dude, come on, no it's not....

I dunno know, the facial expression does change a bit. It's a little less obvious than the Troy one to me anyway.

 

[Killgore]

yeah, but Alex uses photos he takes himself

Not all of them. Some of his props, backgrounds, landsacpes, city scapes and even some of his figures are swiped photography.

ross paints the pictures.

land traces the pictures.

thats the distinction.

(though i may be wrong do you have anything like the pics posted daming ross like land??)

 

[Dr Doom]

Alex Ross is known for using photos and models when doing his art work.

NO ****, WHAT'S YOUR POINT.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Ultimate Namor is Shane West

 

[Dr Doom]

ACTUALLY NO, THERE IS A PICTURE WITH SOME FAMOUS MODEL STANDING WITH A GUY IN THAT EXACT SAME POSE.

 

[GNR]

NO ****, WHAT'S YOUR POINT.

Chill out Mr. "special font everytime I post".

 

[Dr Doom]

YOU HAVE NO POINT, SO YOU COMMENT ON MY FONT

Eh, I still say Shane West. I actually know who he is

Can you post the picture?

The more I look at it, the more I doubt,.. at least in the face. It's the same down to the smirking mouth, the shape of eyebrows, the cricked nose,.. the necklace even seems to be going the same route as Shane's colar.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

So WHAT. Would you rather crappy, unrealistic art or some good art?

Geeze, every ****ing little thing there needs to be a big thing over.

Caught you OOC!

But I agree with you. I'd like to see any of the haters trace as well.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Actually I can't do "in'" at th' end of a curse 'cause it won't get censored out.

 

[Killgore]

Wolverine would never say "Geeze"

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Oh, that. Well, read th' sig...ain't tryin' to be Wolverine. Just havin' fun my own way.

 

[Killgore]

Just havin' fun my own way.

So am I.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Alrighty then.

 

[iloveclones]

.

I would rather art that can tell a story. I don't care if it's photos or stick-figures.

I don't care if Land traces, as long as he's picking poses that lend themselves to the "movement" between panels, and not just picking "cool poses". I actually think Land does a decent job at it. I don't think Ross does all the time (despite how gorgeous they look. And ironically, I don't think Ross traces, but uses "actors" as photo-reference, if you can see the difference)

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

That he does. His model fer Kingdom Come Supes he paid to shave his head to become Earth X Cap.

Oh I don't care. Greg Land's my favorate artist. I just think it's fun to try and figure out who certain people are. It made me smile when I realized that Sean Connery was in Sojourn

Heh,.. I always thought that Earth X Cap looked a lot like Bruce Willis in Unbreakable.

Wow!!

As an artist myself, it is splitting hairs. My own personal opinion though is that Ross' sequential art is lacking, not in craft but in visual narration, and Land is a better storyteller.
