TwoPair posted: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. He doesn't, tho? At least to me. He looks mad/determined, not sad.

It's pretty generic. The only thing that stands out is Happy McMurder Girl.

I read the faces as stylized and trying deliberately to convey facial features that don't scream "generic white person." The bodies aren't really any worse to me than 80% of commercial superhero art.

I was honestly surprised when I looked it up and found out those muscles actually exist, and they weren't just entirely made-up superhero body greebling. Real humans have like, 3-5 of them on each side rather than 30-50, is all.

This would be a whole lot less disingenuous if , for a company that has been around for more than 50 years, they could come up with more than 4 characters, 3 of which most people have never heard about. Good for the writers and artist getting paid and exposure from this, but yeesh.

Before seeing the signature I knew that was Strowman who definitely has a unique style. I remember his art in David's original X-Factor and I loved it, but found it so bad in David's more recent X-Factor run that I couldn't even finish the issues he drew.

I'm always disappointed when we see Juggernaut without the helmet and he's just a muscular dude and doesn't actually have a dome shaped head. Edit: ugh I opened the https://x-men.fandom.com/ wiki to read about Juggernaut's armor and the background image they've chosen is a piece of Greg Land art with a rather atrocious porn face  just the loving worst Rotten Red Rod fucked around with this message at 18:51 on Dec 8, 2020 |

It's a pet peeve of mine. I'm an illustrator and a graphic designer and that 3D, beveled, gold plated, lens flare sparkle, thick outline poo poo gets under my skin. First and foremost, text is supposed to be readable. Anything you do to it that makes it less legible is bad (unless it's supposed to be subliminal or something). And good lord, the kerning on it but still taking the time to put it on an arc and enlarge "HEROIC". Looks like a community newsletter and I'm honestly surprised there's no drop shadow on them bling letters. I don't like it. Funny thing is, the type at the bottom is perfectly fine. The rest of the drawing is rather bad but I've seen poo poo like that a million times so it's hardly egregious.

Richard Corben died today at the age of 80. He was probably best known for his work in Heavy Metal in the 70's and 80's (the sword-and-sandals vignette that most people would think of first when they think of the animated movie was adapted from his Den )but I know him as one of the first fill-in artists on Hellboy. A lot of the Hellboy fillins would try to emulate Mignola's style (Duncan Fegredo just about perfected it), but Corben absolutely brought his own style and sensibilities. Corben was the most unique out of all the Hellboy fill-in artists. He brought that grotesquerie that you see a lot in British comics and political comics, and the stories that Mignola gave him took advantage of that. My favorite Mignola/Corben collaboration was The Crooked Man, which was wholly an American folktale, set in the backwoods of Appalachia. It's a great story and I'd encourage anyone to read it, and Corben's art gives it a foreground creepiness that Mignola's other stuff doesn't have. Where Mignola would obscure with shadow and stylization, Corben highlights it to great effect. Also I say "fill-in" but if you read the intro for Makoma in Hellboy Vol. 7, Mignola said he tried really hard to write something specifically for him, since he was so much of a fan of Corben's work.    Oh he also drew the Bat Out of Hell cover https://twitter.com/artofmmignola/status/1337139684053381121?s=21 zoux fucked around with this message at 22:19 on Dec 10, 2020 |

He did an issue of Solo so if you like his stuff it's worth tracking down (just like every issue of Solo is worth tracking down) Please note this isn't a Han Solo comic but a "famous artist gets to draw whatever story he wants comic".

Yeah that's some good stuff. I never heard the name. Oddly the worst of the lot is the Meat Loaf album cover and that's likely what he's most famous for I'd bet. RIP
