| I kind of like that Supergirl, not for $3k though. There have been threads about this before. His style has always been sketchy, loose and chaotic and he's about 20 years outside his prime. I like his work on Ronin & 300 as much as anything. Sin City and DKR too, but to a lesser extent. |

| I think it's pretty sweet. He's gone to a more abstract/exaggerated style. At first I didn't care for his work on DK III but then I saw it recolored and I completely changed my mind. | ||

| I hate these threads. I'm getting a Miller Daredevil sketch cover done next month and I'm nervous. My plan is to have Klaus Janson ink it. Janson has years of experience inking and refining Miller's pencils so my fingers are crossed. The quality of the work will determine if I keep it or not lol. | ||

| Hey to each his own. Im not telling others to hate it, but seriously i couldbt get passed how ugly it is to me. It might be me though, so no offense to anyone who does like it. I use to love his art but it looks less appealing to me. | ||

| Yeah his work is hit or miss these days. The prices people are asking for them is unreal. It's MUCH cheaper to just have one made yourself. Maybe the high price comes from you will already know if it turned out good or not. | ||

| Osteoarthritis - just look at his older work compared to now. Not saying that he has it - just that it fits the difference/change in style. | ||

| I only like Miller's use of perspective and light. I've never thought he was a good artist. Most of the art I did like was carried by the inking. If Miller retired today, I'd smile. I don't really even care for the misogynistic nature of his writing. | ||

| Miller has no plans to retire. He is working on Xerxes (the prequel to 300), and he has hinted at a DKIV. | ||

| Frank Miller is a Legendary Comic Book Icon NO DOUBT! But I never considered him as an elite artist. I agree that often times the ink work carried the load. His appeal and popularity has always come from his provocative writing and Story telling. |

| Art is such a matter of taste. I try not to be particularly critical. I've always enjoyed Miller's storytelling more than his art. Especially starting in the mid 80's and then definitely put on display with The Dark Knight Returns, his art just got both really "sketchy" and very dark and heavily inked. But his storytelling skills continually improved My tastes in comic book art run more to clean strong lines and distinct images. When I see choppy art that looks unfinished, stylistic images where facial features aren't clear or anatomy is inaccurate I'm always wondering "is the artist striving for a certain style or that simply the best they can draw?" So about the Supergirl image in question. Miller is trying to look like Miller. I get that. Could Miller draw a clean and bold and anatomically correct Supergirl like Adam Hughes or Neal Adams IF HE WANTED TO? Because I'm pretty sure Adams or Hughes could sketch something left handed in 60 seconds that looked like this. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Logan510 Popularity doesn't equal quality or greatness. The Pussy Cat Dolls sold over 6 million albums, AND won several awards. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone who considers them to be serious artists. I believe Miller's work, like any artist in comics, to be hit and miss. His best days are behind him, and it seems the best he can do is rehash old storylines. One of things that made Miller great in his heyday is the fact he would take B-List characters and take big chances with them. He stopped taking chances, and in the process he lost the one thing that really made him great. |

Quote:Originally Posted by OrbitCityComics Wasn't arguing about Millers greatness brah. He said his appeal and popularity came from his writing and storytelling and that's just revisionist hogwash. He was a VERY popular artist...popular enough that Marvel used him as a go to cover artist and he was voted the Comic Buyers Guide fan awards Favorite Artist in 1982 ( when those awards carried some weight ). |
