Illustrator Reacts to Good and Bad Comic Book Art 5 (Moebius, Bryan Lee O'Malley and more)

- Опубліковано 7 жов 2024
- In this Illustrator reacts to good and bad comic book art episode we got David Yardin, Moebius (Jean Giraud), Mike Deodato Jr., Bill Sienkiewicz, Bryan Lee O'Malley and Gabriel Rodriguez. Some art specifically is coming from The Injustice comic series (where that thumbnail Batman is from), Dark Avengers, Seconds (O'Malley's book after Scott Pilgrim), Locke and Key (written by Joe Hill, Stephen King's son) and more!
In this episode, as with the Good and Bad Manga art episode, we look at some 'bad' art that was made under super tight time constraints and well as some comic book panel layout. We look at some good with Bill Sienkiewicz's clever layouts for Moon Knight and Bryan Lee O'Malley's world building pages, then some less flattering with Mike Deodato Jr's Dark Avengers art (which is generally really good, but there are some odd pages). And of course in talking about Moebius, I had to talk about his use of color theory as very few people use reserved color palettes as effectively as he does.
The hope as always is that these videos are entertaining while respecting the artists, as well as informative in helping any aspiring comic book illustrator to learn how professional artists are utilising different art techniques! Also as mentioned in previous episodes, this show was very much inspired by Corridor crew's 'VFX Artists React to Bad and Great CGI' videos and LegalEagle's Always sunny episodes.

Do some Miyazaki cover art or Manga art from Nausicaa since you love it so much. Miyazaki is an amazing artist as well, the artbook of Nausicaa is pretty amazing
I would love to hear your opinion of Steve Ditko!!
how have you not yet talked about jim lee? XD
I'd recommend livo rameondeli, if that's how his name is spelled
Can you cover more filipino artist?
Love this series. Perhaps consider doing a retro edition. Featuring artists like Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko and George Perez.
I totally second that! John Byrne, John Buscema, Gil Kane, Garcia Lopez, Curt Swan...
And I'd like to make a very unusual suggestion: Carl Barks! Some of his layouts are simply unmatched even today.
Neal Adams. Bernie Wrightson. Frank Frazetta.
John Byrne and Neal Adams
Yes, the late George Perez and massive amount of characters and details.
Just so you know, it wasn’t archangel, it was Mimic (he has the powers of loads of other characters to put it simply)
🎵Anything you can do I can do better🎵
Ice man: No you can’t
Yeah, Mimic can have 5 powers but only at half their power level. He was really interesting.
Yup, he's named on the page itself.
Yeah Mimic is cool
11:33 *Yep ! :D That 's definitely the Marvel supervillain and Marvel X-Men rogue,, Mimic who has the superhuman power to Mimic mutant /superhuman superpowers ! :D I'm definitely remember seeing the Mimic character in Marvel X-Men comics! :D He 's a unique and different as well as a extraordinary rigue character!* 😀
So, Moebius is like the JoJo anime color pallets
@「 Mageddone 」 Jojo is black and white. Only the covers are coloured.
@「 Mageddone 」 wasn't that fan coloring ?
「 Mageddone 」 There are fully colored versions but they aren’t done by Araki himself and they generally keep the colors consistent for each character rather than varying depending on the image.
@@GrizonII there are some chapters that are officially colored for SBR and in those the characters' color palette is consistent as well
xolotltolox If you’re referring to the digital color versions, they are official but they aren’t done by Araki. There have been various instances throughout all of JJBA where he does color pages though (which unfortunately aren’t included in most volume releases of the series, although the recent hardcovers have them and IIRC most of them are included in the digital color releases for Parts 7 and 8 [although weirdly the earlier parts mostly didn’t include them and instead recolored the scene to match the main palette they chose]) and each time he does that he tends to choose different palettes for the characters (compare for instance the first few pages of SBR Chapter 28 and 95, both of which were colored by Araki, the characters have completely different palettes in each). I don’t mean that each panel necessarily has its own palette or something like that, rather that each page or sequence of pages generally has a separately decided palette, in case that was unclear.
I should note actually that Araki has done a few works in full color, specifically “Rohan at the Louvre” and his collaborations with Gucci.
