Wasn't sure where else to post this but my second original page came in the mail today, so I'll post it up along with my other page. James Stokoe - Orc Stain - Issue 07, Page 15  Matt Kindt - The Tooth - OGN, Page 29  I would suggest to any comic fan that you buy at least one page of original art if you haven't already. It's amazing being able to see it up close and personal.

We have an awesome original art thread that could always use more postings. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3512726 Great buys though. I love the Tooth page.

Cap, what's wrong with your faaaaaace? Aside from the obvious Cap's face thing, what the gently caress is going on with this panel, is everyone falling out of the sky? Is the reader looking down from above? Everyone's pose and orientation looks like they were cut and pasted from different books, help. VV Okay, that explains why Cap looks like he's about to throw up (he's airsick) but why does Fury look like he's running straight at the viewer, Hulk is doing the limbo on a different plane, Armored Forearms is standing oriented 90 degrees differently doing a martial arts kata, Quicksilver flying smoothly on a totally different axis ... everyone looks completely in control of themselves but they're all just oriented totally randomly. poo poo makes my brain hurt trying to figure it out help.

Cap, what's wrong with your faaaaaace? All I can see is a really tiny Iron Man punching Captain America in the jaw while we get an x-ray view of the handpuppet of a blue lady with a gun he's wearing on his other hand. Meanwhile, the Red Hulk has stolen one of Storm, Nick Fury, and a really tiny Quicksilver's legs to affix to his own three stumps; while a man cosplaying as Maria prepares to throw Quicksilver like a frisbee. It makes me want to redraw these characters from a different perspective. Edit: I know what they intended, but this is what I see.

Everyone has a tiny flat face gurning out from a weird potato head. Male or female, bruiser or Beauty. God, when the authority switched over to him was like my least favourite comics moment ever.

Quietly on X-Man and Authority was horrible but there's something about the guy I like. He's unique and so stylistically defined, and he really does capture bodies and motion so well. His faces range from passable to... well, we all know how bad his faces can be, and his giant bodies don't match every story, but I feel super happy he gets such respect and high-level work despite not being a "sexy" artist. We3 is half his magic, and All Star Supe's tone was very defined by how his art looks. I feel like him and Howard Chaykin should have a potato face drawing fight, though.

He's really horrible at drawing faces and really, bodies too, but amazing on action, motion and explosions and small details in them.

I will never understand why some people get such a.... visceral reaction to Frank Quitely faces. I'll be the first to say that his faces and female physiques are his weakest point, but even then he's awesome at telling a story, which is what really matters.

They're just not aesthetically pleasing like a Adam Hughes or Bryan Hitch, etc. If he can get body language as expressive as in those in what the Clark vs Superman images show, that much thought put into it, then he has to have a good understanding of how a body functions, anatomy works, and how his designs/styles will interpret it. People are used to idealized images of men and women in comics and that it should be "pretty." Admittedly I don't remember how expressive he can make his characters in terms of expressing emotions in the face vs something like a Kevin Maguire. EDIT: Agree with you on the last part.

I was the one who started the whole Quitely tirade (I think?) and in hindsight, I was being too dismissive of his work. I do like some of it, like We3, quite a bit, but I still think he's largely hit or miss. His strength being storytelling is definitely true, but it's not like every issue of New X-Men is as effective as the one where there's no dialogue (which I think is a fantastic issue, for the record). He's still pretty inconsistent and his faces are occasionally so off-putting and gnarly that it can take me out of the comic, which happened multiple times in New X-Men.

I'm not disagreeing. It's just funny because Quitely really does have such a powerful impact on people. I also agree that his New X-Men and Authority-era work are easily the worst times in terms of potato face. That said check out stuff like Flex Mentallo, it's definitely indicative of an artist who was trying a new style during New X-Men, one that didn't quite work.

If anyone else complains about Frank Quietly I'm going to suplex them into a canyon. You know who I like? Tim Sale. He's not perfect but I usually enjoy looking at something he's done. Like, Catwoman: When In Rome doesn't make any goddamn sense at all but it's pretty. This is from his issue of Solo with some very nice Cameron Stewart colors.   I like that he draws Catwoman with big gold bracelets even though it doesn't make any sense if you think about it for even a second. Something about it just "feels" right to me.

Weather you like it or not, his style defines New X-men in equal portion to Morrison's writing, which is a great thing for an artist.

That Catwoman pose is amazing, because it's the only time in a comic where that arched-back-butt-out-pinup-gal pose actually works, and to hilarious effect. I can't help but read their exchange in these completely bland, conversational tones, as well, which is also great.
