Art Adams Thor for the win.

 

[Godzilla2000]

I want more detailed shots for Virtual Model building.
I'd love to start on the Helicarrier and Quin-jet.

I just have to ask is it really a hell of a carrier?

Ouch! Don't hit me because of the bad pun itself...just hit me because I actually posted it.

To be honest, I'm not sure that makes that much difference.

I'm not trying to say that the general moviegoing public is stupid, or don't care. It's unwise to make blanket statements.

But it's actually very hard to tell how people not already familiar with comics are processing all the different heroes. Far from it being clear that they regard the movies by different studios as representing completely separate heroic "worlds"... I was sitting at a showing of "Thor", and a middle-aged guy behind me was talking about, "And isn't Green Lantern also going to be in The Avengers?" (Fortunately the person he was with corrected him before I had to. )

So, sure -- I wouldn't assume that the G.A. knows that the X-Men and the Avengers are from the same "world". But I wouldn't assume they care that much, either.

Use "adamantium" in The Avengers, and comics geeks will know that they're connected, and I honestly think either the G.A. won't care, or might at this point even say, "huh, maybe that means this is connected with X-Men".

Thank you.

To this day Art Adams is one of my faves.
If you go by non-realistic more cartoony artists for ME it was Michael Golden, Art Adams in that era.
In SOME of my art you can see the Golden influance

Agreed. Though, I think George Perez was incredible as well.

 

[Godzilla2000]

I'm not going to lie, that looks awesome!

Yeah he has a certain Style that seemed to have come out the same time when he frist became popular. Byrne wasn't the only one with what I've Called "FAN Style" art.
Don't get me wrong, he's a very Talented Creative guy, but to ME he was just Lucky where other Artist Like Wendy Pini weren't.
I just can't see why people have to COPY his art style like Liefield seemed to have done early on.
I mean go your own way if you're drawing or even writing don't copy theirs unless it's to help tell a story.

Byrne openly admits he was influenced by Neal Adams (I see that influence more in his work than any other artist). Likewise Alan Davis was influenced by both Adams and Byrne.

Tbh, most artists are influenced by what has gone before, with the better ones evolving their own style in the end (new artists to marvel in the 60's were actually instructed on how to mimic Kirby's style for posing and framing shots).

Personally I loved Byrne's work on the X-Men with Claremont and the FF, and only found out later (once I had the internet enter my life) that the man himself is not quite as appealing as his art.

Loved his She-Hulk.

Man, Byrne was the first artist I really got into in the very early 80's during his time with Xmen and Alpha Flight. Used to love his work. As I got older and got more into behind the scenes stuff I started to realize he was class A putz.

Like you I was heavily into John Byrne stuff with X-men and Alpha flight which during his 28(?) issue rune actually took over from X-men as my fav comic. What did you find out about him that made him a 'class A putz'?

 

[wobbly]

That sounds like such a great, interesting idea! More or less I don't think this has ever been done.

I've done a couple before (not for Avengers, but the X-Men)

I've been collecting for a little while now for an Avengers one (waiting for some live action shots of the Hulk), just gotta pick out a cover I like once I've got everything I need.

 

[Shadowlord X]

I remember hearing about Liefeld whilst I was not into comics for a while and then i got back into them and picked up an issue of X-Force. I couldn't believe that this was the art of the guy I had heard so much about; the art was terrible. Many of the things that 'review' (= roast) stated stood out: the lack of backgrounds, the disproportionate body parts, etc.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Byrne's a massive dick but I've always loved his art. His FF and Alpha Flight runs from the 80's are some great comics.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

reminds me of EMH thor.

He just could never get along with the editors and writers sometimes making fun of them on panels at some cons. His tenures on different titles would eventually end cause he just couldn't get along.

It's funny when you think about it, the vast majority of artists and writers in the comic book industry are pricks.

I take it this is in reference to the John Byre question and not Liefeld. If so thanx.

I used to love Art Adams' artwork, back in the 90's when he was drawing Longshot's miniseries (a character I heard he helped created) and Excalibur. But as the years go by his characters all have the same square-jaw characteristic, and rather indistinguishable from one another. It's too bad, because he used to be one of the best out there.

Whoo, boy. Here come the naysayers...

Can't we have a sticky on every Hype forum that explains that reshoots are common practice?

Uh-oh, this spells trouble in paradise. The fact they need to correct scenes only means this movie will suck. I knew this director was crap.

Reshoots?

THE MOVIE IS DOOMED..... DOOOOOMED I TELL YE!!!!

Yeah, i would like to say this doesn't concern me but i'd be lying..is it a normal thing for studios to do reshoots 4 months before a movies release..isnt that cutting it a bit close?

It obviously means that the studio doesn't have any confidence in what they have seen thus far! /kidding

In all seriousness, CA:TFA was doing reshoots in March/April last year, so yeah it is pretty common. I do remember reading constant posts from someone claiming that Cap was going to be a flop because of the reshoots. Good stuff.

Also, back in August when I did some extra work for The Avengers, they took my picture and my information just in case they needed me for reshoots. So these things are built into the schedule it sounds like.