I would totally read a whole comic with Bucktooth Batman.
Definitely check out Hajime Isayama's first published art vs his later art.
Yuh, he had a big evolution
Hes truly a testament to the concept of improvement. Hes a legend
or hirohiko araki his art has evolved since 1980s
@@funkgaara32 hes done araki already i think
Or Inoue Takahiro in Slam Dunk as well as Vagabond(even though the art later on isn't as refined.)
If im not mistaken, Moebius did the concept work for the original 1982 Tron. Love that movie and Moebius!
That character that looks like angel is called mimic, he's a dude who can mimic the original x-men's powers (hence the optic blasts), you don't really need to know him, he's kind of useless
Oooh snap that’s who that is! Hahaha I only know him because as a kid I made up a character with the exact name and powers then found out he existed and was real mad about it 😝😝😝
The best version of Mimic is the one from Exiles.
@@PopCross oh yeah,well in 1987 ( I was 13) I submitted an idea to Marvel for a group called Excalibur Corp. I got a form rejection letter that i wish i still had. Months later,the comic Excalibur is published. Marvel, I'm watching you lol. I think one of my characters was like Shadowcat with something like Hawkeye's costume at the time. Those boots man..
I am glad that you covered Moebius. My older friend was a huge fan of his work in Heavy Metal magazine. At the time (mid 80s) I didn't really appreciate it. Since then, I have come to REALLY appreciate his work and have seen how he has influenced other artists with his style. I think you did a really good job of pointing out how some of his techniques are subtle, yet have a subconscious impact when looking at the panels. He did this in multiple ways. One of the first comic related posters that I bought to hang on my wall as a teen was Moebius's Iron Man. I never even read Iron Man and was a DC fan but I just really liked the illustrative style and use of the limited color pallet that also influenced me as an art student.
I kinda like the way Catwoman's face looked in the original art tbh
Fair enough! Was pretty good! There are some spots that I didn’t think needed fixing but I guess he had a different vision for it
@@PopCross Yeah that makes sense. It would definitely look a bit weird if only that was left unchanged
@@PopCross check out Tang Chi sFai Feng Shen Ji art
Moebius' stuff is just satifying to look at. It's detailed, simply, chaotic and so perfectly organised. It has this Francobelgian comic feel that is just so nice.
So pleased to see Locke & Key featured. It’s easily one of my favourite series and the collected edition box set is beautiful.
I'm so impressed with it so far! Just ordered the second volume so super excited to keep going with it!
Oh, I love David Yardin’s art. But everyone can have an off day or panel. Glad you were able to provide so much behind the scene information and side by side comparison between initial release and later version.
Tuning in for another episode of "Comic recommendations"
Already got the notebook out
You should do another redesign video on movie villains and heroes like 2019 joker
I’ll keep that in mind! I do wanna do more superhero stuff soon!
PopCross Studios thanks from Scotland
I'd love if you reacted to Kohei Horikoshi's art, the way he draws expressions and the INSANE dynamic poses are insane. And if you end up reacting to animation, please do Attack on Titan, My Hero Academia, Dragon Ball Super (Ultra Instinct)
Maybe even Dragon Ball Super: Broly.
Actually, Miyazaki was aware of how much he would have been influenced by Moebius if he had seen any of his stuff hence why he purposely avoided his work for stuff like Nausicaa.
You're so wrong ... Miyazaki has admitted on video that a lot of the designs in Nausicaa was precisely inspired by Moebius's Arzak... he said that during the press conference in front of Moebius when they met for a co-exhibition.. its on youtube .. He's been a fan of Moebius ever since he first saw Moebius's artworks ...
J. H. Williams III and his work on Batwoman and Batwoman Elegy has always been really inspiring to me!
I can see that you're becoming increasingly confident with this series. I appreciate!
I love hearing you talk about good art as well as bad art.
react to Yusuke murata's art, not only one punch man but also eyeshield 21 and all the art he does for Twitter, i would risk and say that he is one of the best artists in Japan and thats a tall order
also if you have time Yuki Tábata the author of hungry joker and black clover, he has some gorgeous double spreads art on his mangas
A video on webcomics would be awesome! Stuff like Tracy Butler’s Lackadaisy is among the best. Gunnerkrig Court is a great example of ok art evolving into great artwork. I hear Ava’s Demon is cool... my mind is going blank right now on other stuff but the thing about webcomics is that the level of quality is all over the place.
