Not really sure what there is to like about Ramos, all his characters look like they have been made out of silly putty, there are like three different faces he can pull off and whenever I read a comic with him on art my eyes just glaze over because I can't be bothered to start looking and what the mess on the page is supposed to be. His style would be good for conveying motion but it doesn't matter because his characters look wonky as hell regardless of what they are doing. Despite extremely busy scenes when you focus on a certain part you see that the characters don't have really that much detail on them if there are more then a single character in the panel. but whatever, I guess

MettleRamiel posted:I've always been partial to Chris Bachalo. I know it's kind of cartoony and exaterated, and that his costume designs can be very similar, but I just can't help loving his art! Chris Bachalo is basically an Humberto Ramos from an alternate universe where he is actually an good artist. I'm pretty sure this thread has not mentioned Alan Davis yet. This is a very bad mistake.

Everything is liked by someone. Doesn't mean that it isn't objectively bad. Like genocide. Some people like genocide. Or if you want to get worse, Ctrl+Alt+Del. Some people honestly like that comic. They are still terrible. So is that "art".

LtKenFrankenstein posted:You are objectively bad. Well, by any usually accepted objective definitions (no criminal record, generally a nice guy, friends, a loving family, etc.) of the word I am not bad. I'm sure that you, some fundamentalist religious groups and maybe a really pedantic racist here and there thinks I am bad, but since they are fringe groups their opinion would be considered subjective. Just like the opinion of anyone who considers that terrible crap to be actually good art. I'm not saying that the guy can't draw anywhere else, but he must have had a hangover on the day he had to turn in that page, because holy poo poo.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:Head disconnection is running rampart throughout the Marvel Universe gently caress Humberto Ramos. Seriously, I can barely sketch a stick figure but I'm pretty sure that given a few months of drawing training I could at least replicate this bullshit. He is an horrible artist whose "art" isn't worth the paper it's printed on and unlike other horrible artists his stuff actually seems to get worse and lazier, at least his early stuff is sometimes tolerable.

StumblyWumbly posted:Incompetent means you cannot read the physical and emotional content of a scene. That's not the only definition of incompetence in art, I'm pretty sure. Ramos is incompetent either way, because regardless of what his characters are doing their poses are unrealistic and exaggerated. His art is so terrible that my eyes glaze over them because I don't want stare at them any longer then necessary to figure out what is going on at any given moment. StumblyWumbly posted:Style generally means the art doesn't really mesh with what the subject actually looks like. Style means the particular way an artist draws something. An artist's style can be realistic or unrealistic. Ramos's style, whatever it is, is horrible. Some artists are good at unrealistic style. Some artists have boring art but at least conform into physics and anatomy. Ramos is capable of neither. Geekboy posted:How dare he draw in a stylized manner! I didn't say I can do better. I said I could replicate him. He isn't doing anything in those pages that an average person wouldn't be able to do if given enough practice. Not sure what is hyperbolic about it, are you sure you understand the definition of that word? Plenty of people, some of which don't get paid for their work, are able to do incredibly superior art to Ramos's current crap. Ramos himself has done much superior work in the past, which is why his current direction is frustrating - it's like how Greg Land is actually a pretty great artist if he didn't waste his time in tracing poo poo off porn movies.

I don't think "You can tell what's going on" is a sign of good art or storytelling. Otherwise Greg Land is a good artist and a storyteller. But he isn't, neither is Humberto Ramos. Neither is myself drawing a stick figure on a paper punching another stick figure - you can tell what's going on, but it's not worth paying for in a major comic book.

Awesomonster posted:Did he ever even use his arms to move his wheelchair? I don't recall it ever being addressed, but it seems to me as if he'd be better off using his brain powers to move himself around. I know in the cartoon he had that zamboni chair that he flew around in, which I remember mainly because I had the action figure. Charles Xavier doesn't have telekinetic powers. He does have all sorts of fancy flying chairs in the comics too, though.

Die Laughing posted:It's worst not worse. So many people are posting art they don't like, and not actual bad art. Jim Lee has plenty of flaws, but he's not a bad artist. He draws a good Catwoman and Batman, and I can't think of a better rendition of Nightwing. That cover of Batman and Nightwing racing across the roof tops is one of my favorites. Yeah, he's not a bad artist at all. But to me he's kind of a...boring artist. Once you've seen one Jim Lee comic you pretty much know what to expect from all of them.

My respect for Jim Steranko just doubled - and it was pretty loving huge to begin with. TwoPair posted:Holy poo poo, Steve Dillon's art on Avenging Spider-Man #11 is atrocious. I just cannot stand those faces. A page, for reference: Wow. They look like they are stoned out of their minds. It's amazing how he gets work when he only has one face he can draw. It may be fat, old, young, in drag, but it's always the same face. DarkCrawler fucked around with this message at 12:15 on Aug 30, 2012 |

Once in a while this thread has something that is so bad that my eyes try to instinctively protect me from it. They just glaze over it and I have to force myself to watch it. This is one of those. I don't know why it happens. I figure it's an evolutionary response from back in the days when we were still living in the woods and out of nowhere, BAM there's a monkey rear end in a top hat. Nobody wants to see that.
