It's beautiful stuff, but by and large he just draws the same woman over and over again and I wish he'd switch it up a bit in his comic art.

This one looks like Carrie Fisher. Perhaps he's in love with Carrie Fisher?

My Saint's Row 3 boss is She-Hulk and I pretty much exclusively use the melee wrestling takedowns, it's pretty fantastic. That's all I have to say.

Maybe it's supposed to be gross ribbed body armor? Batman's whole gimmick is being frightening, maybe it's Batgirl's too.

This reminds me of that Heironymous Bosch painting, The Garden of Earthly Delights. It's like a weird modern version of it.

Apparently when you recolor something, you have to remove all lighting and color temperature?

Anyways, this was posted on the Hawkeye Initiative and I have no idea what the gently caress is going on with her body. She's apparently just a giant hip with a boob and an arm sticking out of it.



Edit: I'd love to see someone redraw her when he's just standing straight up.

I tried to make this easier to parse, and... IT WORKED

This is from Issue 1 of a 3 part April O'Neil miniseries, published by Archie in 1993. Bob Fingerman was the artist responsible and he's normally pretty good, so I can only assume he must've hated drawing these characters.



The other two issues aren't much better. I think that's supposed to be April in the helmet there...

Although I can indeed read the thread title, I feel inclined to post this Rob Liefeld cover I have never seen before; I'm actually surprised it isn't on either of the Progressive Boink lists of his worst drawings:

I'm relatively new to comics so I gotta ask: what's up with every comic from like 4+ years ago (and DC comics today) coloring all their stuff using gradients? It looks awful and everything is so drat shiny. Everything looks pillow shaded.

It's very easy to impress an employer with little artistic knowledge by creating realistic looking depth with gradient mapping, while actually good colorists make much simpler images and are assumed to be lazy and unskilled and aren't hired. Adobe products have made both techniques very easy to do, but only one is impressive to a moron.

I think it looks fine, other than the motion lines being a touch off. If you removed half of the motion lines, or all of them, it's a much better panel.

The other great thing about Beastars, other than it being really well written and drawn, is that the author, Paru Itagaki, is the daughter of Keisuke Itagaki; the mangaka behind Baki the Grappler

I believe I've posted Baki a few times, because it's an acquired taste, but it's basically What Are Proportions The Manga



Bonus - Hannma bossing George W. Bush around panel


baki art rules and tradd moore’s stuff reminds me of it a lot

i dont remember.....his power is that he can go into any window and come out of any other window and the comic is about the infinite number of superheroes and supervillains spanning the multiverse, so i dont think we get to see the window cave. but i might be misremembering

No value judgments on anyone's reading habits here, but both of the recent shittily-colored Spider-Man Unlimited pages aren't being helped by what seems like a bad scan of a print copy. Here's a side-by-side of the pages posted here vs. the ones on Marvel Unlimited/Comixology





Not to say either page is not without multiple issues, but either the initial print job or someone cranking the contrast way up on their scan are doing it zero favors.

Also that Luke Cage page comes from a comic that came out shortly after the Ostrander/Ferry Heroes for Hire relaunch, which put Luke back in the tiara/open shirt after the early 1990s CAGE series took him out of it. Ferry's redesign had it look more like a visor than a headband as well.

ive always maintained that the adobe gradient mesh tool is the worst thing to ever happen to comic book art

Here's some obvious low hanging fruit with Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie) #113

Now the cover was from the standard cover team of the time:

Pencils: Patrick Spaziante
Inks: Nelson Ribeiro
Colors: either an unknown colorist who didn't sign their name or Spaziante and/or Ribeiro

and the Frontispiece is also fine (and again, the standard frontispiece team):

Pencils: Jeff Axer
Inks: can't find any artist signatures so I can't say for sure but cross referencing some full stories and frontispieces with signatures that Axer worked on at the time my best guess would be Nelson Ribeiro
Colors: Josh and Aimee Ray

But then you get to the actual issue itself (note: cherry picking random highlight pages):

Original SatAM Episode Script: Pat Allee
Script Adaptation: Jay Oliveras* ("with help by Karl Bollers")
Pencils/Inks: Jay Oliveras* ("with help by Many Hands")
Colors: Josh and Aimee Ray
Letters: Vickie Williams

(*Jay Oliveras is rumored to be a pseudonym for then-editor Justin Gabrie)

the covers look awful as well.

the difference in his style vs traditional manga art is like the opposite side of the spectrum from eiichiro oda. really puts the lie in the notion that all manga art looks the same
