TwoPair posted:I really like the art in The Shade, except for the faces. They're just... weird looking in a way I can't really explain. That honestly is just Frazer Irving's style. His faces have always been a little off, but his art always rises above that for me just because it's so atmospheric and creepy.

Man, it's easy to forget Uatu used to be huge. I mean, he's still drawn as being huge, but he's always got a giant head on a relatively slim frame. Original Uatu was freakin' jacked, man.

He's also recently famous for getting punched by the Red Hulk because Jeph Loeb is a loving hack. I love Ed McGuiness but this poo poo sucks.

I go with the former, considering he drew them all.

He was doing a stupid amount of work a day so he did not have the time to really look over every panel to see that they matched. Mr T by Steranko

I don't know if his method of working evolved because he needed to work fast, but I think it was partly his personality. He didn't do breakdowns for the books he was pencilling; he just drew stories page by page as he thought them up, which is why the Galactus saga ends midway through FF #50.

It's almost like he drew Harrison Ford day 1 knowing he was the best man for the role. It's rare to see early concept art being used point-for-point. Even Star Wars had lightsaber wielding storm troopers and Darth Vader looking more Japanese than he did.

Steve Dillon does not give even half a gently caress any more. He did his time with Preacher and the earlier Punisher stuff. He doesn't have to impress anyone. Sure Spider-Man whatever here you go where's my check.

Mister Roboto posted:Yeah, seriously, you can post early Preacher and it's a completely different world. It's a completely different world to later Preacher, even. Dillon's givafucometer broke about 6 or 7 issues into the run. Which is a great shame, as I've been a fan of his style since he first started doing Dredd in the 1980s. His "werewolf Dredd" belongs in this thread for sure, and not for the same reasons as that ASM page. In Dillon's defence, though, he's not gone totally to poo poo like some artists do. His style remains intact, he's just not doing anything with it any more.

Dillon's early work on Dredd and the like had a nice 'gritty' style to the inking, but as he went on and got a reputation as a super-fast artist (2000AD lost an entire episode of 'City Of The Damned' after he delivered it, so he redrew the whole thing from scratch in about two days to make the deadline) that level of detailing disappeared to leave a very clean, minimally-detailed style where all his characters have one of about six different identikit faces.

A page, for reference: The worst part about the hideous Dillon art in this issue is that the writing is wonderful and emotional, and Dillon's art just completely wrecks it. To add insult to injury, the cover had art by Chris Samnee, who would have been a wonderful fit for the issue.  Look how pretty that is!

How are the Parkers not all morbidly obese or diabetic? Fuckin' pancakes all day every day. I'm surprised Aunt May's best friend is Anna Watson and not Paula Deen.
