Put this in the main chat thread, but it may go better here. I didn't think this warranted it's own thread. But, I know how much BSS loves Rob Liefeld. I went to see the new Captain America movie last night, and on the way out, spotted this mini poster he apparently did for Noah. Here it is in all it's glory.

This is actually amazing. I like how Noah looks nothing like the movie version the poster is for. Actually the longer I look at it the better it gets. Wolves are little grey tigers right? Polar bears are just angry white gorillas right? What is the snake hanging from? Why is the ostrich so disgusted? great art As many questions as it answers.

Also where are Noah's pouches and why isn't he grinding his 5000 teeth. What has happened to Mr Liefeld and what the gently caress were the producers thinking to use him for a poster for that particular movie?

The best known part of the Noah story involving animals is that they were brought on board in pairs, so naturally Liefeld drew them solo.

I'm relatively new to comics so I gotta ask: what's up with every comic from like 4+ years ago (and DC comics today) coloring all their stuff using gradients? It looks awful and everything is so drat shiny. Everything looks pillow shaded.

It looks awful and everything is so drat shiny. Everything looks pillow shaded. From a colorist's perspective, it's a really easy way to give objects volume, but without good direction it craps up the composition of the whole page, likely because they focus on individual people and not their positions in relation to each other. DC constantly fucks up their stories with unnecessary gradients; the closest series that's saved from gradients is Batman, since it practically reads on the tin that modern Gotham is a monotone kind of place. Marvel learned smartly about this sometime around when the Marvel movies made their initiative toward comics, and some of their more memorable serieses in recent history (Hawkeye, Superior Foes of Spider-man) don't use gradients at all, but go instead for block shading which preserves the original art much more.  Or Thor: God of Thunder, which breaks some dark shades up with lighter shades, all at different thicknesses.

It's very easy to impress an employer with little artistic knowledge by creating realistic looking depth with gradient mapping, while actually good colorists make much simpler images and are assumed to be lazy and unskilled and aren't hired. Adobe products have made both techniques very easy to do, but only one is impressive to a moron.

I'd thought an industry based on it's artwork would have higher standards than that. Is there any reason why DC is like this besides general incompetence? I don't really know much about them besides the general receptions they've gotten around here.

It's definitely not all great, especially in the middling books* - Swamp Thing looks depressingly bland for it's quality right now - but there is definitely good color work going on. Batman during Zero Year is ridiculously vibrant  When Jae Lee is on Batman/Superman it pops   Action Comics right now is really bright and fun  Love this from the last Wonder Woman.  Animal Man with Rafael Albuquerque got good stuff  Justice League 3000's really fits that odd, creepy linework  Detective this week was a knockout (though I think the artists do their own colors on that one.)  e: and have a dream sequence page from Batwoman they guested on   *aaaaand their highest profile event title

The best part of that Noah poster is how for some reason all the animals are ready to tear the viewer's guts apart. Except for the walrus, who is perfectly dopey trying to squeeze into the picture.
