i love black shadows, one of my favorite things in graphic art.

I'm hoping some cooldog will come and introduce me to artists with a similar style. the only major ones i can think of are Mike Mignola, Takeshi Koike (OP), and Shigenori Soejima (pic related).

lol...

I despise it. It's the thing I hate the most about western comic art (DC, Marvel, etc).

yuji himukai is one of my inspirations, so yes

I don't know if that's what made the movie, but it's certainly awesome

i saw a lot of hard shading on some of arts (american comic or dark themed japanese manga or hentai) it's really heavy and makes your art look badass

It's one of the things that I want to acheive

don't one of the dodonpachi games have this style too? I can't remember

>>2873929
Oh, I've got that comic, it's pretty well done

Are you guys seriously only now discovering what Chiaroscuro is?

>>2869183
It can look good, but I actually thought it detracted from Redline. It was too crudely done.

It really depends on the art.

With something detailed and well proportioned like >>2869196
it looks good. But with something "stylized" and deformed like >>2873912 it just makes the finished product worse.

>>2873947
That's not what that word means...Did you wanna feel superior that bad?

check out Sean Gordon Murphy, he's like a less cartoony, but just as stylized mignola
