Be good to yourself. We will be here when you return. People will likely have stopped posting bad art by then
I don't understand why people have to take bans instead of having self-control. 🤔
As long as pre-2010 comics exist, people will still be posting bad art.
confession time I read half of watchmen and never went back
oh no
nope no not never none nil naught knull
oh no
nope no not never none nil naught knull
might just mean hes banning himself
if not then yeah i dont get it either
No, I get it. I just don't get why people need to request temp bans instead of using a little self-control.
WTF is going on the TWD show, just seen an image of Negan and Alpha butt naked whilst some guy watches with his head out of a hole in the ground
They're in the middle of a forest too with socks on

Agreed
doom patrol art rocked! i really love the flat coloring and shading. gives the image an awesome richness, but still allows for really great fine detail at the same time as a cartooonist style that makes it seem both realistic and everything but.
imagine referring to Sienkiewicz art like this. No one in 2020 can pull off the shit he was doing back then. GOAT interior artist imo. It's a shame there is just so little of his work.
Speaking as an internet junkie it really does help to be barred from the thing you're trying to avoid. If you could exercise enough self control you wouldn't have the problem in the first place.
It bums me out that I like a lot of the art posted from the modern era, 'cause I can't genuinely dunk on it when ya'll bitch about old stuff. I could pick on a few people but it feels kinda douche-y.
These are examples of Xavier being kinda dick ish. I'm not even gonna dunk on him for finding Storm hot--he kept all that stuff to himself. But the example I linked? It's the kind of stuff you see in a movie right before the main character realizes the kindly old guy that's been guiding them is actually a bad person and potentially even the villain. He asks Scott for something, Scott points out how it's an unreasonable request, and Xavier's response is to call Scott--essentially his freaking son, an "ungrateful cur", then start talking about how he took him in. Sounds like he's talking to a dog. Even has his hand up like he's about to strike him.
Your stuff is bad, but it's bad in kind of a "Superdickery" sort of way. I can brush most of it (mind control stuff aside) off. But that Cyclops panel legitimately shouldn't have been written that way. Like, he's not even pissed because Scott won't go save the X-Men. He's pissed because Scott for once chose not to follow his orders.
Of course he was. I did an entire post on him being a dick last year.

I took a glance at it and I fucked off out of there.www.resetera.com
But again... Xavier. This is issue #1.
"Haha! Outright lies, my teenage charges!"
"I mean, he was dying already, right?"
"I know I totally brainwashed folks in the past, but... not like anymore, right?"
"I'm never leaving you son." *Promptly leaves him to Moira*
"Hey girl."

They're all great. People here tend to be more down on Watchmen and DKR than is typical so keep that in mind when reading responses. That doesn't mean that those views aren't valid and worth listening to but they are not widespread opinions outside of this thread.
Now, the complaints against DKR2 aren't valid or worth listening to. It's too radical for the plebs.

Picked up this trade. A collection of shorts with contributions from Fiona Staples, Faith Erin Hicks and others. Should have paid attention to the publisher name though. It got very very NSFW very very quickly...

So I decided to look around for some forgotten/underrated X-men related minis and I grabbed BKV's X-Men Icons: Chamber. Holy shit this whips ass! Highly recommend it for a nice short and sweet book, just like his Doctor Strange: The Oath.
anyone have any fav random minis (Not necessarily X-Men related) that slipped through the cracks?

Recently, I really liked Meet The Skrulls. That sort of slipped under the radar.
e: That Defenders group of connected one-shots from last year was kinda cool.

The biggest turn-off for me is probably the lack of any real color gradiants. It's like the deepest they go with coloring is the paint bucket tool in photoshop.
That aside, there's some wonky anatomy and a real lack of detail in a lot of panels. In 2020, a lot of high school students can draw better than this.
Haha. I was kidding, but I totally guessed it!
Also, Freeza, pls..
Oh, another thing. Does anyone here read EC Comics? It's a shame the CCA killed them off because their comics were pretty entertaining.
I guess the issue I have is that you associate the amount of gradients and detail with good art, and lack of that stuff with bad art. Yet you don't really have those issues with modern day artists who are purposefully sparing in detail and color depth (considering today's level of color and gradients possible) like Chris Samnee or Steve Lieber (Fraction's Jimmy Olsen artist).
I think you also are completely bypassing quality of storytelling. Yeah, there ARE high school students who can draw "better" than this (whatever that entails), but that doesn't mean they're actually good visual storytellers.
I mean, yeah, colors WERE more limited then by virtue of the technology they had (or lack thereof), but they worked well with what they had. I just can't understand how you can believe that art before modern coloring techniques was just "bad," when you can compare 40s art to 60s and 60s to 80s and see MASSIVE strides in art all throughout and all of it had its own interesting qualities.
I would say maybe it's just because you didn't read art back then, but I've only been reading since 2015 and I have no problem seeing the intrinsic qualities in all decades of comic art.
The second part was worse! It was covered by the "plz.."
We already knew another big Venom story was coming this year. It was teased at the end of last year lol
