That's just so abstract I'm not sure it could judged as good or bad. It just is.

Apparently from 2000AD. That's something that Slaine does regularly. He looks like a normal muscle barbarian most of the time, but then flips out and has warp spasms that twist and distort his body in ridiculous ways. As a single image, it looks weird, but in the context of the story, the reader would understand what's happening. Here's a Bisley version:

Hob_Gadling posted:It's definitely not one of the best warp spasms ever. For context, here's the "Before" pic from this Fabry:  It's a Celtic thing dating back to Cuchulainn (on whom Slaine is very closely based). The Tain describes it thusly: "The first warp-spasm seized Cúchulainn, and made him into a monstrous thing, hideous and shapeless, unheard of. His shanks and his joints, every knuckle and angle and organ from head to foot, shook like a tree in the flood or a reed in the stream. His body made a furious twist inside his skin, so that his feet and shins switched to the rear and his heels and calves switched to the front... On his head the temple-sinews stretched to the nape of his neck, each mighty, immense, measureless knob as big as the head of a month-old child... he sucked one eye so deep into his head that a wild crane couldn't probe it onto his cheek out of the depths of his skull; the other eye fell out along his cheek. His mouth weirdly distorted: his cheek peeled back from his jaws until the gullet appeared, his lungs and his liver flapped in his mouth and throat, his lower jaw struck the upper a lion-killing blow, and fiery flakes large as a ram's fleece reached his mouth from his throat... The hair of his head twisted like the tange of a red thornbush stuck in a gap; if a royal apple tree with all its kingly fruit were shaken above him, scarce an apple would reach the ground but each would be spiked on a bristle of his hair as it stood up on his scalp with rage."

Requiem: Vampire Knight is about as goth as you can get, but the visuals are stunning. Many of the panels need to be on the side of a van.

prefect posted:Has anybody ever worked out whether the best artists are actually more successful? I mean "best" in terms of artistic quality, not just popularity. I love Bill Sienkiewicz, but I could easily see that many/most people would find his work weird and unpleasant. That's impossible to measure because you'll find people in this very thread who think Dillon and Ramos are good artists.

Jedit posted:warp spasm Shorn of context, I thought a "warp spasm" might be something from WH40K that was similar to the way buddy was drawn, and buddy was drawn that way to emphasise his alienating brutality. Kind of like how Fist of the North Star drew dudes as gigantic to show they were tough and monstrously self-important. But nope it's an actual mythological thing (that sounds like it was written to describe a rage of alienating brutality). Viking bearshirts got nothing on a warp spasm. Holy O'gently caress.

Clint Langley's ABC Warriors is the only comic I've ever bought solely for the art, which is weird because I usually hate computer colouring. Somehow, though, it seems to work in the context of big robots beating the poo poo out each other and firing big guns. I wish he didn't use Gaussian Blur, though.

I think my favorite part of Nemesis is that at first he's just a mysterious driver in a souped up space car who fights the establishment. Then they finally show him and he looks like this:
