/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

anything by stephen silver, I hate how flat it is. To me it looks like he makes art by having a handfull of overly simplistic rules; like every curve has an opposing straight, bad guys have pointy shapes, strong guys have square shapes, feminine characters have circular shapes and he follows these rules slavishly. It results in characters that are shallow and predictable. It anoys me that he is the go to character design guy, if you ask how to design characters you will get sent to that guy.

look at this shit. he caricatures and makes everything super cartoony but keeps the actors' faces perfectly recognizable. he has such a mastery of shape language. It's incredible work.
