I prefer the idea of Bane having pain mask in the movies and luchador mask in everything else. The mask just works so well in a comicbook setting.

Baron Bifford posted:Joker must secretly be a telepath. He can mind control criminals into following him on the daftest of schemes. This is the only reason I can think of to justify how easily Heath Ledger was able to subvert every gangster and crooked cop he came across. Not really. He is just really really really adapt at manipulation. In the same movie he managed to get a cop to beat him up so he could take advantage of the situation (want me to tell you which one of your friends were cowards when they died) and getting Harvey to go against everything he stood against (order) with a few words. Joker can read people and find their soft spots. Why he is scary. Same in the comics.

SpeedofLife posted:Okay, I don't know what's going on in these images, but I'm really, really intrigued. Is all of Animal Man like this, or is this just a one-issue deal? Travel Foreman did the first 6 or so issues and his artwork is grotesquely beautiful. The comic itself is about Animal Man vs something called the Rot (and from that name alone you should get an idea of what things are supposed to be). Each issue contained something horrific like Hippos having their stomachs burst open from the inside or disgusting growths. This perfectly set the mood of the comic and was amazing, however it apparently took a bit of a toll on Foreman who left the title (I think due to exhaustion or something like that). The new artist, whose name currently escapes me) is doing a good job keeping up the style but Foreman was knockng it out of the park.

bobkatt013 posted:How much of that was drawn by Bill Finger? Considering the stylistic differences and whatnot I would say quite a few. Honestly Kane was never a good artist and it is quite easy to tell his drawings. The only interesting thing he bought to the table artistically was his idea of using "camera angels" in the artwork (giving different views to express mood and atmosphere) and even that was probably heavily influenced by Finger.

To paraphrase Spinal Tap: What's wrong being sexy? How about some awesome art work for an awesome artwork thread. Have I mentioned how much I love Andrea Sorrentino artwork in I, Vampire?   I heard a rumour that he is leaving the book soon and that is making me very sad. He gives off a bit of a Jae Lee vibe but I prefer his stuff as Lee can come off a bit stunted and uses the same poses very very often (though he makes very pretty artwork too).

In regards to Lee, I really like him as an artist because he does the "traditional" superhero look very well. We are talking about characters where the men are sculptured muscular men and the women are supermodels with swords. Is it stylistic and different? No, but that is not what Jim Lee is selling. He is doing superhero comics about superheroes looking like superheroes. Not realistic but an ideal almost. Lee does this very well, and while tastes may change, Lee is consistent enough and his style was accepted to be the driving force, for good or bad, of the look of comics for a very long time.

I always thought that the reason stuff gets recoloured and such (like in the Sandman below) is due to paper quality. The simple colours that people love so much might like good on crappy basic paper, but as comics are reprinted on higher grade paper, the transfer might look...lacking. This was my assumption at least.

Drifter posted:I have seen people who've complained in the past about comic artists posejacking each others' work and the like, what's the difference between that and this? One is a homage, the other is tracing hoping no-one will notice. It's kind of like the Kaare Andrew's covers for the Incredible Hulk.  This isn't some artist ripping off Sandeck and claiming it as his own but rather taking the inspiration from the art and adding his own twist to it, still staying faithful to the original. So yes, homage not blatant plagiarism.

Flesh Forge posted:This is something that you don't really see too much any more, hand-lettering that has a context other than an innovative way to draw "BANG" - look at the question marks, how they resemble Hebrew. I don't know if it is intentional or not, but the question marks that resemble Hebrew also resemble the double "yud" which is one of the ways the name of God is written in the Torah.

The one thing I have hated the most about Finch's art is his faces. Everyone, man and woman, has the same face. It really annoyed my in his Ultimate X-Men run and I can't stand the books he draws because of it.

Dark_Tzitzimine posted:Capullo also suffers from that. I remember a promo that he did of the JL and everyguy had the same face, it was kind of eerie. Actually, a lot of DC artists had the same problem: as much as I like Kirkham, Rocafort and Reis, they seems to have only a few faces on their repertoire. I admit that Capullo also does it but the reason I like his style over Fincher any day is because Capullo is a lot more cartoonish. I can accept the flaw in something like a cartoon where every character has the same chine or eyes or whatnot but with Fincher he goes for a more photorealistic style and then it looks like he uses the same model for every character he draws regardless of sex, race, and age.

bigbigtruck posted:I've seen his name a lot on comics sites, though I can't remember where or in what context. He did a retrospective on the Solo books on Comicsalliance. I couldn't read all his reviews because his first review was so terrible, basically how can this awesome indie artist stoop so low to write a crappy book for DC (DC being a mainstream comic publisher therefore all it's books are crappy). I don't know if his reviews got any better but the first one was just so terrible and seemed to be more about his gripe with DC then anything else. He also burned a copy of Morrison's Supergods because of some gripe he had with Morrison (I think he saw Morrison as a false messiah or something).
