"Not everyone has to draw photo-re...@Anonymous<br />"Not everyone has to draw photo-realistically like Alex Ross",<br />however, in order to be able to stylize, an artist HAS TO study anatomy and realistic drawing via construction FIRST. It's a common tendency among beginning critics and artists to mistake misshaped bodies for stylization. This comic's artwork is horrendous. If it was a style thing we would have consistency.<br /><br />For example, compare this to Batman TAS(last season), Superman TAS, One Piece or even the Power Puff Girls: The artists there clearly have a conception of consistent anatomy, if highly stylized.<br /><br />Here it never really fits: legs, torsos, hands, heads and faces all change their shape from issue to issue, sometimes from page to page, even from panel to panel. On one cover "Shtarchild" clearly seems lean and athletic, but in a following issue he is jacked up like Hulk Hogan in his prime, without any passage of time given that would allow for such a change. And then he changes right back in this issue.<br /><br />Yes, not everyone has to draw like Alex Ross(Most can't, frankly) however it is NEVER too much to ask for consistency, or at least for improvement with each passing issue, when talking about an amateur.Felix Brunschedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17155416439869033629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-39336852982394652582014-04-10T15:12:28.198-05:002014-04-10T15:12:28.198-05:00@ Anonymous(whicheverone) said...
