Is that supposed to be part of a MadTV illustration?

How does he not realize the shading makes it look so much uglier? Especially below the nose

He's doing that thing all beginner artist do where they decide to shade in nearly fucking everything because they haven't developed an actual style yet, so shading is a way of compensating till they do develop a style

>getting paid by Marvel to do last minute deviantArt tier scribbles

god i wish that were me

...

Is this a real page? I refuse to believe.

It is a real page.
I don't blame the artist. It was a fill-in told to mimic another artist's style, and the dumb bitch writing it handed in their work at the last second.
If you were told to draw a shit comic like a retard and were given half the time to do it in than a normal artist, you wouldn't be pumping out quality either.

So this is the 2D equivalent of a CGI monstrosity.

You know, it's sad that fucking Chris Chan can draw better than an actual "artist" in the comic industry.

I raise Ken Penders for someone so cringey, I feel that SEGA doesn't wanna talk about him.

I can see several things wrong with this image. 1.the whites of the eyes are separated.
2.the eyes themselves are too detailed.
3.sonics legs look like a humans.
4.the shading is fucked.
5.sonics face looks like a dudes.
6. everything else.

Not only he's an awful artist, but an autistic edgelord too.

Whoever it is that gave us The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl

Nat's not good at comics anyway and her final work would have just been a cleaner version of the same thing.

On the other hand, yeah, fill in artists shouldn't be scrutinized; they're making up for someone who bungled so bad their pages don't exist.

Any autistic child can draw a decent Sonic. Why can't a "professional" comic book artist do the same?

Why the fuck would anybody working for Sega bring up a weirdo fan artist?

Doesn't matter how many kiddles he's diddled, he isnt their problem.

Yeah, I remember finding out that the artist from " those" issues of New X-Men is actually good. He was just working on tight fill-in schedule, I think he claimed he knocked out one issue in just a weekend. Shit happens when the company's policy is " this ships no matter what it looks like"

1. Ken's a "writer" not an artist. Once upon a time he was actually a pretty skilled inker, but that phase is long past.

2. He's actually regressed because he rarely draws and doesn't care about Sonic. He never learned the fundamentals and just regurgitates symbols, which gets worse when he has no reference at hand. He tries to cover this up with "rendering" which just makes it worse.

Marvel sells this in Japan with a different artist doing the cover, Japanese readers were pissed about it on twitter.

I'm like 99% sure the concept of a cover artist doesn't exist to them, it was basically a con as far as they were concerned.

>Marvel sells this in Japan
Japan gets western comics?
If they do, I bet they don't sell for shit. The westaboo market is very niche there.

me
im the worst comic artist

Post said cover

This looks like a Squidward painting.

Cover artists being different is, indeed, generally seen as deceitful there. I mean they kind of are over here too, but we just accept it because they're pinup artists and the covers tend to be WAY beyond the realm of possibility for interiors.

In SG's case, however, it absolutely was deceitful. The original books had covers by the interior artist and Marvel purposefully commissioned covers that just looked like a standard manga cover (ie, an artist's standard output touched up). Compound this with how few Marvel imports Japan even gets, and...

They only sell big titles, and since they aren't tanko size sales are modest.

This guy still hasn't grown up? Fuck, I remember when his RL image and penis was spammed in chat rooms. That was over 15 years ago.

...

...

I'd feel bamboozled too

>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES over Sega using Echidnas in any way that isn't Knuckles
>hey guys I'm doing Sonic sketches WOOOO

I hope Sega manages to financially ruin this man.

Does Japan also get America?

Erica Henderson is one of the biggest examples of nepotism I can think of. Her father was this guy:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._J._Henderson

And she got her job at Marvel solely because Ryan North requested her when he got the Squirrel Girl job. From there she's done art for Archie and somehow continues to get work despite her incompetence being on display every month. At least with someone like Liefeld it's easy to see how his art, back in the late '80s and early '90s would've been seen as new and exciting despite the technical incompetence but Henderson doesn't even have that.

He was officially employed in Sonic comics for a good while.

Gwenpool and Ms. Marvel got alternate covers too. No clue who did Ms. Marvel's but I'm fairly certain Gurihiru did Gwenpool's.

