Only a matter of time before the f/a/ggots come in the thread. Look for the posts done by people who claim to be art experts.

I've always hated his work. Ever since I saw that bit on Toonami.

I don't like Ross' current work, his style just doesn't really fit modern costumes.
>>
>>82583603
Well yeah, all he basically does is redraw photos he took of cosplayers.

tracing is different then using a reference, Greg Land.

Are people here really insinuating that artists shouldn't use references?
>>
>I will never be able to draw like this
Fuck me pham
>>
>>82583505
I find it hard to objectively rank artists. Ross is fucking amazing, though. His art is so good I feel like it doesn't belong it comic books. Like, it's ruined by having these massive, garish, white speech bubbles plastered all over it.
>>
>>82583505
>muh realism means he's the best artist
It looks nice but he's not the best.
The greatest comic book artist was Jack Kirby.

>>82583505
Moebius

>>82584412
Of course not.
But there's a difference between "learning from references, and using references to inspire and perfect active poses of characters" and "perfectly immitate a cosplayer in a static pose and place it in situations".

Good artists do more than simply immitate being a camera.
>>
>>82584446
His drawing skill isn't all that impressive.

But my fucking God, hos coloring is out of this world amazing.

And I'm 100% serious.

I'm glad we agree

Looks like he bought an entire isle of Turtle Wax.

Looks like he walked through the car wash on Deluxe 100 times.

Looks like he fought a villain named Dr FloorBuffer.
>>
>>82583505
Ross art doesn't work for comics. He should stick to making pretty covers. Never been a fan.
>>
I love Ross and I love Marvel but for some reason the two rarely seem to work as well as his DC stuff
Maybe because DC designs just work better with real spandex whereas Marvel characters were mostly designed by Kirby and just not built to the same aesthetic? I dunno but with few exceptions Marvel characters look weird in Ross's style but the entire DC pantheon looks great

Nah, look closely at Iron Man's mask...
>>
>>82584741
I think he makes Marvel characters too shiny, especially in the OP pic
>>
>>82583854
there's literally nothing wrong with that

>using a reference is the same thing as tracing
Non artfags actually believe this.

Does Iron Man have a mustache?

he used to

he had a mullet once as well
