adamstrange Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 This past weekend at the Toronto Comicon I found this for her...she LOVES covers with green dresses so needless to say she is very happy with it! I'd love the cover even if she didn't have the green dress on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cimm Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 (edited) a few of my favourite GGA covers... did some photoshopping to them, so I could make them into posters for my wall... Edited August 25, 2008 by Cimm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I found a couple more Baker covers on line. Unfortunately they are not romance but I like them. The first several issues of Authentic Police Cases had costumed super heroes but not Baker. Then he started doing covers and finally some stories. I think there are a couple of nice stories in issue 11 but none in 8 although the cover is really nice. bb The color is slightly off on the second cover. I fixed the main character but there is still a weird effect that makes the rest of the front cover seem out of focus don't you think. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I think Baker also did a feature for movie comics. The inking isn't the best but Fiction House seemed to have a lot of cooks in the kitchen. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever notice how on virtually every hand that Baker drew, the two middle fingers are together and the other two fingers are spread out. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever notice how on virtually every hand that Baker drew, the two middle fingers are together and the other two fingers are spread out. Ken Fred Astaire also used that technique when he danced. He thought it made his hands look shorter. Disney always chopped one finger off. And I guess he thought that made it easier to draw. Baker used all four fingers when the characters were holding a gun. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Svord Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Here's the third, and final, Baker story from True Love Pictorial 3.

Disney merely dropped the fourth finger. (Probably because he could.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hands don't play nearly as important a role in his St.John's work as they do in his Fiction House stories, but they serve a purpose. In his Tiger Girl and Sky Girl stories, the hands usually point you to where he wants you to look. More often than not that pointing is in service of the composition. However, he will sneak things in there. (What is the woman in the background of the Teen-Age Romances 17 cover pointing at, and why is the blonde's top hand in that position?)

Ever notice how on virtually every hand that Baker drew, the two middle fingers are together and the other two fingers are spread out. Ken Frank Miller was famous for that. I loved that he did that...it makes the character seem more elegant...more fluid. An artist that draws hands well needs to be taken with serious appreciation...that is a tough part of the body to master. R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
