He's definitely a generational comic book *SOMETHING*

>>150206728
Hanks haters will be sent to the FLOATING PRISON OF ETERNAL ICE.

I always liked Perez

>>150206801
Interesting Fletcher Hanks move that he does more than once is fusing the bad guys into one character, seemingly either because he ran out of space or just didn't want to draw multiple guys anymore.

Neal Adams, the GOAT.

>>150208154

Not even close. No more than mora is a generational artist.

>>150208199
You're full of it. Adams is a classic.

>>150208208
I didn’t say he wasn’t.

>>150206225
Debating if I should get his style guide

>>150208235
If you have the money? Sure. Why not?

>>150208235
I got it, I had been waiting for it to get an official release for years. Not just an amazing showcase of JLGL's art, but an important part of DC's history in the early 80's. I wish Marvel would publish their style guide from the 80's (with mostly John Romita Sr.'s art).

>>150208335
I wish they’d both go back to a house style and firmer character models.

>>150206728
He's an all-time comic something honestly

I am one of two people that don't hate JR JR's art.

>>150208384
Im the other. Even his modern work.

>>150208154
He drew my favorite version of the Bat.

>>150208384
I don't hate it. He's not as tight as he was in the late 80's/early 90's but he's still a competent storyteller. Nothing beats when he was getting inked by Al Williamson and Klaus Janson though, they understood exactly what to do with his pencils.

>>150208384
His recent stuff is just completely unprofessional

>>150208441
Better than anything mora is drawing certainly

>>150208441
Anon, that was a cover he drew recently.

>>150208428
AFAIC he's still the definitive Batman artist.

>>150208438
I liked his art in Wolverine: Enemy of the State.

OP here, i though this thread was dead and went to sleep.

>>150208493
I like JR JR as well art as well. strong line work, great at drawing action, faces, etc.

Tom Mandrake.

>>150208458
Oh wow a single character on a white void. However did he ever manage the sheer complexity of base line competency

>>150204608 (OP)
I don't like it. His art looks very gay.

>>150208860
Is Dan Mora gay?

this might be divisive but I'm gonna pick Todd because of how iconic and recognizable his style was, I love the tone of his renders and how he ignored anatomy, etc. for raw style

>>150208914
He drew art of Batman and Superman kissing but only because Chinese fujoshis kept paying him to do it at a convention

>>150209452
What kind of annoys me about Todd is that everything that made his Spider-Man popular, he got from Art Adams, but Art Adams wasn't lucky enough to be assigned a long stint drawing Spider-Man to get the acclaim Todd got.

>>150208914
No.
>>150209462
If only he did more of it. What I'd give to see his rendition of Midnighter and Apollo.

>>150208860
As opposed to Travis Moore's body of work?

>>150208914
no but >>150208860 might be

>>150204608 (OP)
I think he's overrated

I like Liam Sharp when he's not covering all his linework in Photoshop filters

>>150209509
Adams wouldn’t be able to do a monthly run for long. Hell Todd only could for a few years too. That said, it’s more than just his Spider-man look that made his art popular, his pages are just really dynamic and engaging even if he’s less skilled technically

Dan Mora is a great character artist but you can tell he doesn’t really get classic comic dynamism. He rarely uses dynamic foreshortening or really pushes his figures, they all look like basic 3D models laid out instead of using his imagination to create visuals. Something about it just lacks energy

>>150206842
Same here.

>>150204608 (OP)
Post mora drawing lois gigantic and perfectly shaped super butt

These last 17 years (from 2008 to 2025) house style guys were:

Frank Quitley
Philip Tan
Ivan Reis
Doug Manhke
Patrick Gleason
Clay Mann
Dan Mora
Jorge Jimenez
Mikel Janin
Guillem March
Mitch Gerards
Scott Kollins
Adam Kubert
Gary Frank
Jason Fabook

>Liam Sharp
I love him too, his morrison lanterns and blackstars and brave and the bold is uber kino.

I love John Romita Junior too, but his last good art was all star batman and captain america (and that was like 2014-2016)

Big John Buschema

Robert de la Torre is good

>>150212487
is he the new guy in Titancomics Conan?

