The Statue of Liberty has been blown up several times in the lore of Judge Dredd, along with most of the rest of the city (including the giant Judge statue behind it, "The Statue of Judgement"). Anyway since nobody mentioned it, should probably mention both of those pics are from the finale of "Judge Dredd: America" and the artist is Colin MacNeil.

Joker must secretly be a telepath. He can mind control criminals into following him on the daftest of schemes. This is the only reason I can think of to justify how easily Heath Ledger was able to subvert every gangster and crooked cop he came across.

Well, he mentioned ruining lives. Besides, of course Joker doesn't steal people's savings, he's not a monster.  Arkham Asylum: Living Hell #1, Ryan Sook. Love that monobrow.

He is just really really really adapt at manipulation. In the same movie he managed to get a cop to beat him up so he could take advantage of the situation (want me to tell you which one of your friends were cowards when they died) and getting Harvey to go against everything he stood against (order) with a few words. Joker can read people and find their soft spots. Why he is scary. Same in the comics.

Rather than continue a Joker derail lets all post some art. Joe Kubert passed away yesterday and is the definition of a legend who was posting stunning stuff up to his death at 85.

I'm on a bit of a fantasy kick here going through my library so check out these kickass pages. Charles Vess whips up this awesome double page spread in Jeff Smith's Rose. The use of colors and movement here make it one of my favorite splash pages ever. Dear Mr. Vess: how about offering prints of something other than Stardust, huh?  Here's a page from Conquering Armies, an old piece that ran in Heavy Metal. The ink work is stupidly good.  David T. Wenzel pumped out an illustrated The Hobbit in 1990 and it's loving gorgeous. The guy has a great, cartoony style that's like a more realistic Disney in their heyday. It's probably my favorite Tolkien related art. Sorry Howe, Lee, and Hildebrandt brothers. When I think of Middle-Earth, Wenzel's colorful-yet-striking depictions are the first to pop up.  Gandalf's such an rear end in a top hat to Bilbo.  The Great Goblin and his clan look like monsters out of The Dark Crystal or something. This scene was my favorite in the book as a kid and seeing it drawn in full glory gave me a huge boner. One of the goblins (or orcs, whatever Tolkien) looks like he's air guitaring!  loving Smaug, man. I love dragons. They're like big puppy dogs. Big, scaly, irritable, stubborn, voracious, greedy, fire-breathing puppy dogs!

I bought an awful lot of his stuff back in the 1970s and I'm glad he was able to stay relevant for so long. I always felt that his stuff and Steve Ditko's were very good examples of style without ugly distortion.

I still have my copy, parents gave it to me as a child. It is a really beautiful book and probably still defines my imagination of Tolkein's world more than the movies.

Oh god this panel. The sad part is that it could have actually been cool and interesting, but it's just so monumentally hosed up in it's exectution that the good composition and lighting is ruined. Here's a thing, quickly erased some of that extraneous detail and blurred the poo poo out of most of it. If you can't see the face and the horrible torso rolls you can almost get an appreciation of what it might have been:

Like, if the artist could convince me they did it intentionally I would think they were a genius. She's trying to be seductive, but given how insane and creepy the situation is, it's impossible to pull it off without looking terrifying. It makes me think of the grotesque detail shots they would use in cartoons like Ren and Stimpy and Spongebob that someone mentioned earlier.

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.

Lobok posted: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. Her face is definitely the worst, but a chick as thin as Emma is not going to look like that even while slouched, it's not realistic at all. I'm (a bit) fatter than her and I just tried it and got a single unimpressive crease, not four or whatever the hell that is. The exaggeration of 'real' details like fat creases and the wrinkles around her eyebrows is what makes her look weirdly goblin like, like her skin is sloughing off. The wrinkles are not supported by her posture or the actual expression she has. Nor would there ever be a crease above her breasts, unless she has some goddawful implants. Her fingers have the fleshless, knuckly look of an ancient crones and it looks like she has axe wounds on top of both knees. there should not be shadows that deep there when they're fully bent like that. In fact, she's in in deep shadow, there should be little to no shading at all. These things would not stand out (as badly) in a fully-rendered painting, but we're talking comic style here. To try this out is insanity, and resulted in him not having time to do anything properly. If it were deliberate I'd be like 'oh yeah great', but seriously I doubt it is given how literally everything else looks in that book. Did he suddenly turn comix for this one panel? Looks like he just flipped out halfway through doing this and tried to make it as horrifying as possible. Which... you know, she's meant to be hot or something, right? We certainly hear about that enough. Springly fucked around with this message at 09:02 on Aug 18, 2012 |

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.

Let's just go with the completely obvious explanation: the artist lightboxed it from porn, and the woman in the original picture did have awful implants.
