Favortie/Disliked Tales of TMNT Artist
 
I was wondering who everyones Favorite and disliked Tales artist. Since Tales uses someone different for each issue.
So far my favorite is Dan Berger. His art is so awesome I like it alot! The turtles look perfect in his style.
And the artist I dont like at all is Jim Lawson. His art just doesnt appeal to me. The people look ugly and I dont like the way he draws turtles.

Who are yours?

The guy who did Worms of Madness was my favorite. It was a nice change of pace in artistic style. and he drew a pretty mean Shredder-monster.

And my least favorite is Jim Lawson. His turtles look great but his humans are very amateurish-looking. And his Splinter looks rediculous. I don't mind him on volume 4, I can live with just one Jim Lawson title, but I think Tales should be around to showcase different talent.

(Note that I've only read issues one through seven at this point)

My favorite artist so far would have to be Dario Brizuela, the guy who did the art for #1. Really clean and stylish work. Truly a breath of fresh air.

Least favorite is Rick Remender. His pencils were pretty good (He posted them a long time ago on this forum), but the inks were so unbelievably messy that I had a hard time just looking at the pages. I think the inks were done by someone else so I'm not sure if it's fair to list Remender as least favorite, but the point remains that I didn't like the art at all.

I'm also still trying really hard to like Jim Lawson's art, but I just can't. His TMNT don't look too bad, but his people and pretty much everything else look, well, terrible to be quite honest. It's like the guy doesn't care. His earlier works looked far better so I know he has the skill, but I just can't feel the love here.

I liked Rick Remender's work quite a bit.

i think Lawson's style has degenerated...I liked CAW..I was just looking at it this morning, and noticed how bad it's gotten today..
I wish Dooney would take over, I like his alot better.

I'm not really a connaisseur, but I think it takes an acquired taste to appreciate Lawson's art. All my friends and family members would gawk in horror everytime I show them the current TMNT comics. I understand how they feel and I do feel that Lawson could make those humans more appealing.

If there was an artist who, I wish, should make a comeback, it's Eric Talbot. I read many of his stories and I really like his style. It's reminiscent of Lawson's very early style, which is why I like it. And he also handles facial expressions very well!
If he can't, then Dan Berger could also fill in, as his style is very similar to Eric Talbot's.

I think Lawson's work requires a different style of inking is all. It is a bit lapse but I can see some great pencil work ruined by sparse use of ink, very unlike the old Lawson issues.

My favourite Tales artist so far is Dario Brizuela

My least favourite is Rick Remender. Not that he was bad, I just didn't like the style much. I didn't like the look of the turtles or Splinter. Plus, I wasn't too impressed with the cheap story idea. I don't really feel it fits in with the continuity - read RTNY and then that.

I think Michael Dooney is my fav :D

Have you ever seen Lawson's artwork in Return to New York? Pretty badass stuff.

I really like the series in general. But my favorite is Dario Brizuela, because his art is very clean. I don't really have a least favorite, as i liked ll of the artists in each of the books.

Sabacooza 07-11-2005 01:50 PM

I like A.C. Farley's work. Didn't seem to do too much comic interior work just mostly covers.

Buslady 07-11-2005 01:54 PM

Lawson sucks. He used to be really good, now he sucks poopie.
Dooney Rocks. Always has, always will.
Talbot is cool too.
Berger's are cute ^.^

Yay for maturity :roll:

On topic, Bergers' been around long enough that he needs to start drawing comics more enough :)

Everyone who likes Berger's work please check out the book he did called Gutwallow. He needed support but never got it and he had to cancel the book, still really good though.

Berger is my favorite from Tales, but I like pretty much everyone else's work too. Though some here hated the issue with the cats, I kinda liked it and Lawson's style worked well for it. As long as he only does a few issues at a time I'm totally cool with Lawson doing work on Tales.

MrPliggins 07-12-2005 07:43 AM

I dont think Lawson should leave TMNT vol 4..so far every issue is his art and it would be very jarring if it changed. I think his work has evolved over the years and his humans have become more stylized. Some of my favorite artists on Tales are Chris Allan and Dan Berger..and I don't think there are any I don't like yet.

darthsmozers 07-12-2005 08:49 AM

Chris Allen all the way.

Gemma 07-13-2005 01:48 PM

I like Dario Brizuela's artwork, like everyone says, it's clean.

Issue 13's front cover is a little strange, I don't know who the artist for that but the square head style doesn't look quite right to me.

cqb101 07-13-2005 02:03 PM

Dario Brizuela, and Chris Allen are my favorite, and Jim lawson is by far my least favorite.

Benito 07-17-2005 08:19 AM

Jim Lawsons my least Favourite
D'Israel is my Favourite so far.

Jephael 07-20-2005 08:25 AM

Dan Berger is by far my favorite artist and writer of the series!