>>150212571
He was the big one. They've had a few artists who, outside one, have been alright.

>>150212387
>house style
Not only are none of these artists similar enough for that to be true there hasn’t been a house style at either of the big 2 since the late 80s.

Im so goddamn sick of casuals like you using this team despite not understanding it.

>>150206842

I thought he had some weird same-mouth going.
Looks off and uncanny

>>150208384

Same, hes THE spider-man artist of my childhood. I started reading with his stuff in mid 90s

>>150213361
Bagley was better

>>150213243
There are general trends. In the early 90s, most Marvel artists were aping Jim Lee or Todd McFarlane. In the mid 90s through the early 00s, it was Joe Mad-adjacent. After the early 00s, Bryan Hitch and other more detailed, more nearly realistic styles. Just look at 90s Bagley, where he was copying Todd and 00s Bagley where he was copying Bryan.
Though you're right that a lot of those artists are far too different to lump them all as "house style" guys.

>>150208384
I think digital/modern coloring makes his style look a lot worse

>>150213918
I never claimed there weren’t trends. But anyone claiming there was a house style at either of the big anytime after the late 80s is retarded.

>>150214512
Either of the big 2*

>>150204608 (OP)
Love his art

>>150215091
why?

I like Mignola's hellboy a lot but I always like seeing his non Hellboy work

>>150208384
JR JR was hard carried by his father's inks. Once Janson became his inker his art immediately went to shit, especially over the last 20 years as he's become an old man whose own penciling skills are nowhere near what they were in the '80s.

>>150208914
No but like a lot of artists for current DC he draws, either intentionally or because it's what the company wants, in a way that's meant to appeal to fujos and gay men.

>>150204608 (OP)
meh

>>150211191
What kind of idiot just touches Kirby Dots?
The Krackle is one of nature's biggest red flags.

>>150210998
cute

>>150216480
>in a way that's meant to appeal to fujos and gay men.
Not like he's drawn beefcakes or outright gay stuff. Not in the comics he's worked on at least.

>>150216480
>If I post girls, people say 'the same face' or 'he only draws attractive girls'.
>If guys are posted, people say he is pandering to gays or shippers.
I think it's a testament to how good of a character artist he really is. He makes the most aesthetically pleasing people, and his art just oozes a desire to ship

>>150209617
He hasn't done convention commissions ever since
Either he's too busy or DC told him to knock it off

>>150220068
10/10 would lay my head on those thighs..

Awesome bait, first let him draw a different face and then we`ll talk

>>150220068
>the most aesthetically pleasing people

yeah the exact same one with different costumes also let me guess manga fan?

>>150211191
This art is fucking terrible

>>150223224
Are you saying that >>150220068 and >>150204608 (OP) have the same face?

>>150224534
Are you saying they dont?

>>150224610
Interesting. I know face blindness can be seen in some neurodivergent populations, so i don't want to come off as ablest. But thank you for your input!

Whatever happened to Redondo? He was hot new thing and then everyone forgot about him.

>>150204608 (OP)
We need to go back to doing everything by hand. Digital production techniques have ruined the look of comics.

>>150209509
I think only some of the sketches and art he did for Longshot is the only shit I have ever enjoyed in regards to Art Adams and his art. Everything else looks flat and lame. The faces are proto-Liefeld and that pic itself looks bad from how Spidey and She-Hulk look with their Liefeld anatomy.
Like I don't care about too much with stylization and how women would bend their backs like that in the 90's in comic art but I dunno it still feels off.
I don't know how influential he is but I dunno he just doesn't appeal to me.

>>150208384
Before he got lazy, he was actually really good.

>>150209452
>he ignored anatomy, etc. for raw style

That's not a good thing.

>>150226139
He also didn't "ignore" anything. He just straight up couldn't draw.

>>150215494
I think his work in Corum is my favorite.

>>150226139
nah fuck the whole "characters should have realistic poses and proportions" argument, I want them to hit badass or sexy poses how much ever they want if it accentuates the character, and Todd understood that

>>150223456
blame digital coloring.

>>150229959
It has nothing to do with the coloring. The linework is fucking chicken scratch and the composition is fucking childish. It’s rushed, lazy, ugly art.
