Long time ago I liked some fb page called "Classic Marvel Comics Fine Art". Today they posted something by Greg Land. >pic related I commented saying "Greg Land work on a page called FINE ART... seriously?" and promptly got blocked from the page XD
Anyway it got me wondering, who are your worst/most hated comic book artists?
For me it's Land, this pic isn't even his worst stuff as most probably know. He traces the same image so many times it gets distracting from the story. Some times I'm wondering if I've already read a page but no, Ol' Greg is just using the same artwork again. All the women he draws have the same face because he uses pics from the same model I guess and none of them seem to have hips. Why does this hack keep getting work?
Austin Adams
Land is easily the worst, but ultimately it comes down to taste. I've never gotten why people love Bachalo so much, but he's fairly popular and keeps getting work.
Hunter Morales
Liefeld annoys me. Not that's he's bad it's just that his stuff is so exaggerated it looks stupid.
Tyler Long
>Land is easily the worst Absurd, yes the tracing is bad but what matters is the end result & Liefeld & some of the recent Sjw artist are much worse.
Bentley Green
John Romita Jr. Nothing gets as bad as this guy, It's like he's a 5th grader trying to copy what he sees in comic books, but somehow he consistently gets work.
Isaiah Edwards
Found the pleb. Romita is great
Isaac Lewis
Deodato and Janin are tied for "shitty 3D models used for the actual art" category
Julian Williams
Deodato used to be good like most of his Dark Avengers work but yeah it's become painful how fucking digitally half assed his work is. And I say that as someone who likes digital painters like Crain & Sejic.
Austin Perry
you know nothing about about comic art, stop posting. there's literally hundreds if not thousands of professional artists who are worst.
Jack Myers
Yeah, and Justice League Dark was unreadable for the art as well as writing
Hunter Ross
Ramos' work is insulting to look at
Henry Wilson
Michael Gaydos's art looks like it was chiseled by a retarded caveman.
Jose Perry
That squirrel girl artist mid2000s Ramos whoever drew this
Blake Reed
yeah I was told once "there's no such thing as bad art,, just art styles you don't like"
Bentley Baker
I enjoy Erica Henderson, it fits Squirrel Girl. It wouldn't work on Punisher or some shit, but it does what it needs to.
Gabriel Robinson
Who ever drew America these past few issues. I get not wanting house style but damn get a good style.
Kayden Parker
Deodato's definitely the worst
Nathaniel King
Ramon Villalobos is the saving grace of that comic.
Josiah Mitchell
Dose FASD eyes on Carol. :P
Nathaniel Parker
Still looks ugly as shit. Doesnt now how body works and the faces are just fucking terrible.
David Jones
>all his drawing videos in instagram are about going full autistic with crosshatching and the dot brush never shows anything else because he probably traces the poser models i don't know how that nigga even does convention sketches
Michael Peterson
Jim Lee
Sebastian Peterson
>shitting on Caldwell Neck yourself, famalam.
Levi Murphy
I think it's got a nice cartoony feel to it.
I was excited for him on Champions until I saw the writing. Yeesh.
Noah Green
His Carol is garbage. Get off his dick.
Joshua Miller
>he draws ONE (1) character in a way thirsty virgins don't like >that means he's bad I don't even think I have to explain why you're a moron, you did a fine enough job yourself.
Mason Lewis
So are all of his fans this sensitive, or are you just a particularly easily-butthurt bitch?
Andrew Bell
Nowadays Deodato manages to be even worse than Land.
Connor Torres
This. His art legitimately looks like what I drew in elementary school.
Blake Lopez
SO great....
Luis Green
Larry Stroman
Jace Diaz
...
Leo Baker
>think the faces are bad >look at the bodies in the bottom panel
what the fuck
William Cruz
Another answer would be Howard Chaykin with modern digital coloring, but I don't have an example with me
John Robinson
Jesus Christ nobody posted this yet? I win. You're all too slow or blocked it from your memories.
Michael Torres
Igor Kordey nearly ruined New X-men for me. Shame considering the times where he's not blatantly phoning it in range from pretty ok to legitimately good.
Ethan Scott
Steve Ditko, no doubt.
Wyatt Rivera
The worst thing is that Land is a good artist, I've seen thing he drew from sketch and they are good, I don't get why he does that shit, is he just lazy? The again, I'm a decent artist and some times I had drawing so I use heavy reference to come up with things, maybe it's something like that. That Reed face is pathetic, not even trying.
