fritz posted:oh it's not just Liefeld. check out that tumblr I posted a little while up. This is why I could never get into Spider-Girl. After reading Spider-Man for so long seeing the classic costume (mostly) on a teenage girl felt a little too much like taboo fetish fan-fiction.

Or is it Sputnik posted:That costume is from 1995 though I said "mostly". It's close enough to the classic red and blues. fritz posted:So you're more disturbed by the costume on a teenage girl than whatever the gently caress is wrong with her back and thigh? I wasn't commenting on that cover specifically.

That's not a superhero battle we're looking at. That's interpretive dance. Also, what is Captain Atom's chest symbol there in the first picture? It looks like a maple leaf, like he's Alpha Flight's Guardian.

It's really the eyes that make the difference. Some times she's drawn like any other woman who has the expressions of a 20-something you'd see on the street. But then other artists draw her with berserker rage eyes and you almost forget she's wearing Victoria's Secret armour.

It's not breaking the mold. I just mean she actually seems like a warrior, in contrast to what the other poster was saying about her looking like someone just [skimpily] dressing the part.

reallivedinosaur posted:I have a problem with this too. If we're to disregard the real reasons they are given muscles, Superman's alien physiology easily handwaves away a lot of things, like how the lenses of his eyes can focus unimaginably far while never being any bigger than an average human's. Maybe he doesn't need to work as hard at building muscles as we do or his body works like a regular human's up to a certain point past which Kryptonian super blood takes over and provides the rest of his strength or abilities. Spider-Man isn't necessarily all that big. There are so many variations from artists that there's no one true look to Spider-Man, either in size or definition. But the spider bite didn't just grant him magic powers; it changed his body. The same way a lanky boy's body is suddenly much more receptive to muscle building through puberty could be the same process going on after the bite. Puberty 2.0 essentially. You could also wonder why a spider bite would correct his vision.

Dacap posted:Spider-man usually is said to vaguely have some improved healing, not as extreme as wolverine but more like healing from broken bones and bruises over a few days instead of weeks. I suppose that could justify greater ease in building muscle as well as his vision self-correcting. Yeah, my point was more about how muscles are probably the most plausible change or ability for superheroes but the healing factor would help with Spider-Man's muscles, true. Funny you bring up Wolverine's healing factor though. Correcting vision isn't really "healing" in the sense that something is injured or being attacked by disease. It's just something that should be better, or it's the way things should be. Much like how Wolverine when he heals from being blown up gets his hair back just as it was as if the hair was hurt and needed fixing.

Mister Roboto posted: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. Of course it looks bizarre, but reality is allowed to look bizarre. But tracing that picture and expecting people to know what's going on or expecting it to look cool is silly. Daredevil and Spider-Man and a host of others have been doing crazy poses for a long time and usually they're ok because the artist has a handle on how to make it look good.

Solenna posted:Horrible torso rolls? Do you mean slouching while having organs? There's no way to sit like that and not have something unflattering going on in the stomach region. There's problems with the picture for sure, but realistic stomach folds in a realistic style with this is pose isn't one of them. Yeah there's nothing wrong with her body, although maybe there's an argument that drawing realistically is inherently less attractive, but the main issue for me in that panel is her face looks like a Cro-Magnon Joker.

I go with the former, considering he drew them all.

I know this sounds ridiculous to any long-time Iron Man fan, but I'm reading through the old issues and wow, I'm seriously liking George Tuska! I've been trying to place what it is about him that seems above and beyond the others before him. I thought at first it might have something to do with the colouring helping his work pop, or maybe better drafstmanship, but no, looking back at Craig's brief stint and then the later Colan issues, it's not that. Going through more Colan issues though it struck me that Colan's work made me think of pulp, or noir. To get some fan consensus I went to a random forum to see what their Top Iron Man Artist lists look like, and some guy nailed it for me in painting Colan's Iron Man issues as gothic horror and that's the perfect description. There was something about those issues of his that never quite seemed right and now with Tuska's work I can see that I was missing that comic-book pop. Colan used too much sketchy shading for my tastes. Though maybe I'm wrong and it's just Tuska's cuh-raaazy panel shapes!  He did this layout quite a bit early on and it's just like the "Screw your drat squares" school of comic book drawing. There's even a little corner that juts out into the bottom-right panel.

Mister Roboto posted:When you think about it, a lot of "city" superheroes have a bizarre ability to just toss/shoot out a rope from ground level yet somehow it turns into a bungee cord and pulls them into the air. Just imagine standing in a city street yourself, tossing a hook up to a building, and then trying to swing. You'll immediately slam your butt into the pavement. Not sure if you're including Spider-Man, since the webbing and his strength make it all very easy, but don't they get around this by using retractable grapples, ropes, etc.? Never mind the insane tech required to fit inside a slim cane, but doesn't Daredevil's billy club fire out a line and also winch him in?

Which hand? His right looks fine to me, except his thumb being maybe a bit too wide and thin. His left hand is confusing at first glance but that's because the cuff or frill of his glove looks like it's the bottom of his palm. Otherwise he has four fingers and a thumb holding the trigger and handle.
