Boxing Comics: Comic Art Ethics

[robwright]

This week's installment of Boxing Comics deals with the old Greg Land controversy and Marvel's misleading cover art.

Actually getting the two, scaling to the same size, and overlaying them, it is blatently NOT tracing.

About those two links with the fading images... copy the image, take the individual frame/layer, remove the "fades" and the images don't match up.

Same for each example in the collage cover. Super similar, but the lines don't match up.

Lines don't match = not tracing.

responsible reporting = facts.

try it.

Really?

They don't match?

You mean her left arm (including where her elbow sticks out), her right hand, the bracelets, the necklaces, her cleavage, the shape of her feet under the shawl, the little star disc at her waist don't match?

Really...

p0wned...

He didn't pwn anything.

lines don't match on the arm, the shoulder, the knee and several other places.

nice "blurry" overlay too, hides the inconsistancies with everyone's claims.

I know several artist who can recreate much more accurately without tracing.

If he were tracing, there would be copyright issues involved and he'd be out of a job faster than you can troll these forums.
