Mr Wind Up Bird posted:I guess I came off kind of harsh on cape book artists but I was just trying to showcase some other unique talents. Cape books can have amazing art, and often do. Frank Quietly is responsible for my all time favorite comics, all of which are superhero books. I break out my New Teen Titans archive editions and flip though them just to look at George Perez's art. I actually asked Conner about this last year at SDCC because she had just come off of Powergirl and basically had nothing else on her plate. She said something along the lines of not having time to do 22 pages of interiors and felt it was better if she instead just did covers. It's unfortunate because the first 12 issues of Powergirl are some shining examples of awesome vibrant fun art you'll find these days. Also James Stokoe always reminds me of a more detailed Skottie Young.

HA! I was reading that issue just this morning and saw that panel. I usually don't have a great eye for horrible art but even I know Psylocke must have broken her spine in a couple places for her limbs to act that way.

I'm agree, I'm not saying the whole issue is bad, but that panel really stuck out as not good at all. I think her left leg is a little too out there weird to have sprung her into the air from any surface.

That's not Dave Johnson. Not denigrating Dave Johnson as he is a FANTASTIC cover artist. That's actually Viktor Kalvachev. All the covers for Blue Estate have been phenomenal.

Under the vegetable posted:I never understand this. Even with Greg Land and stuff. Every time, it's easier for me to just draw a loving face than meticulously search through google image results trying to find the perfect porn girl's face to trace over or whatever. How much time do these tracer guys even spend in a day working? It's insane. It would take like, five minutes, maybe, to come up with a face and get it inked, but they have to be spending hours googling, that's just not efficient cheating/hack work Greg Land has like maybe 10 faces and expressions. I'm sure he has a reference drawer to fit he goes to to fit his needs and in the end, it actually does end up being faster because of this.

So many wasted hours because I couldn't just swing anywhere.

I'm a huge fan of Rebakah Isaacs but maybe it's because I just love what Brian Wood did with DV8 recently and she was on art. She's also currently doing Angel & Faith.

Chaykin really only does well when he's doing 50's/60's Americana. Everything else is so far out of his style that it looks bad and he should feel bad for doing it. But like Waterhaul said, you have people who love his Americana style and for some reason believe that transfers well to the major project they're currently doing. Instead of looking good, it looks bad and really throws off the flow of otherwise good books.

Sean Phillips didn't really put much effort into Marvel Zombies I noticed. Some pages are really good, some pages are just awful but there's no consistency. He's much better in small pulpy panels with Brubaker.

I have two commissions from Rafael Albuquerque and a page from American Vampire. The man does amazing loving work and I wish he did more. His wash skills are loving incredible. I dropped Animal Man midway through the rotworld bullshit and hearing Albuquerque was coming on it immediately put it back at my attention.

Campbell's a local legend here. I die a little every time I realize the head shot sketch I have of his is worth more than probably any page from Ryan Kelly I own. I hate admitting it, but he's the only artist's work I collect purely for possible investment potential.

Shitshow posted:I understand people gushing over Alex Ross' work, but his interiors have always bothered me for this reason. Also, I find his interiors very hard on my eyes: there is often no visual hierarchy established in the lines or colors, so all of the elements seem to be fighting for attention at once. I've not been back into comics for quite a year now, and his work was the first that I noticed this. Ross works better as a "moment in time" artist, hence his cover work always being better than interiors. He's good at making great shots that are meant to be hung up on a wall or advertising something. However, comics aren't just covers. The second he has to do interiors, his "still life" style doesn't translate. When you add word balloons and have panels bleeding into each other to exhibit motion, his style looks terrible. For as amazing as it is, Kingdom Come looks like a bunch of paintings with word balloons. There's a number of other artists that are similar in that they're much better cover artists than interior artists simply because they're much better at painting a moment than drawing a scene.

Gamora's left polearm weapon looks to be coming out of Star Lord's knee. It creates a weird perspective/optical illusion where if you look at the picture, she looks normal size but if you focus in on that she looks like she's supposed to be tiny as poo poo.

Hakkesshu posted:I've been going through some old cosmic Marvel stuff and got to a gem I had never heard of by the name of Cyberspace 3000 It's amazing how cosmic has been the dumping ground of untested and poor Marvel artists for years. Sometimes you get art that's utterly breathtaking but most times it's meh at best and honestly, it never even really changed until Bendis took over Guardians. Re-reading the recent amazing overall cosmic storyline (just before Annihilation through Thanos Imperative) opened my eyes to how bad some of this art can be. If there's one place to put great artists it should be the breathtaking landscapes of space, but....here we are.
