Campbell

Why does Sup Forums hate him?

I don't. I've been fapping to his work for a last few years now.

In everything I've seen of his work, he seems to have one face/body-type.

Because he's one note. You see one, you see them all.
Also his anatomy is annoying, especially the fact that he can't draw women with their heels on the ground even if they're wearing high heels already.

Just draw the heel of the high heel shoe on the ground, Campbell...

He's an underrated writer

...

>especially the fact that he can't draw women with their heels on the ground even if they're wearing high heels already.

He does it a couple of times.

His faces are really rat-like and ugly. I don't see how anyone could enjoy him.

Sameface is sometimes especially in quick sketches/commissions but at least have it be a cute one.

>His faces are really rat-like and ugly.
> I don't see how anyone could enjoy him.

I don't see it that way. Myself and my dick have been enjoying his stuff for quite a wile now.

i used to really like his work but now looking at it...

from a smaller size, the pics look really good but close up?

The chicks look like they have t-rex arms and tiny ass feet. His proportions, while well drawn, create this weird distortion where the arms and hands look tiny in comparison to the long bodies even though the elbow and hip to hand ratio is on the correct reach.

I can't be the only one thinking that those hamster hands attached to the t-rex arms look downright wrong.

Drawing pin-up soft core porn isn't art. It's just enabling a pervert. Learn proper anatomy, Campbell.

just wanted to add, that i think the way he draws female bodies is attractive but he needs to adjust the arms/hands/feet/legs to the torso just so they all look proportional. Maybe just increasing the length of the arms, increasing the size of the feet and hands just a little bit more.

Also this:
but even Loomis had a bad case of sameface for every girl he drew.

The bodies are good, but the faces are just really horrible. They don't look like humans.

Straight human sexual attraction to the female form isn't unnatural & so it factually is not perverse.

He is painfully generic compared to superior cheesecake capable artist such as Frank Cho, Yanick Paqulette & Sara Pichelli.

Generic is the wrong word. He's simply less skilled than them. Not as good.

Says the user defending shitty porn pin-ups masquerading as art.

>The bodies are good
they really aren't

Art is subjective, user. Is there some objective qualifier that nobody but you knows about?

Illustrations of anything are a art form.

"Shitty porn pin ups" still doesn't describe or explain anything unatural/perverse.

>muh realistic proportions
Fuck off and die in a gutter along with the rest of your family! I'm so sick and tired of hearing this stupid as fuck "argument". NON of these FICTIONAL characters are real. Just go the fuck outside and leave him be.

faggots spotted.

i dont at all. JSC and Nei Ruffino are my comic art OTP

>Not liking rat faced girls

Overdone shit, sameface, shitty proportions, aggressively cheesecake.

Indulging in our favorite fallacies, are we?

Look at that torso and ask yourself why you don't.

I don't, I just think there are better artists of pinups like e bas

>Drawing pin-up soft core porn isn't art
are you saying Michelangelo isn't an artist? pls, nude art has always been something the greats did

I also like Dawn McTeigue

He draws sexy girls. These days thats a bad thing to do.

...

As an artfag, I don't hate him. He just lacks knowledge of basic human anatomy and uses cheesecake to hide it.

As an artfag, you should know that even artists with a good grasp of the fundamentals exaggerate features when drawing fantasy art and characters. All this
>muh proportions
>muh anatomy
When applied to comic book and cartoon characters is such bullshit. Do people want all art to be photorealistic? I don't fucking understand it, I would have thought Sup Forums of all places would understand this very basic concept of character design, considering most characters in comics and cartoons are exaggerated and NOT realistic. That's kind of the point. If you want to see realistic people watch live action films and look at live action porn.

there's a difference between exaggeration and being just wrong.

Stop embarrassing yourself; you like to beat off to crappy art, we get it.

what about this then, is it bad cause it's wrong?

So what is so bad about his art, exactly?

I like him a lot, I get why anatomyfags don't like him but strategic disregard of anatomy is the key to a sexy drawing. None of the really good pinup artists are completely anatomically correct, they know what to exaggerate and enhance to induce boners, it's part of the craft. He goes a little too far for some people though and I respect their opinions.

That said his art has suffered since he stopped drawing interiors though. Danger Girl is really one of the hottest comics of all time and I think he peaked shortly after that. Nowadays I think he's a bit stagnant.

I can't abide any artist with high heel syndrome

what do you have against sexy legs? legs are one of the sexiest things about a woman, an stockings are the sexiest lingerie.

that looks like something Bayonetta would throw on a torture rack.

in a good way.

