines and shapes.

Zint's work aduiyai doidogok gaman, it's your 9-5 job isn't it? Why all cincai?
Where is the old Zint? Are you only reserving the best of you for your personal projects?

Keith's lawak kampus is very moe now, almost too much.
Relies too much on 'inside jokes', Xena chasing Vaness, Froggy sees ghost etc as a gimmick.
Jokes geting too over the top.

C2V is back, great usual stylized art.
Good content, good jokes.
Nothing over the top, pretty 'lowkey' lol.

Not sure if xanseviera is official in house artist, 10yrs ago she mcm regular freelancer.
No improvement, so i guess that's a downside?
She's clearly a female otaku. You know...

A couple or so new artists, so can't count them in, everybody's got to start somewhere, good or bad.

Puyuh still GOAT, like one of the few old members still drawing for Gempak.

Slaium is chief editor or art director something IINM, oversees all manuscripts sent to Gempak, works mostly behind the desk, haven't seen his works in Gempak anymore.

Regulars from Fakhroul Anour, Nizam Bachok etc still with their own great personalized style, Nizam with his HK/Murican comic style.

Remember King Kong? Was it on Utopia?
Teenager with psychic powers, naik scooter.
He was on Komik Remaja briefly, with his own let's learn to draw series...stolen from Loomis lolol.
Now I realized mostof his panelswere plagiarized somehow.

Ben no improvement langsung, still with his symbol drawing, dat mouth, dat eyes, copy pasta since day1, every character has the same face.

Puppeteer is edgy as always, even edgier now that he's actually gotten better, but still style over substance mia.

Apoh is Zuan, style very linear and clean nowadays, perhaps coz everything is digital today.
His drawing strokes and lines traditionally was great, during his Mat Gempak run.
He's working on the more kiddie stuff I think, one of the educational adventure comic.

My favorite Gempak comic series growing up was Kutu's Red Head, very stylized, very Murican, reminds me of Hellboy (one time Gempak was crazy with Hellboy)....and it was from Tan Eng Huat...DC artist lol

Kenny dunno go where dy, mcm into toys and design now. Style similar to C2V.

Who am I missing?

I know I'm just reminiscing the old times.

But still yeah, it's the same artstyle. He's done many artworks for some Chinese MMO IINM.
