Goatmask posted:Someone posted this in Cinema Discusso, and it really does show the weakness of modern colouring: I talked to Pete Doherty not long after it was re-issued, according to him the recolour is how Morrison/Quitely actually wanted it in the first place.

Adam Strange posted:One of my favourite Miller pages, from Elektra Lives Again: I always loved this page ever since I read Elektra Lives again. I'm rereading Elektra Assassin at the minute, although when this:  was your original cover and now it's: for some reason on the reprint I don't know what Marvel think. Any page of Bill Sienciewiczs is gold.

Or indeed, any point to focus on with no perspective and the lovely colouring, to name two faults.

Plus don't even think about skipping on D.R. & Quinch - Moore in his comedy primetime and Alan Davis' work in that is amazing.

Second from right is supposed to be Storm going on the costume. Guess drawing a woman who's ethnicity isn't 'generic white pornstar clone' is out of his range. Edit: Beaten. He just replaced the generic face with Tyra banks on the colour one. Goldskull fucked around with this message at 00:35 on Apr 12, 2015 |

qntm posted:This is just sacrilege. How can those new "colours" be considered an improvement? Aren't garish four-colour adventures the entire point? Did nobody actually read that little piece of text? Why not just change all the wording as well while you're at it? I'm friends with Pete Doherty who recoloured the Flex Mentallo re-issue hardback and said the same thing- he said his re-colour was how Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely actually envisioned it in the first place but had no control first time round on the colourist. They wanted it toned down like that.

mind the walrus posted:Forgive me if I don't take the word of someone claiming to have a friend speaking for two artists twenty years removed from their original creative intentions at face value. I'm telling you what he told me. Take it any way you like. I told him I don't like the re-colour either, but that's the job he was paid to do.

BiggerBoat posted:This is supposed to be good? IT looks like poo poo. Ezquerra's early Strontium Dog art is amazing. MacNeil was an acquired taste I suppose, he's good, and America is a great Dredd tale but Chopper: Song of the Surfer is by far his best work. He's also really simplified his work these days so it looks like he just doesn't bother anymore. Also laffo at Payndz posted:MacNeil and Kev Walker were easily the best of 2000AD's "fully painted" artists, but I'm guessing that the sheer amount of time and work needed to do each page is the reason they both changed their style back to coloured lineart. (Phone posting, or I'd stick up some of Walker's ABC Warriors paintwork.) Kev Walker's stuff was decent, but it doesn't hold a candle to Bisley before he thought he was a rockstar and stop trying before Slaine: The Horned God was even done, or Glenn Fabry before he got stolen away to do Preacher covers. See also the aforementioned Sean Phillips, + Duncan Fegredo/Simon Harrison/Will Simpson's painted art. I will agree with the flood of Bisley clowns that followed in though - Greg Staples, Dermot Power..there were about 3 other's that took over and were main artists through the 90's that just looked like piss poor photocopies of former glories. I'll post some examples up once I get my HD out of storage tomorrow.

Flesh Forge posted:all great poo poo but seriously what is up with that weak rear end title logo on the cover, is that a European thing or what? Maybe it's like Sandman Overture where whoever artworked the covers didn't have whatever special font they were gonna use for it, so it defaults to Myriad after the 'v'. https://imgur.com/aZlFzoX Always hated that and I've never seen anyone pull it up.

When I was talking to an ex-200AD colourist a couple of years back, he said they tended to hit the black really hard. Those Image ones look a lot like the colourist is mixing black into the flats/shading too, instead of keeping it CMY and letting the linework do all the lifting. Or they were just crap at colouring.
