Yes everyone knows about that. Nothing new. Rob has adressed that before and apologized. lmao.

I realize there are probably alot more people out there who love to hate him and I cant change that. Im sure there are tons of people out there who think Tmnt is just the dumbest thing in the world. We cant change it so Oh well. I like him and tons of other people do as well. He sold tons of books. And hes still doing what he does. But yes that cap is horrid. But as an artist,There are MUCH worse out there. Not the best but certainly does not get the respect he much deserves.

If I met him at comicon, I'd ask him to draw me Boob-Cap.

Anyway...I like Oliver Copiel, Older Humberto Ramos, Joe Mad, Bryan Hitch, and John Romita jr, when he was doing earlier runs of ASM. Now? He just draws wrinkly block heads.

Not familiar with the other two offhand.

Michael Turner back in the 90s when he started on the Witchblade.

Stan Sakai.

May come back and add more, those are off the top of my head.

Yeah I think Ponce has done 2 issues of Tmnt regular run. And he did The F.F comic that was in the U.K. I think. Awesome dude.

Yeah Michael Dooney I think has the most well rounded Turtles of all. He is probably the best Tmnt artist IMO. Kinda the definitive Tmnt artist.

I once read one of his issues and thought it was a story where Hammerhead took over the universe and made everyone look like him.

Dan Jurgens is probably my sentimental favorite. Not as flashy as some, but there's nobody he can't draw (and between DC, Marvel and Image, he probably HAS drawn every major character). There's a reason he was doing like 1/3 of DC's big books in the early 90s, and all those promotional posters.

John Byrne was masterful in the 80s. He's hit-or-miss sometimes but his Superman run was a classic (why do you think fans sh*t a brick every time someone tries to retcon that era away?)

Jim Lee should be the official Batman artist... but he can't, because he's too damn slow.

For photo-realism, nobody beats Alex Ross. I'm in awe every time I see his stuff.

Neal Adams is a hero to many for a lot more than the fact that his Batman is the one folks copied all through the 70s and 80s; he's also a huge champion for creators' rights.

If you saw a Batman drawing in the 80s, more than likely it was drawn by Jim Aparo.

Ethan Van Sciver has this amazing attention for nuance and detail (some of his faces are kinda ugly, though). Every page looks like it took weeks to do.

Scott Shaw! has always been the king of "funny animal" books like Captain Carrot and Sonic The Hedgehog. Scoff if you must, it's hard to draw that simple and make it look good.

I used to love Greg Laroque (think I spelled it wrong) on The Flash back in the early 90s. "The Return Of Barry Allen" is one of my favorite stories ever; the despair Wally feels when he feels his mentor has turned evil is visually palpable.

Ed McGuinness grew on me. At first it was too over the top and stylized, but I like how clean it is. Wouldn't work on everything, but it's a style perfectly suited for "big-action" stuff (like the first 6 issues of Superman/Batman).

I could go on and on but those are the main ones I like.

I know not everyone here likes Liefeld, but heres a Turtle he drew . I love it. I love the different styles people use when drawing the Tmnt.

Neat. That's an interesting take on a Ninja Turtle. At least there's no muscled plastron... which I ****ing hate, in any medium.

*Samhain* · 02-26-2010, 11:39 AM

Yeah, remids me a little of how Mcfarlane draws the turtles. I love to see each artist's take on them.
