Is it just me, or does Redcloak have thinner lines then the rest of the characters?
This (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0372.html) comic has a particularly good example - compare Redcloak's hand in panel one to that of Miko's.
Maybe this was only that comic, but... I dunno.

Hm. You might be right, I think his lines are thinner than the azure soldier in the previous comic.

Maybe he's drawn on a slightly different scale than the other characters.

It might be to make the color of his skin stand out more, or it might be a complete accident

Maybe it's because, oh, I don't know . . . HE'S A GOBLIN??!!

I mean, I don't know how they vary in build from ordinary humans, but odds are it's different in some way!

Redcloak's too large, anyway... As a normal goblin he should be small, like Belkar. The hobgoblins, on the other hand, are medium, so they're at the right scale.

Rich's goblins are medium-sized.
Deal with it.

If that were the case then Xykon would have the thinnest lines of all because he's just a skeleton.

The fact he's a goblin may or may not be part of it, but I still stand by that he's just drawn slightly larger than the other characters without having his line brush adjusted, which makes his lines a little thinner.

Good observation. Unless there is some deep seated conspiracy behind him having thinner lines, it's probably because Rich uses prefabs for his characters and stamps them into scenes, then adds details and faces.
The new thin RC probably happened in one of the art upgrades and remained that way.

It's a conspiracy, trust me. It goes all the way to the top.

Mr. Scruffy being mind controlled by an abolith which is really a reincarnated Miko did it!

No, no Rich is working with Cuba who uses the comic to sublimanally control us so Fidel can use us as a personal army to defend him from robotic Walt Disney. Who feeds on Cuban children.

Luena wanted to say "optical illusion" but didn't know the English word so asked for someone to translate.

In that same comic, Redcloak's lines appear to be of similar thickness to Miko's in their closeups, and both appear to be at the same scale. Miko's seem a tad thicker, still, but it's not nearly as pronounced as, say, the first panel.

Miko is on an über diet.

And, when i saw it, i thought about that trick with red circle surrounded by BIG blue circles, and the same red circle with small blue c. And that with BIG ones looked like smaller. >>

[Geez, i need to find an example.]