Also about O'Malley's page if you notice: the characters are almost placed on a Fibonacci sequence spiral
Oh cool! I totally didn’t notice that!
Good catch 👍
Dave Gibbons’ work on Watchmen. Arguably some of the best and most iconic comic art of all time; combining realistic anatomy with comic book simplicity (plus some of the best colouring ever)
Can we address the fact that Stephen King is trolling his son since he was born with that name. XD
I always LOVE when I see these videos in my inbox! I'd be SO happy if during a segment in one of these kinds of videos you were to react to the artwork of Paru Itagaki
General question for the group:
In your experience, can good artwork help a book with bad writing? Could good writing help a book with bad artwork?
Sometimes. While Jim Lee's artwork is breathtaking, All Star Batman and Robin is... REALLY bad.
Im new to this channel and you inspire me to draw , animate, and everything ♥
Keep it up ☆☆
That’s so awesome! Thank YOU! 😁😁😁
Sui Ishida the creator of Tokyo Ghoul and Tokyo Ghoul: RE
Yep I’m hoping he will look at him and some more manga artists
@@MadnessXMedia ive commented about sui ishida almost every episode 😅 hopfully he'll cover some more manga artists soon
nathan poole I’ve commented Sui Ishida on some but I’ve commented Atsushi Ohkubo (which I wonder if he will like the art or not since soul eater is so abstract) and Tite Kubo (Bleach)
@@MadnessXMedia yeah theyre art styles are awesome! would also like him to review my hero acadamia, its a very nice style
nathan poole I agree MHA would be great
You should really looked up some of Kouta Hirano's works, he have some strange but interesting style with his Hellsing and Drifters
I love the editing when you highlight things in drawings.
Ooh ooh do Livio Ramondelli! I think his drawings are subpar but his colouring is SO VERY ATMOSPHERIC!
Batman: Dude, I feel like destroying my shoulder.
Catwoman: You Idiot.
Kind of like, in "Death In The Family", when he tried to punch Superman and Superman told him "if I hadn't have rolled with that punch you would've crippled yourself".
You should react to Jhonen Vasquez! If you don't already know, he's the creator of Invader Zim, as well as several comics like Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, I Feel Sick (spin-off of Jthm), Squee (another spin-off), and others. He has a really unique style that I honestly take after a lot, with things like extremely thin bodies and large eyes that pop out of the head. It's a pretty weird style, but it's honestly really good (despite the fact that he literally has a book called the Bad Art Collection lmao).
Your analysis skills are getting better and I really noticed it in this video.
You should check out some of Kohei Horikoshi's stuff
Definitely good call! Almost did for Manga episode but ran out of time
heck yea
@@PopCross Fun side note! Horikoshi is a fan of superheroes and he also did some fanart if his own. He has a great spiderman fanart!
I love you to do an episode dedicated to other Heavy Metal/Metal Hurlant artists (i.e.Enki Bilal, Tanino Liberatore, Richard Corben, Marco Turini, etc.)
Snotgirl is definitely now on my radar! I remember reading Seconds in middle school, the frame you showed of the basement really brought me back! It was my favorite panel, I'd look at it for a while before I even thought to move on. Always thought I had missed something.
"We like da moon
Cos it is close to us
and buy quiznos subs"
- Batman, Injustice
Love this series, and this episode is done so so well! Thank you also for highlighting the artists as best as possible, and also discussing reasons for any possible "bad" art. Also, you mention "archangel" on one cool page layout, but you were confused by his eyebeam. This is because it isn't archangel, bit rather the character "Mimic". Mimic has the ability to copy any power or skill from anyone or any mutant close to him.
I'm really enjoying this series! You have a genuine passion for your craft and it makes your videos fascinating to watch!
Nice video Popcross Studios! I can’t wait for your next video.
great video! i love hearing your input on the art and how it’s good and what they do
You should draw something from the mandolorian
I’m trying to plan some content around that! Loving the show!
