more ammo for Manic- now Bianchi's forgetting to draw costume accessories.

 

[Manic]

For real. Where are their belts? He couldn't even be bothered to draw belts on their costumes? And is Armor drawn with her back turned?

Why is he putting less detail in his art, and it's somehow taking even longer?

 

[UraniaChang]

I suppose he spent too much time on detailing the design of his stuff, if you concertrate on small things for too long you'll have trouble looking it as a whole, artist sometimes get blind spot like that when it comes to their drawing, they need to be pointed out by an outsider, or simply wait for some time then re-examine their drawing to find out what's missing in their work, guess Bianchi doesn't do either of these things.

Are they doing a musical in the picture?
Cause these are some very dramatic poses imo.

 

[squeekness]

Maybe they lost their equipment when their luggage got lost in the trip to wherever that is.

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

Can't say I dig that cover.

And Cyke's pose is an epic howler. Good God.

 

[ChaoticPsylocke]

yeah pretty fugly.

tell me anyone... what other run has "developed" the male genitalia quite as much as this one? it seems thats its always very pronounced and, dare i say it, in your face.

not that i think thye should show nothing or anything, i just dont think ive ever seen it displayed like this before...

 

[Manic]

Rob Liefeld had a habit of making it look like all men had a front-wedgie.

 

[UraniaChang]

Can't say I dig that cover.

And Cyke's pose is an epic howler. Good God.

Yeah, like he's doing an X-version of Swan Lake...even if Scott is in his happiest mood no one will catch him dead doing it.
Bianchi really needs to learn how to draw epic, but natural poses, seriously.

Storm fell face-first, that's funny. t:

 

[Manic]

I sense the presence of wibbly wobbly timey wimey... stuff.

 

[mightiest_mortal]

Now that's some hideous art.

 

[Manic]

I thought I recognized that awkward artwork. That's the dude who worked with Chris Claremont during the Reload period, right when X-Treme got cancelled, Claremont moved to Uncanny, and Psylocke came back from the dead.

 

[javi1024]

Now that's some hideous art.

that it may be, but its still a step up from Bianchi.

 

[squeekness]

I disagree. Everyone looks long and funny.

 

[HandOfFate]

Storm fell face-first, that's funny. t:

Still better then what happened to Cyke.....

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Cyclops said "****ing". Hooray

 

[ChaoticPsylocke]

yeah i recognized the art immediately. its not that horrible. well usually. a good portion of his stuff doesnt suck too bad.

 

[UraniaChang]

Still better then what happened to Cyke.....

Judging her super-sized ego, she might find being removed a lot more better than her face-first landing.

 

[Nature's Rising]

Omg Bianchi, those bulges...so females can get huge chests, so it's OK for men to have theirs too? Amirite? But I digress...

Hmmm can't remember that artist but he's not really that horrible. At least he's art is kinda flexible in a sense, with emotions and stuff. Whatever.

 

[HandOfFate]

Judging her super-sized ego, she might find being removed a lot more better than her face-first landing.

Seeing that your a Cyke fan, I wouldn't go around using the words "Super-Sized Ego".

 

[Brainiac 8]

I really want to like this book, but the art is starting to slowly kill me inside.

 

[squeekness]

It would take a realy horrible artist like the guy who does Young X-men or someone way too cartoony for me to dump a book written as well as this one is. On the other hand, I don't know why it is that Marvel has to keep rotating artists like they do.
