Chris Christie!
Stooges - my thoughts exactly. Or some lazy backyard WWF shit.
He’s basically Peter Pan, and “the title role of Peter Pan in the musical is usually played by a woman.”
Yeah, this just looks like more of the same.
They weren’t playing at peak hours - it looks like around 30 well coordinated players were sending inputs.
I agree that they’re technically accomplished. I’d also argue that art without passion is merely emulation, not creation.
My wish, is that instead of publishing unoriginal mashups, these artists would find inspiration in the materials they enjoy, and create their own original works (in which case including visual…
Haha! I mistook your initial comment for a calm dismissal of praise. Disney mashups require proficiency in Adobe Creative suite, but they aren’t the most inspired, innovative works of art.
Haha! Really though, his original concept art was more SOLDIER meets Edward Scissorhands than dispassionate thrift-store bandit.
Good call! By process of elimination, this art institute graduate’s eventual Barrett will take the form of that creature whose name is apparently Baymax, which actually sounds like the name of a Barrett limit break.
Aye! Stop feeding art institute graduates who think that Disney crossovers (or the Disneyfication of pre-existing characters) are creative. Technical skills alone do not make quality art - quality art requires at least some innovative, personalized touch (among other things), and that simply isn’t present here.
Who’s this random hipster?
You’ve never met someone who was naturally, effortlessly creative, and talented beyond their years? Shelley’s early works concerned love, as any 18 year old’s works will, and while he might have been inexperienced in love, as any 18 year old is, his writing was eloquent, and his ability to convey precise imagery with…
Techniques can be taught, but while a person’s innate creativity can be liberated, it cannot be increased, because creativity is ultimately linked to intuition. Without a high level of intuition, one will be hard pressed to successfully identify viable and innovative elements of design and narration, or draw those…
Otacon!?
Couldn’t just use insulation tape, or anything less hideous?
I said nothing of the sort. I’ll admit, I’m not familiar with Marvel’s new line, and my familiarity with these DC titles comes from articles such as these. I’m not saying Marvel is exempt from making the same mistakes, but I will say based on appearances (and their success at the box office with movies featuring…
Who has all the mythos and appeal of... an average cop.
Well, they’ve got to compete with Marvel somehow, but this just isn’t going to do it. Who would’ve guessed that Marvel would be the company to successfully incorporate emerging societal shifts while maintaining narrative integrity and steadily improving the quality of their franchises? I guess it makes absolute sense,…
I agree. If you read the rest of my comments on this thread, you’ll see that. However, a good portion of the stylistic choices were made in an effort to appeal to millenials (of which I am one), and I believe that focusing primarily on capturing that style (which is often nebulous, complicated, self-involved, arguably…
