In some chapters or even as cover art in berserk puck is drawn fully with
detail as shown here: [![enter image description

Is there a reason for neglecting detail? I noticed that when he comes in as
comic relief he seems to miss alot of detail like so. But is there some sort
of artistic reason behind this choice that I am not aware of?

berserk
What is the purpose for the art-style of puck changing by scene?


This is for comic relief purposes only. The technique is known as
**Deanimation/Cut-Out**. Check more details below.

Here read the part about Deanimation cut out. Another one of the Top Manga
(and Anime) which uses this is Full Metal Alchemist. The purpose is the same
for i.e. Comic relief especially with the Elric Brothers.

Saying this is neglecting detail is kinda offensive to me cause the attention
to details, the beautiful and horrifying art work is one of the main reasons
many people still read Berserk even though it is a disappointment that the
progress has been so slow.

Also google "Puck's Funny Expressions". I know it can be jarring but lots of
people (me included) find the little humour in the dark and gruesome world
refreshing.