Awesome!!! Im currently working in my own Mando piece
in case you wanted to know how deep the Jean Giraud / Moebius influence is - he was there when Jodorowsky was prepping to do his doomed Dune movies, he created the spacesuits for Alien, the tron suits and environments for Tron (some of which were done by Syd Mead, but Giraud is all over them). His DNA is interspersed with so much of our sci-fi pop culture, it's amazing.
The best series of this channel, make more videos like this please!
With the Injustice Batman image, even just knowing (from the updated image) that it's meant to be closed eyes with tears coming out rather than open eyes looking down made the whole thing read a lot better.
I've seen everyone of "illustrator reacts" and I've really enjoyed every episode and I gotta say that there are 2 artists that I really wanna hear your opinion on. 1 is an artist I find one of the most euneack today which is Jhonen Vasquez. And one of my personal favorites who doesn't do comic art per say but is extremely beautiful "nogi san" (I have no idea what her full name is) keep up the good work man!
Good inspiration. As a Hendrix fan looking for some wall art but being sick to death of the standard obvious Hendrix photo posters I feel like this Moebius cliff painting make some great wall art.
Yeah I was looking at the face and was like that’s Hendrix right... right?
A great example of the use of panels is the Spanish comic 13, Rue del Percebe by Francisco Ibáñez. It is always shown multiple short stories & puns from the same perspective of the same building. The viewer is the one who choose the order of the panels.
I would love to see you look at Boichi's work, he is an incredible artist
His work on Sun Ken Rock is worth being checked out. That one image of a soda can being smashed with a baseball bat.
Yessss
I love how you explain stuff. Great job. 👍
Like your work on juggernaut in the background. One of my fav characters would like to see you draw more of him in various actions, poses, and battles
Would love to see you do some James Stokoe art. I think he's one of the most underrated guys out there. Shades of Moebius and classic cartoons, insane detail. His panel layouts have always been super awesome. I still go back and read Orc Stain occasionally.
I highly recommend checking out Jock's work. He's done everything from horror series like Wytches to Batman comics like The Batman Who Laughs and The Black Mirror! His art has a really gothic nature to it!
Hope he does a video on Fighting game characters color palette and the many alternate colors.
Kingdom is a beautiful under rated masterpiece that I would recommend, and I am offended that u haven't talked about one
piece since its the world's 3rd best selling comic ever and it's still going.
"If you're not familiar with Moebius"
Wait what ? Is that even possible ?
Yea if you're american..
Really enjoy this series. Keep em coming
Waited for this! Enjoyed and learned a lot! :D
You should check out art in the sandman overture. It's totally mind blowing
Love the Good and Bad Comic Book Art, keep up the good work!
@PopCross Studios, great to see some love for Moebius here. JG is the possibly the biggest unnamed influence in art style for so many things and The Incal, I mean you cannot find anything to contrast it with in the mainstream without getting into Jodorowsky.
Thank you for covering Moebius! Looking forward to more videos.
There’s a webcomic called “Room of Swords” it has some cool art
Frank Quitely's All-Star Superman work was like one big Moebius tribute
Gabriel Bá and Fabio Moon are both great, the subtle differences in their art for Daytripper is amazing
Could you do Alex Milne and/or Nick Roche? They both have done amazing art on some of the best Transformers comics out there.
YES! Someone actually talking about "Seconds" I loved that book. Read it in one sitting 😂
Fun fact: Mike Deodato's name is not Mike, Just Deodato Jr. He adopted this name because it's easier to americans to pronounce (having in mind he's Brazilian)
Just realized I didn’t have the bell on! Anyway, look at some Ethan van Sciver artwork, especially his green lantern and flash work. His splash pages are second to none!
sean murphy's art from the bat man white knight/curse of the white knight series is some of the best ive seen in a hot minute
A few requests I'd love to see you talk about: Dustin Nguyen, James Stokoe, and Hiroaki Samura.
Yessss!! Been waiting for this!! Thanks Dad!
Kevin O'Neil's work on The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is definitely worth checking out
I really enjoy the art in Absolute Carnage (2019), Descender (2018) and of course anything from Sandman if any of those tickle your fancy. Awesome series!
I always come here for new awesome comic recommendations
I would love to see you react to Atsushi Ohkubo's artwork. He's the creator of the Soul Eater and fire force mangas.
