Who sad people that criticize can't draw?

 

Anyway its a step down in visual quality from Devil's Due.

Baylock pwns this guy, sorry.

Umm....isn't Baylock a writer?

 

Baylock was the writer, Steve Kurth was the artist most of the DD Joe stories, amongst a few other artists. I wasn't a fan of Kurth's work, but there were some decent moments with his stuff.

Gimme a Michael Golden any day......HE can draw GIJOE stuff!

The mask Storm Shadow's wearing in that last picture is *totally* based on Dice. Guess we know where repaints might be headed.

I hope so. It's getting so strange seeing all these signature items popping up, but getting endless versions of guys that I already have instead of those guys. Why does a BAT have HEAT-Viper's bazooka while I still have no HEAT-Viper? Why does Matt Trakker have Techno-Viper's helmet AND Annihilator's backpack while I have neither?

 

Why is there no Dice on the horizon when they can just repaint the new 5-pack Storm Shadow the mask and lower legs (and possibly the bo staff) from this one?

 

It's not the repaints that bother me so much as getting all kinds of repaints that make no sense (that Destro, as far as I know) while so many things we KNOW are possibilities are getting overlooked.

 

And again, why are we getting ShockBLAST when we KNOW that Hasbro has that name back?!

 

One point of contention I have though is that its NOT that hard to make characters look distinct facially. Given that the Joes do appear out of uniform often enough, there's ways of "casting" the likenesses of the characters in such a way that they become easier to draw.

While I appreciate and agree with your sentiments, I will also raise the argument that this has not been consistently done over the last 25 years. I will agree that it should have been... but it's just not there. Part of that is due to constantly shifting art teams, and part of that, IMO, is laziness on the part of the artist, counting on the uniqueness of uniform that each character has to make the distinction rather than the face.

 

That doesn't excuse it not being done NOW... it's just a contention that it's nothing new.
