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?
>>
>>95007276
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.

Absurd, yes the tracing is bad but what matters is the end result & Liefeld & some of the recent Sjw artist are much worse.

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.

Deodato and Janin are tied for "shitty 3D models used for the actual art" category
>>
>>95007889
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.

So are all of his fans this sensitive, or are you just a particularly easily-butthurt bitch?

Nowadays Deodato manages to be even worse than Land.

This. His art legitimately looks like what I drew in elementary school.

Jesus Christ nobody posted this yet? I win. You're all too slow or blocked it from your memories.

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.
>>
Steve Ditko, no doubt.
>>
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 /co/ 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.

I have never read patsy walker, not even look the interior besides that page that was posted in another thread

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.

JRJR and Miller are patrician taste.

I wonder what Land traced for this one...
>>
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.
>>
>XD
Fuck off.
Anyway, the worst that I can currently think of is the one doing the Squirrel Girl comic.

>>95016321
yes, anon, that is a very well-constructed page, and the art is both expressive and dynamic
>>
>>95016332
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.

Yet not decent enough yet to see the good qualities in JRJR and Miller's earlier work...

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.

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.
>>
>>95017787
They are both terrible and you'll find that anime in general is a huge "no-no" in any artistic learning circles.
>>
>>95017787
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.

The fucking WORST
>>
>>95016290

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.
