Check Out My Comic Book Art!

Thanks so much... Do you think I should start posting some actual pics on here, or should I wait until I have some time to do some wrestling related stuff? Not sure how "into" comics most members here are.

Thanks... New here, so I just saw the Graphic Design header and went with it.

Thanks so much... Believe me, I have tried! I have been turned down by the best of them... repeatedly... lol

Wow - amazing stuff! You're really talented.

I have been to every convention you can think of as both attendees and on artists alley and had no luck. I have tried it all! lol I have drawers full of rejection letters including, my personal favorite (I have it framed) a seven page rejection letter from Marvel where the submissions editor completely ripped me a new one. They found fault in everything I did.

You name it... They hated it! lol
They ripped my "anatomy", and I will admit, my artwork isn't spot on phto-realistic, but it's comics!... Why should comics be so textbook correct? It's not like I am doing medical diagrams or anything... lol
Theye even went as far as to suggest some anatomy books I could check out and study
My "attention to detail" was brought up as they felt I didn't put enough detail into my work. It's funny that detail was a big part of my rejection as I have, at least, 6 Spiderman comics in my possession now where the large spider on his back has only six legs! I thought spiders had 8!? That's one "detail" that must have been missed.
It just went on and on. They said I didn't differentiate my pencil lines enough between different textures such as transitions from skin to fabric. They said my backgrounds were weak. They said my facial expressions and details were not as strong as they should be.
Then, the last page of this opus was them telling me that my work resembles Todd McFarlane's a little too much. I will admit that I was greatly influenced by McFarlane, so yeah, I guess I do take some of his process and incorporate it into mine. His work on Spiderman is what got me back into comics years ago, so I guess I have borrowed from his style. Is that so wrong though? Hell, the guy sold millions upon millions of copies of books. If resembling another artists' style keeps artists from working at the large companies, then no one in the 90s would have had a job. Jim Lee's style was borrowed by everyone.
Those are just some of the things that were mentioned.
Thanks for the kind words regarding my work by the way... again, truly appreciated.

Agree with JDav here.

Especially considering the variety of art styles you see across comics, you'd think reviewers were more open to adaptation and interpretation.

I love Todd McFarlane's work, have you ever tried Image or Dark Horse?

Thanks... I have never liked Liefield either.