>officially employed in Sonic comics
What

I find that cover/interior disparity odd considering the number of hentai doujins that feature a decent artist doing only cover and 1-2 sketch pages while a majority of the book is some asshole who can't draw.

But, then again, comparing major published releases to barely-copyright-legal porn isn't fair.

Is that sum Yamashita?

I need the tweets. I knew they'd be pissed, but I need proof.

Tokyopop did this shit with the Labyrinth manga and it still pisses me off to this day.

...

japan gets all sorts of comics from all places, although in very small quantities.
did you know they also get Blacksad too?

Here is the thread, feel free to translate any tweets that stand out if you can

twitter.com/songen_4/status/937314954876674049

The artist made bee and puppy cat.

Henderson's art is the reason I haven't read the first arc of Jughead.

Liefeld's art at least has a charm to it.

This is the type of so awful that crosses over into incredible

>He doesn't know about the allegations

>He was officially employed in Sonic comics for a good while.
What? Tell me more user

This is heavy metal tier

I was talking specifically about Marvel/DC, my bad.

Different guy but can I get a refresher on Psyguy? It's been a couple a years since I last read about it.

>I'm reminded this shit exists
The rage I still feel

Big titles, and somehow fucking Hitman of all things

This was the guy who also did the MGS comic and the graphics for Peace Walker.

Nemesis is 2000AD actually. But the same writer as Requiem Chevalier Vampire which is Heavy Metal as shit.

That doesn't look to bad.

They were talking about Psyguy, not Penders, you retarded fucking tripfag

Oh I know he's a pedo and such but the fact he is still doing the whole Psyguy act is disturbing.

>Nemesis the Warlock
Quads confirm.

You guys though Season 5 was bad?
Take a look at this shit.

>Belongs in the trash

They sell mostly trade and not individual issue, right?

>Retard manchild starts Sonic hub site back when people don't really have great search engines, the wild West period of the net.
>Bullies children.
>Molests little girl's.
>Is retarded.
>Once all the socially awkward teens finally grow up, backlash occurs.

I'm less surprised Blacksad is sold VS Marvel/DC stuff.

I mean Jap Love:
Detective/Noir stories
Animal characters, bonus points for cats
Actually good art in said comics

I wonder how big Judge Dredd is in Japan

Dispenses justice? Check
Rides a motorcycle? Check
Always wears his helmet? Check

Ashley Wood?
He's not a bad artist.

Wait people on Sup Forums actually shit on Ash Wood? I mean I know this place is a haven for shit taste but I really thought I'd seen the limit.

Fun fact, the translator, Aiko Onishi is also an artist as well.

But this looks fucking awesome.

I like the modern art,but I don't know if modern art works in a comic book format.

She actually is capable, just not on a monthly schedule. Look up some of her art before she had to start drawing a page a day.

Remember when Arcade could do THIS?

Sup Forums doesn't even know who Ashley Wood is.
His shit is barely posted here and most of the time people just say it's edgy shit.
I remember somebody posting a few issues of Popbot last year and all it got was 2 posts shitting on it.

>Psyguy is an admired figure in the Sonic fandom for many years, operating his own website Fireball20xl with people such as Kirbopher and Tyson Hesse
>One day one of his exes named Shannon comes out with allegations of sexual misconduct against him that goes over several years' time
>this isn't anything new, she makes VERY implicit references to how much she hates Psyguy for this on his Wha-Chow! podcast that make more sense in hindsight
>Over time more staff members start talking about how "oh, yeah, he was a real piece of shit"
>Kirb even comes out with info against him, even though he makes it clear he didn't want to get involved in the drama
>Psy goes into hiding, starts a new persona named Bit Polar
I'm still not even sure how to feel about the whole thing desu. Some people are still talking to him like nothing ever happened, like Matt Herms (the dude who colored the Sonic comics). Add that to the fact that Shannon has literally gone full tumblr over the years, becoming creepily obsessed with stuffed animals and identifying as a fucking diglett
But at the same time Psy was well known for his sexual sense of humor, and I almost wouldn't be surprised if he did do some shady shit behind the scenes

He's not going as Psy anymore, he's Bit Polar now

This was fucking bullshit!

>callout happens
>Psy is successfully bullied off the internet due to ED and victims
>Callout crew gets restless and wants Psy to just admit shit
>psy too stubborn to even bother talking and still trying to ride a mercy train to fucksville that he was harassed.
>Meanwhile in the callout group, they start to be stupid:
>Triple Wipe45 - basically becomes as toxic as Psy and did more shit things to lets players and got abused again by the people that wanted to "Help her".
>Liz (one of Psy's most promiment exes and practically actually suffer real abuse and damn near sexual abuse) - gets called out for telling TripleWipe45 to not be a jerk and to be better than Psy and focus more on her life all the while being a toxic bitch in general.
>Kirbopher - Gets called out for making TripleWipe45 almost committ suicide because they had a fight.
>All the rest of the victims still want a confession; and no one gets one because the only person with legal connections never filed a lawsuit against psy, trying to hover and say that she can send one at anytime. No one does anything but high school bullshit.
>Psy comes back. But as Bitpolar, same shit but he hasn't done any toxic shit yet.

>>modern art

What the fuck are you on about? It's an attempt to replicate the graphics of the PS1. And the linework is much more in the vein of traditional pen and ink sketching (unrefined to give impact, or for Wood, a sense of motion usually)

And the Silent Hill page you've posted here is styilized, sure, but to emphasize the otherworldliness and anatomical fluidity prevalent in the franchise. You're either a pleb or a fucking moron m8

>how can we pander as much as possible?
>Don't worry guys! I got this

It's almost as if artists are capable of making good AND bad things.

god bless the AOL and midi music age of the internet.

2001-2004 god bless

Shannon actaully thinks that she's basically changing minds every fucking time when someone has a massive fight with her. It's so stupid that not even fucking people with mental issues believe her.

It's funny, Automatic Kafka is one of the first storytimes on Sup Forums that got me browsing the board regularly. Fucking love Ash Wood on account of it too. I just wish his output was a little bit higher, Zombies vs Robots was kind og a letdown with how little he contributed to the thing.

Actually wrote an article for a buddy's gaming website regarding his work for the MGS franchise, but that's a totally unrelated thing.

Pretty sure Japan doesn't have the collectors market for comics that the US is built on. Those big magazines like Shonen Jump are meant to be recycled after you're done then you buy the volumes of what you want to keep

Ironically, the figures where what got me into his art.
I also love his art, but his comics? Not so much.

Thanks.

Yeah the figs are nice but I could never fucking afford them. Comics are cheap and he's one of a few illustrators that allows himself to go nuts on a page still.

pic related?

Yes.
She drew that pic.
Pretty good, isn't?

what webcomic is this

Gurihiru did do Gwenpoole's covers, also did some of the interiors as well.

Now compare the cover. It's not quite at the level of a Gurihiru cover vs Henderson's interiors, but still a pretty big difference.

>It was a fill-in told to mimic another artist's style
Who, Rumiko Takahashi? Because that's some shitty 90s anime fanart tier fill-in work right there. Even if Kate Leth holds most of the blame for this, which she does, Allegri still made the choice to ape fucking Ranma 1/2 for some reason.

I've read it, but I don't own it because of her art. I started picking it up when Derek Charm took over.

Don't fucking lie. The shit she actually puts "effort" into just proves that she's a fucking amateur that has no idea how human bodies work.

Whoa. It's the same artist? I've loved his figures for years

What the fuck are those testicles on his forehead?

I dunno if he does the sculpts himself but they're all based on his work, yes.

Thanks for sharing this, I'm not familiar with his work, but am really excited to explore more now.

I believe he dies the sculpt himself and Kim Wong from ThreeZero does the rest.
My favorites are the Strigoi and Bad Bot, which some day I shall be able to afford.
I also love one of his first toys that I think was called Les Mort 13 but I heard it's flimsy and shitty.

>that artstyle
it looks like that gay furry comic about army guys fucking with the hung panther or whatever

Yeah Bad Bot is a great design. I honestly wish Wood explored the videogame/art director market more. A lot of his popbot stuff feels wildly similar to Nier Automata designs and would feel right at home in a similar universe. I like the idea of exploring a space he's created like that.

>shitting on Blacksad
get out.

Jackass. I'm saying that fanart from the translator looks like that gay furry porn comic.
