Solar Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Indistinguishable characters? Characters growing and then losing facial hair from one panel to the next (or was that supposed to be shading?)?

Impossible perspective? 2"x4" original art pages? +1 Adlard's art had absolutely no positive effect on the popularity of the book. That was 100% Kirkman (and, IMO, WD succeeds IN SPITE OF Adlard's art) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThoseBackPages Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 i do not care for Riley's art work, pretty much EVERY face in Bedlam looks the same, male, female, doesnt matter. people can bag on Adlard all they want, but it's been 103+ straight issues now of WD out now with only him doing the drawing.

Solar Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 103 issues of $hitty art. Quantity does not equal quality. I can't even find words to describe how much better I think Riley is than Adlard. You're free to love him of course, but if you're going to bag on Riley, than I'm certainly going to express my dumbfoundedness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThoseBackPages Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 it was more of a statement about consistency. i realize that Riley wasnt asked to leave Bedlam, but he is gone none the less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjeanius Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) it was more of a statement about consistency. i realize that Riley wasnt asked to leave Bedlam, but he is gone none the less ...? 1.) I have no idea what relevance this has to the quality of the art in question. So...you're saying you would rather have consistently crappy art for 9 years rather than a smaller body of quality work? 2.) Unless you have specific factual information on Riley's departure, please don't speculate that Riley is somehow "unreliable" because he left the book. Trust me on this one: You have no idea what your are talking about here. Edited May 3, 2013 by jjeanius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThoseBackPages Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 i never mentioned that he was unreliable. i said he is no longer on the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThoseBackPages Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 not meaning to derail the thread. ive said it since the beginning of this thread that i do not care for the artwork. The Story on the other hand, i do like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK then, I guess you are correct...Adlard's crappy art certainly is more consistent! (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vikingreed Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I love Rossmo's art, and think his style was made for Bedlam. Crushed me when I heard he was leaving the book... I'll keep reading, but I really liked the fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