He has a unique style that I could only describe as: quirky but twisted.
Sienkiewicz drew like Neal Adams when he started out in comics... then he developed his own unique style. I've always been a fan of his.
If you like that first image you showed from "Seconds" you should take a look at Spanish artist Francisco Ibañez series "13, Rue del Percebe". Basically, the whole comic series is the concept of that image. Every page shows a building with the front wall missing and you can see what happens inside the different apartments, with one gag happening in each single apartment. The idea is brilliant and it's a lot of fun.
It's Bill SinKEVitch.
Moon Knight was pre-New Mutants. He began far more a standard/solid artist, then about halfway thru the run he just exploded. The latter part of the run is just astounding.
18:47 ComicTropes covered Locke & Key for Halloween this year and brought up that Rodriguez is an architect hence Key House looking so good.
I just got a Locke & Key comic and felt exactly like you about character design in there. But I also feel proud of Rodriguez being Chilean myself too. He's way better at buildings, perspective, etc, I guess because was an architect before he jumped into illustration and comics.
I would really really highly reccommend Chris Samnee and Walt Simonson! Samnee for his just incredible inking process and Walt Simonson... Well... Just look at it!
I remember loving the scott pilgrim series when I was in middle school, I honestly wanna read that series again
Also who's watching in 2021
I'm so much more used to reading manga that I didn't see any problem with the page layout example until I realized I was reading right to left XD
That Batman drawing looks like what araki would draw, it really reminded me of Esidisi's crying face
Oh god! As soon as I got that discord notification I clicked of my game and came here as fast as I can
Oh wow! That’s dedication! Hope it’s worth it!!! 😃😃😃
PopCross Studios yup been a fan for a while,and this video is going to be worth it
Yup im the same. These videos never come out quick enough. Especially now that he does manga sometimes too.
I think the hollow pupils on those eyes makes them look so odd. We're used to seeing pupils as "black holes". Interesting!
Chris! Would you consider doing animal combinations? For example I’ve done an art piece of a monster that had the torso, head and arms of a gorilla, and bottom half of a snake. People had called it a “gorillaconda”! Haha. I’d LOVE to see what your rendition would look like!
You should talk about Steve ditko and Clayton Crain and Ryan stegman
All great calls! I’ll keep them in mind!
Yet another great episode! I know you're drowning in recommendations/requests already, but I really hope you take a look at Ivan Reis' work. His pencils (and, honestly, every single other person on that creative team) for Blackest Night is easily one of my personal high watermarks for detail combined with breadth in comics. Still one of the best-looking books I've ever read.
Hey, you listened to my suggestion about Moebius. Thanks brother!
Clayton Crain, check out his Rai series or his Ghost Rider: Trails of Tears or his Venom/Carnage series. He does all the art himself. He starts with almost a black image and works up with lighter and lighter contrast.
I think a comic that surprised me with its layout was Arkham Asylum A Serious House On Serious Earth. The page of joker basically opening the door to the asylum shouldn't work but because of the circumstances and story presented in the comic it does even though when you look at it for the first time you may think its just weird or bad. You should check it out in one of your videos both for the art and the layout of the panels.
The combo of Russell Dauterman and Matt Wilson would some awesome art for you to check out
A great artist to look at for a manga episode would be Norihiro Yagi author of Angel Densetsu and Claymore. Some really amazing art in both series.
The monsters in Claymore, especially the awakened ones and Abyssal Ones, were amazing. And while Angel Densetsu's art was rougher it really stands out with how the MC was drawn.
11:43 That's Mimic or Cal if you want to call him by his regular name. If I'm not mistaken he can use up to five different mutants powers at once. His usual power set is that of the OG X-Men given that he's spent the most time with them and knows their powers the best.
You should talk about Masamune Shirow's Art in Appleseed Book 4: particularly the knife fight between Deunan and a group of terrorists in a collapsing building and the gunfight leading to it. It's masterfully planned and executed both spatially and in the illusion of movement.
PLEASE REVIEW INIO ASANO'S ART!
Oyasumi Punpun is some of my favorite art, the way he clashes surreal imagery with stark realism is amazing.
