Which artist has the most inflated ego ever?

hehe inflated

>>87704197

Claremont then

>>87704187
probably the guy who does Dresdan Codak

literally called Will Eisner and privileged white man because he was more famous than him

>>87704439
this will never stop to look shopped

>>87704439
Does anyone genuinely like ctrl atl del these days?

Web comic (((artists))) will never cease to amaze me with how much money they made off of such minimum effort.

Bill Watterson
Frank Miller
Todd McFarlane
Don Rosa
Rob Liefeld

Bear in mind that I do not call any of these artists "bad", some of the work they've done I absolutely love.
But they all seem to have some of the biggest egos in the industry.

"Mediocre white man".

Toy with that for a while. What does it mean? That he's not white all the time? That he's off-white? That he's not very good at being white?

...It means Diaz didn't have the balls to write: "...When you're a mediocre Jew."

***

How do we feel about Byrne?

I would bring up Fraction, but he actually seems to be an OK guy. Just a horrible, horrible writer.

is Penders actually autistic?
like, I don't think anyone would be surprised at this point, I'm just wondering if it's been confirmed

>>87704796

Being autistic doesn't mean you're an asshole or full of yourself.

>>87704717

'Jewish' is not white?

>>87704717
...But Jack Kirby was Jewish too.

Brian Michael Bendis

>>87704545
Erik is way, way worse than Todd.
He's also basically a manchild irl despite his success.

>>87704853
This is what happens when you don't research shit. I mean, it's easier to assume everyone at Marvel from 1939 to 1970 is Jewish unless proved otherwise, but yeah.

>>87705454

...From 1961, surely.

And it's probably true, too.

Timely and Atlas were like 100% Jews, anon.

>>87704843
Nope, it's a religion that automatically makes your skin tone darker.

They're talking about "cultural jews" which is a mess of a term in itself; White to semi-white people with names based on German and Polish names...

Counter question, is there an artist who was a worse critic of themselves than Leonardo da vinci? He's last word were literally

>“I have offended God and mankind because my work did not reach the quality it should have.”

>>87704545
Rosa's ego is based entirely around his Carl Barks autism. He dismisses most Duck artists who aren't Barks and of himself in particular, he just calls his own work half-assed fanfiction.

>>87705830
Does Socrates count?

>>87705830
Artists today aren't self-aware of their own awfulness.

>>87705858
They just make sarcastically glib comics about it and have their followers vomit forth endless praise in return.

>>87705883
Da Vinci probably thought people weren't sobbing hard enough too.

>>87704187

Aaron Diaz. Throws a fit if people dare to give less than 3-4 stars out of 5 in their reviews of his comic. Claims that Nintendo consistently steals his "brilliant" idea of female Link.

Once you gain a big enough cult of personality you're set for life. There are people who will never stop following you no matter how bad you are.

It happened with Buckley, with Taeshi, with Jaques, etc.

...Toth had a pretty fuckin' big ego.
Also I've been trying to remember the name of this contemporary cape artist, he has one of those Polish-sounding names, like Stepan Tonjzik, or something, read some of his blog posts and tweets a few years ago and he came across as the most arrogant ass-hat in the entire industry. Any /co/mrades have an idea of who I'm referring to? He has quite a "realistic" style, seems to do a lot of colour work and covers. He also sort of resembles Doctor Strange. Fuck, I wish I could remember his name, it's doing my head in a bit now...

>>87706319
Mark Millar?
Danny Fingeroth?
Jim Valentino?
Mike Gallagher?
Angelo DeCesare?
Dan Slo-okay scratch that one, but still.

>>87704717

huh. I checked his twitter to see his mental breakdown in light of recent events but he has been quiet since Halloween. What a waste.

>>87706274

If you're a retard who makes comics for retards, you got yourself a fairly large audience. And retarded fanboys are fanatical to the very end.

Arthur Suydam comes to mind with his stealing of tables at cons and photoshopped images showing he's popular.

>>87706314
is he going to get a job?

Assmad because he knows he will never compare

>>87704717
Kirby and Eisner have equal amounts of reverence, Kirby probably more so because he's still slightly more famous.

>>87706810
Diaz is a fucking casual who doesn't know shit about cpmics, anon.

>>87706828
He's also pretty fucking white for a Cuban, so his "Racial Identity" is "direct participant and beneficiary of the Atlantic slave trade"

>>87706944
Do we know if he was born in cube or in america?

