Kojiro posted:And Pia Guerra, who drew Y: The Last Man. I met her at a convention and she drew a little Ampersand in my hardcover, it was completely awesome. And oh, I forgot Fiona Staples!  She's one of the better sci-fi artists out there. Her species are just so diverse and varried, and I like the varration between the two races of Saga. How the horns are sprouting ram horns or antlers and the wings have dove, sparrow, and hawk wings. Every issue has something head-turing in it. I'm especially a fan of the race of Canti-like robots with Mega-man blasters.

Yeah, Guerra is a woman. I've always felt she was extraordinarily mediocre - a bland artist for a bland book, I guess. Staples on the other hand is really fantastic and her colours are especially great. And Saga is a much better book than Y.

Well I might as well put up Pia Guerra Wereas Staples complements Vaughan's space opera script in Saga with her alien designs, Guerra coplements the real-world cataclysm in Y: the Last Man with her very human and realistic designs. Nary an exagerated figure to be seen to break the immersion.

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.

That was really confusing until I figured out pages 1 and 2 are out of order. Great art though, reminds me of the earliest anime/manga styles before most of it became horrible and generic.

Ughghg! Is that Larry Stroman? He killed X-Factor for me back in the early '90s run, and made me give it up again when he took over the current series during Secret Invasion.

Waterhaul posted:This is an example of awesome art. Colours are great too. I disagree. It has it's strengths, but that face is absolutely inexcusable. There's definitely a sense of kinetic energy in the panels that's completely absent from Big 2 comics, but at the same time the draftsmanship shown here is garbage. Now of course this is stylized and that's all fine and good, but the hallmark of good stylization is the ability to maintain it consistently throughout the work. This is clearly not present here. In this preview, Carol's anatomy shifts wildly from panel to panel, her eyes grow wider apart in each page, and her red sash manages to grow 20x it's size in order to wrap around the t-rex's jaw. This artist actually reminds me a lot of Eric Canete, the difference being that Canete manages to pull off this kind of style competently. Notice how Spider-Man has crazy and exaggerated proportions, but it never feels inconsistent? It's different, but Canete clearly presents his own vision of how HIS Spider-Man looks and acts.   And on a mildly related note, If I never saw another dinosaur in superhero comics that would be just dandy. It has easily become the most played out gimmick in Marvel and DC's hand.

I think the closest we've gotten is a Fascist Orangutan that politely asked dinosaurs to do his bidding.

Pretty sure that's the fault of the colorist (assuming he didn't color his own inks). It's Stephane (boy name) by the way. Unlike a lot of comic artists, he actually draws the blouse the way it'd actually appear on a person, with the span of cloth stretched over open space, instead of painted onto the skin between the boobies: e: here's a couple more, for such a ridiculously cheesecake character design Roux actually makes her look pretty classy in a lot of his drawings:   e: vvv well sure, I picked those just because they showed how he draws Zatanna without any clutter just to limit the subject. The marionette drawing is a cover (Zatanna Vol 3. #10) and I think the middle pic is a promo piece, but he does full pages that are as crunchy and lively as anybody else's:  link Flesh Forge fucked around with this message at 03:59 on Dec 25, 2012 |

No, I thought I said what I said, that he takes a character whose design is ridiculously cheesecake and makes her look fairly classy. He's definitely not in the same category as Greg Land or Greg Horn. Speakin' of which, have some terrible pencils by the latter:  What gets me isn't how the details are rendered but how jarringly terrible the faces are and how they basically look like they were drawn later by somebody else entirely, I guess he tried to freehand the faces? e: I think what bugs me about Horn's pencil work is that I just really doubt he does very much of his work outside of Photoshop, doing straight photo manips. There are no work marks or guidelines on his pencils at all - I mean there's the page border marks and that's it. It's like he printed something he did in Photoshop and then traced that in pencil. Considering he sells those particular pencil pieces I think that might be just what he did. Most of his "paintings" really look like he just takes a photo and runs a couple filters over it and then paints a bit on top of that. There's the Power Girl pushup thing and the Catwoman milk thing earlier but really a whole lot of his work screams photo manip to me. For example:  ^^^ same problem with the photographic look below the neck and then the face not being rendered nearly so well Flesh Forge fucked around with this message at 12:22 on Dec 25, 2012 |