High heel syndrome is when that artist can't draw draw feet outside of the position in high heels. So they never have their feet flat on the ground. It looks find in heels but everywhere else they are on on their tip toes or just laying down with their feet pointed for no reason.

I don't.

Now Ramos on the other hand... I want him to lose both hands in something involving heavy machinery.

Can't isn't the same as doesn't user. He clearly could. I mean, I am not a huge fan, but the guy can draw.

I'm a faggot because I like the female form but not drawn with a rodent face?

He cannot draw. Not even a little bit.

user I never said anything about realistic proportions.

I just said his anatomy is annoying.

There are plenty of nice looking unrealistic styles of drawing out there and Campbell's is not one of them.

>I don't see how anyone could enjoy him.
Maybe because taste in appearance is subjective? I'm not a fan of chubby/fat characters but clearly plenty of people must find landwhales sexy, I'm not going to say the artists who draw those pictures are bad artists just because what they draw isn't to my taste.

Same goes for the "sameface" thing - It gets levelled at loads of artists (pretty much everyone by Sup Forums) but that's usually down to not only the artist's individual style but their preference. They draw what they find appealing. Look at Manara, everybody cries "sameface" at him, but it's clear if you've actually looked at much of his work that he CAN draw different looking faces, he just knows what he finds appealing and sticks to that.

If you were an artist, what would you rather spend your time doing, drawing characters you want to draw and find appealing, or drawing characters you find unappealing just to prove to critics on the internet who've never drawn anything in their lives that you can?

anyone know where i can read this online?

Agreed. Also you have to take all cries of anatomy and same face around here with a grain of salt, especially the former.

I have never seen people who enjoy ratfaced girls outside of actual furry art. It's not common like the THICC meme.

Rothic Comics? I have looked and never been able to find them for download. I like them but they are very different from normal comics, very sparce of the sequential story telling style and are heavier with narration. Which works for her style cause these are myth stories.

you are an idiot. pursed lips doesn't make them look like rats

i've been looking for them too.

Get out. Michelangelo didn't draw porn. Nude people =/=porn.

Campbell only draws pin-up shlock. He's a one note hack. There is no reason to his drawing women other than titillation and sexual exploitation.

It's not the lips, it's the eye, nose, and brow area. They look like animals. Rats or squirrels or something else like that.

>enabling a pervert
>sexual exploitation
This bait isn't getting any more subtle.

It's not bait. Campbell is creatively devoid and trades in spank bank material.

Compare Campbell to Manara. Manara is a perfect case of porn being art.

campbell's art isn't porn though. There are just tits.

I bet Hughes scoffs at his work.

Campbell never makes an effort to improve his craft. It has looked the same for years, when there is clearly some issues with his anatomy and constant same-face.

Just post any campbell on /ic/ and they will REEEEEEE

Ok then. Please define for me what "enabling a pervert" and "sexual exploitation" entail, and how Campbell does these things and Manara doesn't.

Pointing out differences in the quality of someone's art is one thing, but I can't wait to find out how they're tied some bizarre idealogical standpoint.

Danger Girl is a better book than people give credit to

I have a Danger Sized Treasury edition, it's HUGE. And agreed, it's pretty fun

I know and met Campbell numerous times at NY ComicCon. he's a great guy and have given me some inspirations. He used to be the sole inspiration to me to improving my art. But at same time after drawing his style like, I started tends drift away from it mainly cause of some attributes in his style just don't work with way I want and intend to my own characters.

While I do like his work and don't think he's a terrible artist, I will say that the other anons here do bring valid points about many of his works. The distance between under-breast to the waist tend to be stretched and to me I tend not like that. Not only is it stretched, the waist tend get smaller with, making it bit off.

The multiple high heel pose feet even when no high heels used, is another quirk I notice he does a lot. Granted, High heels is actually annoying and difficult to draw imo so to constantly do that I applauded as a skill, but at same time it gets repetitive. He clearly know and can draw feet flat to ground as he does so with his male characters. Just for some reason not so on the females.

No one mention this in this thread but I know for certain he does this a lot is that he tends make almost everything with the clothing close to skin tight as possible. Even jackets. When I showed him one of my work (along with the reference pic for the clothing) to him and told him how his drawing inspired me, I like it but also gave me a correction with the jacket saying my Jacket was bit too "poofy" and I need to slim it down. Showed me a drawing example. It was neat and informative but at same time, It wasn't what I was tending go for.


His same faces aren't problem. Many artist do them and I like the cuteness youth look in the girls he draws. I don't understand nor see any "rat-face" in the as one "user" mention.


All in all, While i'm happy he inspire me to jump start and improve my own work, I don't think I want stick with his work or look and I tend to work to create my own look.
