comics is sensasional. bigger then life. Unless your doing a story about a normal every day person which is not as uncommon as you think.
I speak from personal and professional experience. Most up and coming professional artists, at least at the beginning of their education and careers, want to be comic book or anime artists. Few of them grow out of this even upon leaving school and entering the so-called 'real world'. Of course, while most of those that do grow out of being McFarlane or Akira Toriyama copycats are more successful in general, there's still a disproportionate number of professional artists in America that still draw all their women like you see in the comics.
yep. though they tend to want more anatomically correct women. i mean. the only reson you need tha tmuch sex appeal for a normal perosn is if your style sucks lol/.
Depends on where you work. Some people want more anatomically correct characters, many don't. In the entertainment industries, in animation, comic books, anime distribution, and whatnot, anatomically correct isn't what sells. Sure, they want to see that you can draw correctly, if you have the basics of drawing down, then with a little effort you can train yourself into any style.
However, I simply stating that the majority of those in the fields of animation and illustration like to draw stereotypical comic book/anime anatomy when it comes to women.
Lots of people think that our corporate overlords strictly control every aspect of production of everything we see and hear. Sure, they stick their noses in too much, moreso in some entertainment industries and less so in others, but the multitude of people creating what we see and hear have more leeway than most seem to believe.
yep. witchblade was nothing like how mike turner drew it originally. He created the entire look and feeel. even though witchblade was suppsoed to be a dark knight type sereis.
