Koa Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) Looks like Frank has been drawing again. Rob Pistella also has a recent FM batman piece in his gallery that's reminiscent of his Ronin days. I know his recent artwork has rubbed many people the wrong way but I think it's pretty strong stuff. this Elektra makes me realize how much I'd love for Frank to return to her for another story. http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=1295186&GSub=172962 Edited February 19, 2016 by Koa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Baru Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Guess you missed the ones comic sketch art has up like this one. http://www.shop.comicsketchart.com/Frank-Miller-Elektra-20x30-Commission-SKU-9697-9697.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormboy Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I too love seeing new (to me) Miller art! The drawing is pretty solid, but the nipples on Elektra ruin every one of these for me. Seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously. I love all the extra hair and curls Frank is including on these Elektra pieces, it really helps the overall look quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously. To each his own, i guess. After his health issues it's really cool to see Frank is doing art again especially featuring Elektra, I love his Sin City on style of drawing and always hoped he return to hell's kitchen one more time (at least) as an artist/writer (I loved his DD:visionaries covers) but if he does draw more comics I expect they'll be Sin City or DC books so these art pieces are a wonderful treat. hope he does some Daredevil stuff.

wormboy Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Don't get me wrong, I'll take (view not buy) any and all new art from Frank - he's my favorite comic artist. I've enjoyed all of his phases (even defending his current look in a recent thread). And these Elektra sketches are 20 x 30! So great to have on the wall! Just the nipples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called "style" Malvin You can call it style, but if FM's name wasn't attached to that art you would think it was a joke. That right hand and joker chin/smile are inexcusable, even for a legend.

Sorry, just my honest opinion. I forgot to include the smiley face/tongue sticking out emoticon when I said "style" Malvin Miller's name only has value because many people find value in his work. It's self expression. miller intentionally makes the artistic choices he does, the exaggerations or intentional ugliness in order to evoke a response in the viewer. There is a more basic quality to his line that i think could be attributed to his sever health issues over the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the nipples yeah, I don't see the big deal. we all have them and in light clothing they might be visible. I should have been more clear. I don't mind nipples in general, in fact I love them. These are the size of the Kingpins great toe. That's what bothers me. But enough about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, just my honest opinion. i'm with you. never been a fan of his art style. i understand the man is a legend and all , but to me his art is not aesthetically pleasing what so ever.

JasonDaTwit Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Personally, I prefer the art and storytelling of a younger Frank Miller than what I currently see from the man. Other than SIN CITY, I don't like anything else he has done. The rough art fits the world of his crime series but looks awkward anywhere else.

vodou Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 ...but looks awkward anywhere else. I'd love to see Marv "visit" Riverdale. Just Marv by Miller, all the rest by whoever is doing Archie books these days (classic style though, not that new weird hipster look!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadeGiant Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Do these sell? Are there people lining up to drop $10K for these? I am obviously not the demographic for this art as I can’t get my head around the price for what you get but I have to presume that there is a market but I am having a hard time understanding who it would be. I enjoyed Miller’s early DC and Marvel work but this does not stand up in my eyes. Are the die hard FM fans rushing to buy these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
