what's /co/'s favorite comic artwork?
Mine: DC's kingdom Come
to me, while it isn't as visually appealing as some more recent artists, I do love Mike Zeck's work in kraven's last hunt and the constant rain
i just like that old school artwork
Ben Templesmith
Sets the perfect mood for crazy Vampire shit
Anything from this
Clayton Crain's carnage USA art was pretty sweet
>>83398530
Darwyn Cooke's art suffers from sameface in terms of general outline and structure of his faces, but one thing I noticed while re-reading New Frontier is that NO ONE in any of his group scenes will have the same expression. He sketches an impressive amount of emotion and implied reaction in his characters in every panel and it makes it really fascinating to take your time reading through it and looking at everyone.
here's the villains
>>83398266
>>83398709
nobody will ever convince me this is good comics art. it just doesnt look right at all.
>>83398773
well, it kinda hits me in some kind of personal level. the somewhat dark tone really makes it come alive.

>Morrison is Captain Cold in New Frontier
>but he's also Brainiac in Justice
EXPLAIN THIS WIZARDRY
>>83398266
I've really been digging the art from the new Moon Knight.
>>83398773
How the fuck is it not good. Its good incredibly rendered art... period nothing else matters.
You want bright silly shit, that's all good but that is just your personal preference, that doesn't make Ross incompetent.
>>83398904
Same anon
>>83398419
Zeck's body of work isn't too large, but it's all great. Punisher, Captain America, and Master of Kung Fu are all worth tracking down

More Alex Ross art.
>>83399068

Agreed, I hate looking at Ross. It's just soulless technical perfection like a machine drew it

i never said it was poorly made or 'incompetent'
i also didnt say i like 'bright silly shit'
i said it wasnt good for a medium like comic books.
>>83399152
>>83399159
The only reason someone would think It doesn't fit comics is if they don't like comics to be realistic. Hence the bright silly shit conclusion.
>>83398709
>>83398266
Neither of these are Kingdom Come though.
>>83399274
This
They're from the book he did called Justice
He also has done some Anthrax album covers
Grant Morrison had some crazy surrealist ideas for Doom Patrol, but it was mainly Richard Case who actually decided to try to make art for this stuff.
>>83398530
I was going to original post this since it was the first thing that came to my mind.
>>83398773
Ross' style isn't something that will work in every type of comic book story that's for sure. But for Kingdom Come, his "everything looks 'iconic' and epic" art works perfectly considering the context of the story. Otherwise I would agree that Alex Ross' art looks better when everyone's just posing rather than in action.
>>83399216
>stylized cant be dark
I dont like how all Ross stuff looks like it has a bright ass spotlight pointed right at it, too washed out and glaring, a theater tech would get canned for allowing a stage to be lit like that.
>Ross
>good
Fucking plebs. Ross is bar none the shittiest artist to get overwhelming praise by the comics community.
>>83398266
>>83398773
Yeah, I fucking hate it.
>>83399489
Huh.

Not at all, just shows he can spend a lot of time drawing boring looking comic pages
>>83398266
Ross's hyper-realism is fun to look at for a bit, but it becomes nauseating after a while.
In short IMO, his covers are god-teir, his actual work is meh.
This is perfection
>>83401319
fuck off

Holy shit, sauce?

Rai or its spin off event 4001AD with art by Clayton Crain.

Ross reminds me of the Image founders. His comic work seems more dedicated to making impressive splash pages and spreads than decent storytelling. I know he's a big fan of George Perez, but Perez isn't just about cluttering pages with as many characters and detail as he can
>>83403034
1.) Ross has more talent in his pinky then Liefeld, Lee, Booth & Mcfarlane have collectively.
2.) There is nothing lacking in Ross's storytelling
3.) Perez did a fuck ton of his own cluttering and detail, have you seen Avengers/JLA?
4.) Nothing wrong with fuck tons of detail. Some of us buy comics for it.
>>83403200
I think Rob Liefled is a better comic artist than Ross, technical skills aside
>>83403262
Is there a comic where Liefeld demonstrates some kind of genius paneling or brilliant storytelling? The handful of issues I've read with him on art featured neither.
>>83403262
>I think Rob Liefled is a better comic artist than Ross
You are possibly the single most delusional person in history.
Any singe Ross image in this thread is better then the collective panels, spreads & covers that Liefeld has ever touched a utensil too.
Fuck you!

Simon Bisley and the mutant offspring Greg Staples and Siku. Its the best thing about the 90's

I like Ross covers, generally. I'd agree his style isn't good for everything, for covers, for example, he often has the Trinity as very old people and it would never have cut it for other than say an anniversary variant for any new 52 trinity related book.
>>83398530
>>83398530
I just re-read this as well, and it does have a lot of inventiveness and gutter/imagination involvement that I can't remember in any other recent trade I've read in the last six months, just off the top of my head. Yes, some of the guys and girls can have similar facial structure. Lois was somewhat hard to tell from Carol or Iris, excepting different hairstyles, and likewise, his guys had a sameness for the g-men, etc. The fight scenes before Barry gets there, it would have been hard to tell some of the guys apart or who they were in relation to the rest of the book even if they had already appeared (e.g. Hal or Ace).
>>83401023
I know a many people didn't like it, but I really loved Jae Lee's work on Batman/Superman's first set of issues that were collected in Crossed Worlds.
I also thought Mikel Janin did really great work on Justice League Dark and Grayson.
>>83398266
>>83398530
Dem Wondy thighs.
>>83398266
But that's not from Kingdom Come. It's Alex Ross but it's not Kingdom Come
>>83398477
I absolutely loved his art in Gotham By Midnight. Too bad he drew it just for the first few issues.
Personally, I really love Kelley Jones' art. Him and Sean Phillips.
Alex Ross is a great artist, but not a terribly good comic book artist. His stuff lacks motion big time.
