Senior Woodchuck posted:Left Skull is the commie imposter who killed Peter's parents. Right Skull is the original, who has since reclaimed the title. He was such a talent. I was obsessed with his work after New Frontier/Solo, and ran into him doing free sketches at some book festival in Halifax around 2006 or so. I got him to draw a portrait the Question for me, and he was a gent enough not to mention how fuckin' weird/dumb it was to get an artist you like to draw a portrait of a dude with no face. Edit: thinking back, Solo was so good. I loved the Cooke issue, and the Paul Pope one made my brain feel like it was popping out of the back of my head. Edit 2: Paul Pope's Cesar Romero Joker, drat.

You can see the dude's ribcage through his suit - it isn't at all literal but it makes him look like a skeleton-in-waiting and emphasises that it's a killing shot.

To elaborate a little more about why this simple illustration is so effective and how ink on the page is so important: The artists are using light and shadow to dictate form. SO MUCH comic book art is a penciller rendering countours - almost a paint by numbers framework - and then an "inker" coming in and adding varying line weights to that outline while cross hatching everything else to death. Often, they confuse adding more detail/lines as "better" and often it confuses the viewer. Then a colorist comes in and uses Photoshop gradients built from the outer color spectrum (hot, juicy colors) to add another layer on top of all that in ways that don't really suggest how contrast dictates the shapes we perceive. I'm an artist and don't know if I'm explaining it well so if I get time I'll try to find two really good clear cut examples of what I'm talking about and post them side by side but for now, here, the use of light and shadow really defines Strange's face and his cape, collar and its folds. Fine lines are used for ornate objects to add texture, not to show off the artist's new set of pens. Klaus Janson and Frank Miller used this heavy shadow approach to great effect in 80's Daredevil books. Joe Sinnott really helped bring out the weight and bulk of Jack Kirby's stuff on early FF work. Wil Eisner and Bernie Wrightson understood this type of visual communication.

on the topic of really intense portraits, here's a page from Immortal Hulk #48 Betty Ross' gamma form, and sometimes her unusually fast and silent changing to and from it, is used for great effect all through the series, but right here when she sees right through Joe Fixit, and stares right into your soul, the depth and intensity of her gaze is just  there's a lot of great art through the whole series but I think Betty's been the real star.

Chainsaw Man creator Tatsuki Fujimoto has a new one-shot out, Look Back, a story about how creating art can change your life for the better...and for the worse, a really personal story about grief, loss, success, envy, ambition all contained in 140 pages. It's also really amazing to look at   It's available in English here https://mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp/viewer/1009755

The flashback sequence in today's Marauders were by Klaus Janson. Janson inked parts of Bill Sienkiewicz's first run on Moon Knight, and later inked/finished nearly all of Frank Miller's Daredevil run. Sienkiewicz also drew parts of Miller's 1980s DD stuff (the Love & War GN, Elektra Assassin) which was where Spider-Verse got its inspiration for Kingpin. Sienkiewicz/Janson have collaborated fairly regularly for forty years now, including trading off pencil/ink duties for the Daredevil: End of Days mini-series from about a decade ago, but also on some covers and pin-ups in more recent years. I agree that it didn't quite work, I just thought it was worth pointing out that it was more "tribute to a lifelong friend/collaborator" than "aping a recent movie".

The issue is that Kingpin is very stylized while the surrounding and other characters aren't. If everything was more stylized it would look like he actually took place in that setting but he just looks....inhuman compared to the other characters. I understand the idea of exaggerating characteristics because comics are about big men with big muscles and whatnot but he just looks out of place. That being said I do appreciate the inspiration.

^^^I'm getting slight hints of P. Craig Russell (who I've posted about before) from this art^^^ Maybe it's the delicate line work and color palette because it's not nearly as stylized. Brazilianpeanutwar posted:Yeahhh it doesn’t really work if it’s not highly stylised like the movie does it? Yeah, I was about to say that SpiderVerse Kingpin was heavily cribbed from that Sienkiewicz work. The lovely art that was posted is someone trying to ape that style but it doesn't work if you're attempting to do it with traditional line work and generic techniques. Sienkiewicz is so good it's unreal. My only complaint with him sometimes is that his stuff can be hard to follow but that just draws me in and makes me look at it longer so that's a win. I met him as a fairly young lad in the early 80's and he signed my Moon Knight #1 comic which I sold 5 or 10 years later to buy cocaine. Yeah...I had some problems. Wonder what it would fetch now? This was before he was a bonified legend. BiggerBoat fucked around with this message at 23:47 on Jul 21, 2021 |

Sienkiewicz is probably my all-time favorite comic artist. His portraits on his social media are great to see as well. Sam Kieth also rules. I like weird and I'll take it over any Marvel/DC house style any day. He really had a totally unique style, at least at the time.

I love how so much of the line weighting is very soft and shaded or uses negative space to establish the edges of objects, and then Wolverine's teeth are just this nest of thick, dark, hard lines. It really makes his grimace the immediate focal point of a very detailed piece.
