Hi Busted---color, yeah, I guess you see what I mean. Well-chosen flat colors would have been better than all those odd colors and blends and pink skies and so on. What a waste. Colored in a factory.
Which is why I don't draw comics for places like DC anymore, and will only do comics where I can control the color and so on. It takes too much effort to draw and ink the whole thing only to have it butchered in the color stage..heartbreaking, and happens every day in the mainstream dying comics biz as it is oddly conducted today...
Heavy lines: sometimes they're from experimenting...sometimes from clumsiness...who knows. Just trying to be bold. I guess I've tried different things on different covers. Overall I'm just not into hyper-rendered color treatments on comics stuff, for the most part, I find it usualy fights against rather than adds to...what I love about comics is the fact that they're cartoons, not renderings.
One of these days I'll do something all with just flat colors, like the Europeans do...
Warren, yes, if a colorist doesn't bother to read the story and understand it and also doesn't know how to help tell the story with the color...then disaster usually ensues.
In my opinion there are some excellent colorists working now though, for example Trish Mulvihill and Dave Stewart, those are two who come to mind, they both do beautiful color work AND know how to augment what the artist has done, how to help tell the story clearly. They also know when to stop, which many colorists don't.
