My kids (6 year old girl and 4 year old boy) been watching the Spider-Man cartoon on Disney+ and while both are into it I wish they made a superhero cartoon show for little girls. Something like Ms Marvel would be perfect for this but nope, only dudes get their own show.

Edit: anyone know if the Marvel rising cartoons they got an the D+ need like any comic knowledge or something? Cause they got a lot of teamups and stuff which would be a neat way to introduce the kids to a couple more characters.

If you don’t mind anime, Sailor Moon and Pretty Cure are classics for a reason

That's one reason I kind of admire Squaresoft and their decision to make all Final Fantasy characters from IX onward insanely difficult to accurately cosplay by adding 1000% tiny metal gewgaws to every outfit or utilizing fabric that forms and drapes in ways no earthly fabric ever could. It's a weaponized cosplay arms race.

FFXIV designers actually consulted cosplayers in the company about whether the clothes where actually wearable or not, which is fun

The problem with that drawing is that the upper half of the picture has the character's body angled to highlight her boobs (obviously) but then the bottom half continues as if it was a normal 3/4 view. It makes her look like she has a tiny head.

Also her arms are inexplicably missing

Manga is in a weird situation. Some quick searching shows that Princess Candle isn’t available in English, and pirating/scanlating is often how manga finds its initial Western audience. A lot of manga only get brought over officially because the popularity of the scans prove that their is an audience for it

Like, I’m all about supporting the official release (I have two bookshelf full of manga volumes), it’s just that pirating isn’t really black and white here

Yeah, the original art is clearly not intending to convey that the dark iris is the entirety of the eye. The white of the eye *is* there, Greg simply made the deliberate choice not to explicitly draw the boundary of the lower eyelid and trusted in the viewer to composite the entire image. It works well. The redraw just has an unsettling, uncanny-valley effect.

And you can see where the lower eyelid ends because of the shading! It’s a great piece of art and it’s a shame that Marvel changed it

Well, here's something cool. A while back I bought this piece of original art from Juan Ferreyra. I've been a fan of his since Colder was released back in 2012. I bought the issue of Harley Quinn: Black, White and Red that he illustrated and I loved it. Saw that he was selling the art and I had to get a page, the price seemed reasonable for what it was.

I liked his interpretation of Ivy and Joker, and I got some good shots of them on this page.

Anyway, here it is.

Pretty sure, yeah. Adams is kind of a god for being the first comic artist to solidly bring a realistic style to the medium, a little like Alex Ross in his day. He was a bit like the anti Kirby where everything on the page looked like it used photo reference and was done by a guy who teaches an anatomy class rather than the overly stylized approach of The King. For a long while there in 70's and 80's, "how real you could make it look" was the benchmark of quality work.

This is basically true for American's overall taste in art.

Yeah and I kind of hate it! This is obviously kind of a dumb opinion but I feel like at a certain point realism in art is just abdicating having an art style

Drifting Dragons actually takes a lot of cues from early Ghibli, especially Nausicaa and Castle in the Sky.

Speaking of gorgeous art, more folks should read the Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind manga. It’s made by Hayao Miyazaki himself and goes way beyond the scope of the movie

Batgirls #7

I like this exaggerated, scratchy style with bright colours in its own right, but I also think it's a great fit for the book. The main characters are younger and more rough-and-tumble than Batman himself, so it makes sense for the artstyle to be a bit looser and more vivid to reinforce that. It's great! :pcgaming:

This looks fantastic

I know you didn’t mean it that way but there’s a part of me that cringes when a comic is described as “cartoony, but good”. Comics are supposed to be cartoony! Especially superhero comics, where a man dressed up as a bat fights an evil clown

No, I think cartoony here is the right word to use, I just think that superhero comics could stand to be drawn a lot less realistic. I don’t hugely like realism, especially in comics. I think comics lose a lot of charm when they’re drawn in a realistic style