>>87706981
America.
He's about as Cuban as most southern whites are native American. He just takes anything he can to shield himself.

>>87706377
Toth thinks he's writing grand revelations full of deep insight but their nonsensical trash that doesn't say anything new or interesting

>>87707098
Yes but he's rightly revered as an artist, though. He's incredibly influential, I would argue he's even as influential as Kirby

Not including webcomics because it's too easy, I'd say Kot. Fucking half-ass Ditko wannabe.

He's the complete opposite of Ditko. Ditko was never an attention fag.

>>87707378
Ditko not being attwhore was the reason that Stan Lee stole the fame that should've belong to him.

>>87707730
This meme is shit.
Stan's dialogue sucked, but he helped mold the chatacter and came up with a lot of the core ideas. If it was just Ditko then Peter would never grow out of being an antisocial, petty cunt with a victim complex.

>I remember Eric asking me to go in and find out just how far behind Platt was on an issue of an already late Prophet comic. I found him working very diligently…on a two page spread which was for the following issue and not the one which was needed. Like a week ago. He went into a whole 20 minute spiel about his art style, how art is a higher calling, and how he approaches his work like Moebius does.

>I pointed out that Moebius was a long time professional who would have been working on the pages he needed to finish and how he wasted a slew of time telling me how he works without actually working as he did.

>He never really talked to me much after that.

Whenever he fucks up on twitter so bad he can't spin it, he disappears until he thinks people have forgotten and then shills himself some more.
Same thing happened when Mary Cagle ripped him a new one.

I'm glad he keeps fucking himself over. I wish he'd do this more because he honestly should have been dobsoned a long time ago.

>>87709451
I know a friend of mine still reads him. I've been meaning to mention it to him, if only because it would be funny. I don't really want to be a dick about it but my friend's totally a tumblrtard and I feel like there's a rich area of discussion surrounding Diaz being a total cunt.
That said, if I find out he's supporting Diaz pattern we're gonna have some goddamn words, he doesn't have the money to be wasting on a scam artist.

Kek. The nerve of this guy to even remotely compare himself to Moebius. Fucking Splatt, how beautifully apposite. What a shitty artist, that cover is a fucking eyesore. I must scour the internet for more examples of this ridiculously crappy "artiste's" self-regard.

That sounds quite possible...is he known as an arrogant cnut, Anon?

>>87711425
Yeah I just googled him, that's the fellow! I wish I'd saved some of those posts, man, the arrogance of that dude. It's not like he's even that good. He strikes me as one of those dudes who got into comics to draw pretty pictures, not to actually tell a story. Pin-up storytellers, I like to call 'em.

>I pointed out that Moebius was a long time professional who would have been working on the pages he needed to finish and how he wasted a slew of time telling me how he works without actually working as he did.

Kirby could do a whole comic in a week and usually did that much content. These guys are legends because they're great AND they're fucking machines.

>>87713966
The Steve Rude letter, though!!! I must preface this by saying that Rude is my absolute favourite "mainstream" artist ever, I've loved his stuff since 1988 and think he's really the only conceivable "heir" to Kirby's legacy. But SOME of the criticisms Toth levelled at him were deserved. And that whole letter is fucking ruthless ("a few well-drawn panels do not make a good comic" etc, etc). I like that Rude made a point-by-point rebuttal though. I read on the old TCJ message board that it didn't really ruffle his feathers at all and that made me love The Dude even more. Toth was probably pissed at the "young buck" doing at least a good a job on Johnny Quest as he ever did himself--I can't help but think that there's an element of insecurity to his fiercest critiques. He knew how the industry worked and was afraid of being "knocked off his perch" when he should have known that his place in the canon of legendary creators is forever assured. The most massive egos are usually the most fragile.
On the other hand Toth has lent his praise to some absolute shit--what's the name of that self-publishing cartoonist who organised (?) one of the Draw Muhammed days in, I think, Texas? He has a funny-sounding name, begins with a "B"...shit, I can't remember. Anyway Toth raved about that, on the other hand he supplied a blurb for a Paul Grist comic, can't remember if it was Kane or Union Jack or what, Grist is a decent cartoonist, though.
I have to get those Dean Mullaney Toth biographies some time. I borrowed the first one from a mate, it was really good, pretty fucking fascinating.

>>87714688
had toth spent that much time on writing perhaps he'd be more than an artist's artist today
