Yeah, his humans were one of the things I liked the most and was surprised about the most in Tokyo Storm Warning. These here look equally good.

sorry, guess i got distrcated by all your other whining.

Raiz's human's are decent, aamzing to think we were all saying that he couldn't draw them when it came to Armada. Further proof of the editorial ineptness at DW.

I, for one, think it looks far better. Perhaps down the road IDW could do a special b&w issue. Something about uncolored art really looks beautiful to me sometimes. Still think the Decepticons from the cover look a bit bulky however.

And I still don't care for the Shockwave cover at all.

That's exactly what I said over at IDW!

I reckon they're just covering all the bases by putting out covers with different styles - if someone won't buy the mag because they don't like the cover, don't worry - here's a different cover that you may like instead.

And yeah, I was harsh. So what? IDW put those covers up there for a reason: to get feedback. If some of that is negative, at least it means we're taking an interest and not going 'meh' and just logging off.

You're right, cute panda bear and terrorize doesn't match.

I hope they use it.

Excellent. Cheers for the link.

Oh, totally. I don't mind B+W art at all and prefer it over bad or flashy colouring....many of the best comics I've ever read are B+W.
Personally, I love seeing comic pencils...I've even started collecting originals. Absolutely lovely stuff, it just draws your eye in.

Exactly. I don't think anyone has an issue with reasoned, constructive criticism. It's just whining that cannot be discussed or doesn't seem based on anything other than preconcieved prejudices that I find irrelevant and tedious to wade through.
Esp as one of my co-workers just does that constantly about seemingly everything. I walked into the office yesterday and could hear him from around the corner, mid-rant. Having to listen to it for most of the working day was tedious enough, now the fecker starts before I even sit down!

Best. Megatron. Ever.

Black and White artwork is very nice. Though the one with the Decepticon's scaring the humans didn't strike me as being by James Raiz!

Goes to show how much I notice things, doesn't it?

I change my art style from project to project. Perhaps it was a style experiment on his part.

Manchester Devil · Post by **Manchester Devil** » Sat Jun 25, 2005 8:51 pm

Probably, that or I need my eyes checked.

Why, what pattern are they normally?

I'd like a solely black and white cover. Not very stunning perhaps, but I'd buy it if the inking's good.
