Editors are looking for the same old bullshit...same style of penciling, same style of coloring. They want copiers, not truly creative people. Line up 10 comics in a row and unless one is an Alex Ross book, they'll all look the same.

AWESOME! I believe classes started again on May 29.

@TRE1275 you sir have no idea what you are talking about..If you can't see the difference of style then its either you are blind or just a guy behind a computer with no life at all.

I see some comments on here about all comic art being same style. Not true. Yes the big publishers want a certain look for there books and thats fine but right now we are in a independent comics boom. Take look at some of the self publishers out there. All different styles. Self publishing boom and really changing how the comic industry to moving.

The illustration is just as important, you should be bothered about it I think. When a potencial buyer see the book in a store, art comes first, it changes later, when he/she started reading it. In my opinion, Scott Pilgrim has also good artwork, and it adds a lot to the reader's experience. It's not as elaborated/classic like DC stuff and so, but perfectly fits to the story and very dynamic. Different artw. style for different stories must be the clue.

@TRE1275

I both agree and disagree but yes comic book art is generally all the same. Thats why I got bored with it and now want to do MY OWN style of art. Although it all generally all looks the same there is some really original stuff like some batman comics e.g year one, batman and robin must die and the long haloween. Also judge dredd america and the league of extroadinary gentlemen. but YES it is often a generic style, not always.

@TRE1275 If you really feel that way, your reading is broad enough. I hear those same kinds of statements from those Marvel- or DC-only types everyday.

quality art...as long as the story is just as good, I'm sold...

[SamHain1031666]

All this work looks amazing and im a little off the mark when it comes to creating comic like images like the ones shown in this video, im close but not quite there yet. However, ive recently been reading Kick-Ass and Scott Pilgrim, neither of which have amazing art work. It really shows that the art comes second and story comes first. Im currently writing my own comic and im not bothered about how the illustrations turn out

Actually, I love Alvin Lee's style, there's room for all kinds of styles, not just western.
