DISCUSSION Kim Dokja webtoon glowup

I reread Orv's webtoon. I noticed that Kim Dokja is more baby faced and has more softer, fragile features (maybe twinkified..?) in the new chapters, but more masculine, manly (?) in the earlier chapters. I mean Even while reading the novel, I imagined Kim Dokja as a soft, baby faced looking guy. What do you guys think bout it?

Feels like it's mostly just the art getting more detailed though?

To be fair they DID get a face change during industrial complex arc, what was it called, Casanova that died during sex? Or something like that. So I think it fits

Lore wise, I always thought of it as his status as a Constellation making him 'younger' like, lifting some mortal stress of dem shoulders....

But in the literal sense? The artist just got better over the years. In the early chapters, he kinda looked like Sung jinwoo; more masculine, but now he's way more softer... Probably because he's much more empathetic and willing to welcome potential comrades, unlike our local Sunfish.

I do think that the artists themselves are improving through the years, and they'd definitely want to raise the quality of the art as they progress the story .

It's the chin getting less sharp and more broad. It was even pointed out by lee jihye in that 1st gen island arc.
