Very interesting. But am I wrong? Maybe it's just his style on Spider-Man that I couldn't stomach because for me it just was too noisy and the anatomy was goofy.

Maybe it's just his style on Spider-Man that I couldn't stomach because for me it just was too noisy and the anatomy was goofy. It's your opinion I think McFarlane's Spider-man is pretty jacked.... with a gymnast physique. I don't see any way in which he looks like a 120 lb beanpole... that was something that others did before McFarlane. I also don't think he draws clown feet, but he does draw Spidey with a longer, and somewhat narrow foot, which certainly can make it look longer than it actually is I imagine. I also think a good portion of your perception could be due to the fact that you so often see his feet from odd angles, which can perhaps make it harder to judge (see below). So, longer than probably necessary, but not giant clown feet. I've also seen McFarlane draw exaggerated facial expressions, but I'd say that is not the norm, but instead a stylistic choice for a certain scene.

Silver Surfer Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I'm sure I could drag out a 100 examples of his size 0 waist line. That is one of the better images but he was sure fond of the foot forward is too many panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seemed to be suggesting his Spider-man was a 120 lb physique, that was the main thing that made me scratchy my head. Feel free to pull out some examples of that - the new software is much more image friendly, so that's one plus for the upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Surfer Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Maybe its a generational thing because I grew up with Ross Andru, Gil Kane and this: For me his work is just plain old ugly in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always liked the 238 cover as well, but the head of hobby is way too far forward. His back is fairly upright and then he's got his head sloping down on a giraffe neck.

Hobby is crouching on his flying sled thingie, so I think the pose/head is ok, but getting back to first poster of the image...it's 100% Marvel House (of) Style 1980s edition. Nothing wrong with that, but that's where you get new styles from --- artists that think outside the box, do things differently. Frenz will never be accused of that! Do any of us not want that to happen (anti-Frenz if you will ha ha), just the same old same old with slightly updated polish? (And for the record: I like Frenz art and don't "much" like McFarlane, but it has it's place and I'd probably add a piece if they weren't nutty $$).

Bronty Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I know he's on his sled... but I still think you have to shift his head up a half inch for it to work. Good points about new styles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SquareChaos Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I've always been a fan of that cover (I have a 9.6 that looks identical to that one), but I've also always wondered where the heck that was taking place - some featureless purple speed-line void with a slab of astroturf.
