Faces aside, a lot of those lines they decided to ink are inexplicable. I'm pretty sure like a third of them were guidelines for shading and definition and not actually supposed to be inked.

For the record that's from The Authority v2/2003 #5. Tan Eng Huat is credited with "art", and Dave Baron with colors. It's essentially a fill-in issue, as Dwayne Turner, Sal Regla, and Dave Baron were the art team for issues 1-4 and 6-13 of the series, with Regla/Baron working over Whilce Portacio pencils for the 14th and final issue. He mostly does concept art these days, but he drew most of John Arcudi's 2001 Doom Patrol revival and a big chunk of Simon Spurrier's Legion run of X-Men Legacy. He uses a lot of lines (and draws some divisive faces) but to echo what was said above, the page posted seems like a mix between "rush job", "someone colored it straight from pencils", and "maybe he was trying out a slightly new style that didn't really work". Here's a random "page with a fair number of faces" from Doom Patrol circa 2001  And another from 2011's X-Men Legacy  In general he's pretty cool, here's his Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/tan_enghuat/?hl=en

Oh wow, yeah, those are much better. The Doom Patrol page is still a little wonky, but the other is great.

Bro Dad posted:The Authority #5 I have many questions. But my main one is "is everyone made out of balsa wood in this comic?" Because whoa. I don't know if I can chalk it up to the inker or not either. Those thin lines on the faces are ostensibly there for a reason, I would like to think, but I can't ascertain what reason that might be. For a second, I thought they might be there for the colorist to suggest highlights and shadows (like a paint by number) but, upon closer inspection, that doesn't make sense either. Structurally, compositionally and proportion wise, I think I could work with this if you gave it to me to ink. The layouts are fine. The artist almost seems like he's trying to invoke Walt Simonson but Walt, even though he can be blocky and a little line happy, usually doesn't add lines that don't actually describe something.

You see lines like that all the time from penciled work before it gets shaded in by the inker or colorist. But this looks like they just came in and inked every single line they could find on the page.

 Second Lieutentant "We Gave Him A Map To An Iceberg, How Were We To Know?", v5 #14 1999 Whole issue is pretty good, art-wise. B&W except for Skull, until near the end of the book - you get weird dreams when you're destroyed by/commingled with a Cosmic Cube.

IIRC this is the era where editorial was making them stretch out the passing of the baton between Peter and Ben so that they could keep Ben in the Scarlet Spider suit longer because readers liked that suit, and everyone in the creative team was really annoyed about it and half assed all the Scarlet Spider comics.

He definitely rushed his two issues, layouts only. I think every Scarlet Spider comic from that stretch were thrown together in a week.

Looking past the whole hyper-gaunt cheeks thing: the eyes look like they're from a different piece. Or maybe they've been hastily resized.

All prettiness aside, the cover is by Jim Terry, who like pretty much everyone involved in the book is a member of a Native nation. The art is exaggerated (and honestly looks a little 'off' from his normal style, possibly because it's inked and/or colored by Brian Reber, ) but I can fully believe some of the exaggeration is very deliberate in the sense that so many non-white characters in superhero comics (including everyone on that cover) are generally drawn so that they look like pallete-swapped white people. If you're doing a book based on the idea of representation, I can see how you would want to course correct that, and maybe err on the side of over correcting.

I honestly like that guy's face a lot. He's distinctive in a charming way, rather than being just another Generic Interchangeable Handsome Man like most superheroes. He feels a lot more real. However, I will poke fun at Scowly McKnifedude on the left there. The nineties are over, man!

Yeah I don't hate that cover. It's pretty 90s, sure, but the anatomy is competent, the characters are distinct, the poses are believable... The cheekbones guy clearly isn't an error, he's meant to look that way.

flatluigi posted:ITT: people who are treating a stylized person w/ indigenous ancestry as if they were a badly drawn white dude I didn't post it because I thought it was particularly badly drawn (in retrospect the thread with bad art in the title was a poor choice), it was because I found his expression out of place. He's in a traditional action pose, yet the face (to me) just looks sad/melancholy.
