As for the characters, at least at some point he actually creates an original drawing before re-using it. As M.D. said in an earlier post, the backgrounds and other objects are not drawings at all and never were! They are just photos altered with Photoshop. That's why the backgrounds are so static- he CAN'T change the camera angle unless he has a differnt angle photo of the object or the room! It literally IS ColorForms!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30511112.post-69239686946865488302008-01-24T15:05:00.000-06:002008-01-24T15:05:00.000-06:00I think the problem is that DC keeps paying him fo...I think the problem is that DC keeps paying him for 'work' like this.Dwayne "the canoe guy"https://www.blogger.com/profile/05434021701274164909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30511112.post-19254433097003227082008-01-24T14:49:00.000-06:002008-01-24T14:49:00.000-06:00It's weird--his art has been stupid like this for ...It's weird--his art has been stupid like this for his DC work, but I don't remember having any problem with his art on the Annihilation: Silver Surfer series a year ago.
