No, I think it is just a genre description, especially if the art portrays a character from a comic series or is done in that style. For example, if I portrayed The Mariner crouched on a submarine in full 3D with volumetric lighting, I might call it "pulp" so that people hunting for their comic heroes will find it in a filter. The flip side is taking any figure, say Ultramarine, and flattening the cell-shaded render (z-toon) so that it looked like a 50's comic when finished and text balloons added. In either case, no disrespect or self-deprecation, would be intended... just a marker to get my art before the right appreciative eyes. BTW, I don't do comics. However, we don't have a category for visual puns. Yet. ;^) Carolly
