EthanEde posted:Greg Horn is so terrible, that catwoman is terrible in every way. And then there is this I think it's pretty obvious by now that Greg Horn has some female issues and gets off on seeing them dominated and in submissive poses. The Power Girl one is an interesting example, as she's always been a strong feminist character(albeit stereotypical, as comic book nerds obviously aren't good at writing those). She's obviously supposed to be in some sort of army boot camp and the drillmaster is screaming 100 PUSHUPS MAGGOT! at her...but it still manages to look sexual instead. If she looked angry or at least determined, it may have made it a bit better. Mister Roboto fucked around with this message at 14:18 on Apr 15, 2011 |

Kojiro posted:Bloody hell, that's indefensible. Why would you even draw that?! Honestly? Probably because he knows some undersexed nerd will buy it for lots of money. I'm not justifying it or saying it's not demeaning, but I will say it's not BAD art. He has some degree of skill, he is just clearly pandering for those who want sexy women in distress without going on full naked.

I'm hoping non-Western comic artists are cool:   This one is a bit creepy. Kojima Ayami does some very nice, if eerie, work. She's mainly known for Castlevania, but she does commissioned storybooks at times. Mister Roboto fucked around with this message at 01:29 on Apr 17, 2011 |

Trast posted:Stuff like that makes me cherish the times Amanda Conner draws Powergirl. Conner does plenty of cheesecake but its not even in the same galaxy as crap like that. Conner did Power Girl really well, capturing the essence of her being a 20something woman who knows everyone's checking out her stripperific outfit and the ridiculousness that would surround that lifestyle.

Lurdiak posted:Oh I know, I just think it was really funny to see all the posts talking about the "symbolism" and "deconstruction of his previous works" Miller was putting in DKSA when it was obvious it was simply incoherent because of incoherence, not some high minded artistic intent. Because that was what people THOUGHT Miller was doing...until he revealed it was written during 9/11. Up til that point, his works had been decent and seeing him completely devolve into incoherence was jarring.

Judging from the arms and hair, she was probably drawn naked in the tub with her immoral bits covered up in the biblical way and some editor said "Yeah, no." So a quick leather-suit limbs-redraw later, boom, weird art.

I like how this is one of the few depictions of incorrect overly-done muscles on a FEMALE that's getting attention. Every other time it's the usual suspects of Liefeld and similar 90s superstars injecting bubbly steroids into everything from the delts to the pecs to the weird ribbed muscles on the ribs.

A bit of neglect for manga here. GANTZ is probably the most bizarrely drawn comic of all time. The author combines huge naked tits with horrible dismemberment with intricately drawn monsters. There was a huge lull in his quality when the Tsunami hit, but he seems to have recovered and the little details are returning. He draws horrific monsters and weird mechs very well. Example: a super-mech suit.    Which, of course, leads to the aliens deciding to mimic the mech:  And things pretty much go as you'd expect. It's a great series, but it's bloody and dark and not for everyone. But it has some drat good designs.

Ruin Completely posted:Would it be all right to post good web comic art? I realize bad web comic art could fill a dozen threads by itself easy and should probably be left out, but the really really good stuff seems so rare I thought it might be worth showing. I say do it, it's always good to see different art styles and we should respect good artists without the stigma of "oh they're on the INTERNET" like it degrades the art.

SynthOrange posted:Did you even click that link or did you just assume it would lead to Strong Female Characters again? Yes, I did click the catwoman link, thanks. Did you notice the fact SFC was posted on this page already? seigfox posted:Are you just troll baiting or do you actually have something to back that up? I'm honestly interested. I don't troll. The SFC comic is funny and a good take-that at the comicbook industry and the silly female poses. I'm not disputing that--I said it was overplayed since it gets posted a lot whenever anything remotely related to comicbook females is mentioned. Especially as it's just that: a joke, and hardly the solution or the witty commentary to end sexism. Posting it also ignores how it mocks the other side, too: A nice guy gets killed for respecting women, another is deliberately not sexually submissive and is aggressive like comicbook males (least I could do parody). So yes, it was funny at first, but now it's run into the ground, it's not as clever to whip it out as people think it is. Mister Roboto fucked around with this message at 19:01 on Jun 12, 2012 |

Amanda Conner MADE the Power Girl series, it should be no surprise it faltered when she left. She had a real talent. But (and I love Amanda Conner's work) her PG was definitely not a bodybuilder, showing the aforementioned issue I was talking about.

I specifically said it looked like a combo of multiple contorted shots, though, like the flexible spine of one with the flailing legs of the other. So yeah, almost impossible for all of them combined, but really, that shouldn't be the point the suspension of belief is broken for comic book superbodies.

Someone find the artist's twitter/facebook/whatever and just flat out ask him if: -he WAS actually going for horrific. -he actually thought that was good artwork of a sexy woman. -was rushed and did the best he could. -was trolling and seeing what he could get away with.

mind the walrus posted:Genuinely not sure of the source, but Street Fighter have had quite a few comics and this is a great use of style you don't normally see with the characters. Not sure what work/s it's aping though: I'd like to think of myself as one of the biggest SF fans, especially when it comes to trivia and obscure characters, so I recognize EVERY single character there including the Final Fight mooks and the backstory-only characters like Zeku. Except for one guy. I know I should, too, but I can't place him: the dude with the metal left eye. Looks like Kano from Mortal Kombat, and he appears three times, once in a fireman uniform, once in a hoodie on the right and (I think) in a robe behind Ken in the middle. What's he from?

Gavok posted:That's the Shadaloo Cyborg. He appears in those forms during the Street Fighter II anime. They turned that movie into a game for Playstation called Street Fighter II: The Interactive Game. In it, you simply watched the entire movie while taking pictures at certain points and with the ability to read files on characters and locations. The more correct pictures you take, the stronger the Cyborg becomes. Then at the end, you're placed in a fight with Ryu and it FINALLY becomes an actual game. If you lose, it plays the ending of the movie. If you win, Bison prepares mass production of these guys and Ryu shows up to put an end to it. Ooooooh yeah, that was for the Saturn, too. Good lord that's an extremely obscure reference, I was like 5 years old when that was out. No wonder I don't recall the character. I'm going to assume the artist is Japanese since the game was definitely not as popular here in the US. Is the guy behind Ken the same guy? For that matter, is football helmet at the bottom the same guy too?

Lurdiak posted:I was puzzled about the guy smashing bricks near Joe and Sean until I realized it was meant to be SF1 Ryu with his shirt off. I recognized the cyborg, but only because of... a certain... street fighter... flash video... Yeah, it's a testament to how, in comics, we recognize characters' outfits far more than their faces. Take Guy in the upper right, it took me a while to realize he had his Final Fight gi unbelted and that's why it looked strangely like a vest. Another nice touch is Sagat in the upper left. He's not just lying there scratching his butt, he's lying like the statue in his stage.
