August 28, 2018 9:36 am Conner you mentioned that all the revision3 shows had been pulled, that sucks. I came across them a few months ago on archive.org episodes 1-182 were all there. I think they still are.

He is still drawing his characters, he is probably using a wacom tablet to draw and color in photoshop or some other software. He is using layers of textures, photos, drawing, and who knows what else to make his art. Personally I like his earlier work. It just has a better feel to it.

September 22, 2010 11:05 am @ActualButt: You make a good point. In any other creative field you would be fired for plagiarism. There is a very fine line between referencing something and stealing it out right.

It has been said that the process of the work is not important. But the final piece. With that being said I don't think it is eithicly right to completly transpose your drawing style on top of a copyrighted photograph or movie still or another artist's illustration.

 With the final piece being important. If you look at Ross's work he has great layouts in his book, big beautiful spreads, etc. If you look at Land's final pieces they look awful. Characters looking different panel to panel. In big spreads the characters are just scattered around with no real direction to them. I could go on but I won't.

In the end it comes down to personal preference. If you like the look of the book buy it. If you don't like the look don't buy it.
