I'd take Stokoe's "unrealistic" style over Larocca's tracing.

Nightmare Asylum

Yep, same. I don't know what Marvel's (and other publishers, too) aversion is to stylized art in licensed comics. Not everything has to be so photorealistic. Let artists work in some interesting and unique styles, if the style happens to suit the story being told.

That is one thing that I'll give Dark Horse credit on for sure, and it shows in works like Dead Orbit, Salvation, and a myriad of other titles.

Give me this:



Over this:



Any day of the week.

Dead orbit was great :D

Amen

Nightmare Asylum

Aye, it really is. I bought myself a copy of the oversized Dead Orbit hardcover after the Marvel announcement dropped. Wanted to make sure I could scoop one before they went out of print. 8)

I joined these boards because of "Dead Orbit" and I agree that it and "Salvation" are two of best and have their own distinct art styles which are among my favorites but I also love "Destroying Angels" , "Thicker than Blood", and "Nightmare Asylum" which have a more realistic art style. Ultimately I care more for the story being told regardless of the art style employed.

Mike Mignola is probably close to my favourite comic artist (and writer) of all time. His simplistic style and use of black shadowing is just magnificent - it's the main reason I got into Hellboy 2 decades ago and now own pretty much every single thing they've published.

Honestly, I like realism.

I don't like things looking like an anime.

I don't really give a shit about tracing as long as it's decently implemented, isn't stealing another artist's work, and isn't this god damn image:

Ye gods that bloody picture...

For anyone interested in James Stokoe.  His next project is called 'Orphan and the Five Beasts'.

It starts in March and is published by Dark Horse.

It's a Kung Fu story and sounds great.

Unless theyre super Alien fanatics, I have to assume that most artists understandably have no idea how to draw an Alien. Yeah, they remember the creature generally from watching a movie or two a few times in their life, but its architecture is not at all simplistic and something often hidden in shadow, so much so that to draw it, they are going to need to reference photos, figures or something... and draw it often enough... before they are able to commit it to memory.
