I know his artwork was rushed at the time when he was doing xmen and I do enjoy some of his other work but his xmen was unappealing to me because it was churned out so fast for the most part.

You may not like the art which is completely fine because that's your opinion, but I think for whatever effect he was going for, it was achieved.  As for her chest being "drawn pretty badly" and for her looking like "she put on quite a few pounds stomach-wise", I think for the position she is sitting in, it's pretty realistic.  Even the most fat-free, "perfect" women would look similar to that if sitting in that position.  Sorry her stomach and boobs are not tantalizingly perfect enough for you.  Stories do have to be told, and yeah, she does look pretty slimy.  Again, I am pretty sure that was probably the effect both author and artist were going for.

Assuming that's Kaare Andrews from Ellis' run, that's WAY better than alot of the art... some of it is just plain embarrassing... one should not have breasts bigger than one's head.  Nevermind the person in the background with stick figure arms and a large rear... that person could not possible move in real life. This isn't anywhere near the worst I've seen, just what came up with a quick search.   I understand he was semi-parodied Image, but it makes me cringe every time I see it.

Edit:  I see now that isn't NOT Andrews... I'm I guess I assumed based on the costume.

So here, Namor looks like an over 50, down on his luck cabby.  Not sure what the context is here, cause I never read the story, but I can't help but wonder if the next panel has him saying "Where to mac?".  The rest of the panel is fine, but that's not Namor's face.

As to Frank Quitely, New X-Men was the first (I am pretty sure) time I had seen his drawings. I wasn't reading X-Men but I was interested in seeing what the story behind Beast's new look was. I really didn't like it at first. Very jarring. Much like Miller's art. Not necessarily bad in composition (I don't like being negative) just not my style. But I actually grew accused to it, by the end of the story. Now I think the only other thing of his I've seen is We3, and it's somehow so much better than X-Men. It might be I like the story so much, or it might be that the art really is better. But either way, I'd never say a bad thing about the man's work on We3.

As to Igor Kordey, the only thing I can think of his, is X-treme X-Men, which followed Salvador Larroca (an all time favorite of mine) on interior art, and still with Larroca's covers. So personally, I can't say anything to his skill, as most anyone following Larroca, for me, would be a jarring change.

To the basic premise of this thread, it's hard, for me, to critique something whose process I don't either comprehend, or have knowledge of. So (just my two cents) I think a lot of these discussion drop off into a matter of taste. And yes, I know art is subjective, but I am also someone who is somewhere indifferent to not caring for Jack Kirby's art, a person most fans would never have a negative thing to say about. (Though he did get a mention in this thread.) I can clearly see the bad Robin and Wonder Woman examples of Miller's. The anatomy and proportions are off. But Quitely's, Kordey's and others (especially the Namor) just seem to be a difference of liking the way the character is represented. Whoever said Namor looks like a middle aged cabbie, got it perfect. But that doesn't necessarily mean that it's a bad drawing. It's just different. Maybe I am just too kind considering the effort some artist make and not hard on the end product because I can't draw worth a ____. Anyway, again just my two cents on the subject.

I concur : unless this is meant to be an alternate drug reality, allthe perspectives on that panel are deeply wrong, whichis a problem since the artist was obviously going with a realistic approach. It's all about coherance if you go stylized, same goes with realistic
