Isn't "Christopher Hart" one of those house names? The art in those drat things never looks the same between books.

I honestly don't think that art is that bad. A bit generic, but really, it's still better than some of the junk that gets printed.

^Yeah, that looks about identical to the book section of my local Michael's. Speaking of Chris Hart, can you spot what's wrong in these pictures?    I personally think "hack" is a polite understatement.

EgoEgress posted:^Yeah, that looks about identical to the book section of my local Michael's. 1 - yes the boob is probably not normally made of solid bands of muscle although to be honest I have never cut one open to check. 2 - Mommy why is the wolf's foot on backwards? That looks so obviously lovely I dunno what would prompt him to draw that so wrong TWICE, intentionally. The rest of it, whatever style I dunno but what the gently caress is with the backwards foot? 3 - Apparently she is like a hyena furry because her back legs are about a foot and a half too short (even accounting for perspective they look way too short). Since she's got her arms going straight down, evidently her knees are directly under them, so umm  e: Really even his manga drawings are pretty terrible and lowest-common-denominator but I guess he knows who is buying his books.

I think you can make an exception for overly muscular 90's-like imagery when it comes to Bane because he's supposed to look ridiculous, right?

It's also supposed to be one of those 3D covers from Villains Month which is why the perspective looks off.

Cool Christopher Hart fact: "Hart has had the top selling art book in the United States for over a year, continuously ("Manga Mania," published by Random House. In addition, he has had the top 1, 2 and 3 art books in the country, simultaneously (Manga Mania, Anime Mania, and Drawing Cutting Edge Comics, published by Random House). His most recent series on drawing manga, "Manga for the Beginner," appeared on Bookscan's Top 50 list in the Art Category for two straight years; in addition, every title in the 4-book series has appeared on Bookscan's top 50 list, with three of them having appeared simultaneously."

I can decide if I like or dislike the cover for the next issue of The Walking Dead: On the one hand, Neegan's face seems a little off from how he's usually drawn, but on the other hand, it goes give off a nice sense of the menace and  "What has he done?!" that defines the character.I'm on the fence about this one.

The pencils and inks are killer, that spooky leer alone is doing as much for it as the blood and the knife. There's a really prominent coloring fuckup on the nose though  and the blood looks flat and computery in general. Probably cause it just slightly shifts value with the face and jacket? If it were bolder it would read as graphic but with the photoshoppy transparency & gradient effects it just reads as failed realism to me.

I thought Thor had stuffed his head down his socks at first. VVV Loki's head is laying across Thor's upper leg, his horns must be angled pretty flat to end up pointing where they are. It really does look like he's got Thor's leg for a head though. Bubble-T fucked around with this message at 05:14 on Jun 6, 2013 |

Those are really stylish and stuff but I cannot parse what is going on with Loki's head. I can see the horns, yeah, but Thor's manly, meaty thigh is where Loki's head is. Like, in the same place. Help.

I love how he draws costumes. Instead of custom-tailored skin-tight spandex, his heroes wear stuff that, you know, someone would wear. Especially that Daredevil one with the sweats and the training gloves.

The cowboy boots with the raised heel are a nice nod to the character too.

Also Grampa wants to be Frank Quitely, which is not always a good thing.