Also the worst offender, besides obvious Liefeld, are John Romita Jr and Frank Miller, which some cunts on Sup Forums INSIST on defending as patrician taste, or saying they were once GOAT, when they were always mediocre at best and absolutely disgusting at worst. They have no notion of basic principles in art and they seem to have no interest in learning. Ramos is also garbage, but not as bad. And it's not about being "stylistic", he can't draw. Putting an eye on the right place and another on the forehead isn't an stylistic choice.
Logan Miller
I have never read patsy walker, not even look the interior besides that page that was posted in another thread
Dylan Gomez
Oh wait, maybe I mean Deodato? Fuck, I can't separate between them. I know one of them is good, but chooses to be a low piece of shit.
Parker Ward
JRJR and Miller are patrician taste.
Christopher Long
I think It only grew on me during his time on spider-man
Sebastian Gray
>tfw all of the artists in the thread save for maybe Liefeld are better than pretty much every manga artist except for that guy who draws Berserk and a small handful of others
Aaron Torres
I wonder what Land traced for this one...
Blake Butler
What's with long-time artists simplifying their art style over the years? Frank Miller used to be god-tier, but after 2000s he couldn't even be bothered to get basic anatomy right.
James Hughes
>XD Fuck off. Anyway, the worst that I can currently think of is the one doing the Squirrel Girl comic.
Asher Williams
he has his highs and lows
Isaiah Lopez
He was never god tier, he was ok and then he got senile.
Mason Anderson
That's a high? Christ...
Colton Murphy
the man with no taste
Brayden Young
yes, user, that is a very well-constructed page, and the art is both expressive and dynamic
Michael Edwards
It's not that dynamic but it is well paced and well constructed, but it's still drawn like shit, his face simply changes completely, the last panels have a completely different facial structure. Also I hate 90's artists and their dirty ass linework, Crosshatching literally everywhere when it isn't even needed.
I think what you people mistake earlier Miller and Romitta JR for good art is good panel composition, which seems to be the only thing they are good at. That's arranging, that's part of the art but it's not artwork. I bet you also say Alex Ross is a bad artist, which would once again mistaking the artwork for panel arrangement, because Ross is an incredible artist but awfully boring and stiff in his panels.
Camden Cruz
is this a different arcade from the one that fucked up the teenagers?
Ayden Howard
He admits that he took too much simultaneous work and in effect fucked up most of it.
Parker Gonzalez
...
Dylan Brown
I legitimately hate Land's work more than Liefeld's. At least Rob draws from his imagination at least some of the time.
Brody Foster
Larroca
Asher Ortiz
I'm not sure if you are bait or just don't know what you talk about.
David Lewis
Out of all the great manga you could use (Blade) you post that weak shit? C'mon.
Blake Johnson
>I'm a decent artist
Yet not decent enough yet to see the good qualities in JRJR and Miller's earlier work...
Jayden Turner
That's just not as great as you think it is. It's very basic negative blocking. It's certainly not bad, but it's no Bernie Wrightson.
Henry Jones
Pretty detailed and has good character acting.
Adam Myers
Meant for Als what Blade? Of the Immortal?
Nathan Clark
Yes.
Nathaniel Morgan
Some serious tracing right there
Jeremiah Butler
>Miller's earlier work I think he's still decent, though I have a soft spot for loose, sketchy art styles.
Bentley Martin
question: anatomy, how come one artist can get away with being liberal with it while the other can't?
note: picture quality isn't the issue.
Ian Gray
They are both terrible and you'll find that anime in general is a huge "no-no" in any artistic learning circles.
Cooper Torres
You chose a bad picture for comparison, that's a video game render. Anyway, I'm not sure if Araki's wonky anatomy/perspective is intentional or not, but I love the way he draws, especially nowadays. There's no one else like him.
Eli Long
Are you seriously shitting on Ben Caldwell just because he drew Carol butch?
Jeremiah Watson
>Land >Ramos >Deodato >Gaydos >Villalobos
The fucking WORST
Leo Lewis
I always liked his Iron Man work the best.
There is a boxiness aspect to his art that seems to lend well to IM's armor and looks kinda... bloated on the humans. And he tends to show imposing poses better than in-motion action. I did *not* like him on Spidey at all.
Jayden Robinson
Javier Rodriguez is fantastic you pleb.
Jose King
howard chaykin and 95% of his contemporaries are shit with digital coloring
Cameron Morris
It's a problem with all Star Wars books
Justin Morgan
No, the same guy.
Mason Richardson
Why?
Benjamin Fisher
Jack Kirby. Everyone looks like they have Downs.
Nolan Evans
Jojo is so over the top that the fucked anatomy actually works to it's advantage Araki also improved quite a bit over the years
