Zamboni Apocalypse posted:She only had 1/5th of her soul removed, which is why she only has Look, either: A) Pixie was corrupted by having part of her soul removed, transforming the naive waif of a girl into a porn star. -or- B) Marvel comics keeps as one of their main artists a man who sucks so much at his job that he can't manage to keep a female character on model because she was only 14 years old and there's no porn available to trace of girls that age, forcing Pixie to be aged 5 years overnight with no in-universe explanation. I find demonic corruption to be the more likely answer.

Not only does Land trace porn, but he also traces his own work.

At some point, when you are trying to achieve that much efficiency with so little artistic merit, why are you even a comic book artist anymore?

Because Marvel will continually pay him and he likes drawing sexy ladies.

Also it's not like Land was an artist dedicated to his craft who was driven to producing porn-traces through stress and deadlines, that's just how he works and he doesn't see anything wrong with it. As long as Marvel is prepared to keep passing him work, why wouldn't he take stacks of cash to flip through his archive of nudes?

Apparently he never misses a deadline. What I hate most about him is that the facial expressions never make sense within the context of what's happening. All these huge fake model smiles, and yes I know that's because that's what he's tracing, but it's just soooo loving dumb.

I'd be interested to see a similar thread on comics because even small little posts like the Sonic one about Ken Penders are entertaining as hell. I can only imagine the clusterfucks that DC and Marvel have gotten up to.

When I went back and read Birds of Prey, I was amazed that it was Greg Land drawing the series. I think his tracing and recycling began there, as I remember that his later issues started to recycle poses or something. It's been a while since I read the series.

There was an interview recently where he was talking about doing Spider-Woman and he was talking about his current Marvel books saying he had lobbied for Marvel to let him do the recent all female X-book cos that's what he really likes drawing but they said no, then the editor of Spider-Woman approached him to do Spider-Woman cos it was "his kind of book", this was also the same editor that thought that Manara cover was a good idea. Comics!

Everyone's really afraid of talking poo poo about anyone else for fear of getting blackballed from one or both of the Big Two, or even just blackballed from some of the bigger alternatives like Image. There's not that much money in comics, it's suicide to remove one of the like 5 places you can work at just to gossip.

And it being that small and incestuous it's probably even worse then hollywood as far as "buddies first" mantra. Basically find a modern pro-wrestling expose and exchange a few words.

Mr. Sinister doesn't dress like a stripper, he's nude all the time and you'll never get tips with the entire package on display from the get go.

Pepper Potts used to be a frumpy short lady and now she just looks like she walked off the set of Sex and the City. Hell, I'm sure someone once drew aunt May as a sexy vixen but with grey hair. Not exactly grey haired, but there's Trouble by Mark Millar that depicted aunt May as sexy:
