Recommended Posts

w...what's wrong with tim bradsheet?

don't ruin him for me you guys :muggin:

 

nothing, im a huge fan myself! my favorite one is the ashy looking one where he's holding a gun, and there's a bunch of guns inna background, with him in the trench coat, you know? that one.

 

cmon now, Dillon can draw more variation in faces than Bradstreet can do covers.

You can't piss and moan about Greg Land lightboxing if you're gonna go after Tim Bradstreet.

 

And Dillon has 4 faces. White woman, white man, fat white person, black person (for some reason this one's all purpose), and slightly tubby middle-aged white guy with a double chin. So that's like 5.

 

and ASC to your response to name one where he didn't look badass:

I think it's trying to advocate that he's been captured, but rather it looks like some creepy old guy trying to pick up chicks. And yes the rest look awesome, why? Because the FIRST one looked awesome and if all you do is copy your first one then yes it'll look just as cool. Like I said, I'd find the guy harmless but he's like at the top list as one of the greatest artists of all time makes me almost as mad as seeing Eric Clapton's name on the list of best fucking guitar players ever. Hey using cheating methods look great and if it works, good for you, but you're still cheating at something other people do with nothing more than skill and hard work.

Yeah, I had to lightbox Nick as you can see, and then I just painted on some long hair. I think it's my best work.

 

I think I can hear Marvel executives cutting the check right now. I think I just heard them tell Mike Zeck to clean out his desk so Liefeld would have room to keep his stuff.

Oh don't get me wrong, I don't think the guy's all that great and how he uses his reference certainly hurts the effectiveness of his art, but for someone to call him a talentless hack and not a real artist for doing something that most comic artists do (even if he does it badly) is pushing it.

 

 

bingo.

I could have sworn I had already posted here years ago.

 

I've got no moral problems with photo references or even photo tracing or lightboxing, although I do personally find it rather lame. The drawings that come of using the technique (with human beings at least, not scenery) usually end up being flat and emotionless. It's an issue I've had with Alex Ross since day 1. Maybe the guy could be an awesome, dynamic artist, if he wasn't so addicted damn to models. Tons of people use models and photo references though, it's fair game as far as I'm concerned for helping to accurately convey a comic book story.

 

All the recycling is also lame, but it's not enough for me to condemn him. It's not enough for me to call him a hack, or even a tracer. Just lame.

Now swiping other peoples art, THAT makes him a cunt. That makes him a hack, a tracer and a fucking criminal, in addition to already being lame. The only exceptions would be either accurately crediting the actual artist, using it with permission or openly using it as some sort of tribute/homage. Passing it off as his own makes him a gigantic sack of shit and he should be chased out of the industry.

...oh god i hope im still in time for the Land hate-fest. he really is holding out on that job going to a real artist somewhere, and ever since the pornface thing he was busted on,i see that shit in almost every female he draws. i actively avoid his books at this point.
