The artwork is ill. The type ruins the cover.

I think you’re thinking of the work of Eric Tan?

The actually art piece he did is amazing, although I’m pretty sure it follows the same “layout” as a few of his other pieces. The actually mazagine cover ruins the picture and their choice for the text of “rulers of night” is terrible and out of place.

Does he have anything on Two-Face?…

On second thought that character my not be the best person for his type of artwork, unless he did it from two different perspectives…

@windmillninja

I agree. I liked this style of artwork at first until I saw that EVERY picture was just like the next.

I don’t know why this site is so fascinated by a one trick pony when there are so many other great artists out there…

Artists do normally have a style they go through at one point or another, and to be honest, I think Tom Whalen’s work is fantastic.

Am I the only one already burned out on this guy’s work? Every poster is the same three color angular profiles. I mean, don’t get me wrong. The guy is talented, but give us some variety. He just seems to be a bit of a one-trick pony anymore.
