Tracing

As someone who has a fierce passion for comics and hopes to one day break into the business it's extremely frustrating to see seasoned veterans pull shit like this.  Below are pages from Invincible Iron Man #27 with art by Salvador Larocca.  Take a look.

Now take a look at some pictures I Googled of Sawyer from LOST.

Notice anything familiar? Using picture references is one thing, but I would be willing to bet that the images from Invincible Iron Man are traced. Its not as if Salvador Larocca can't draw, X-men fans from the late 90's-early 2000's can attest to that.

Salvador Larocca isn't the only person Guilty of this.

Greg Land is guilty of it too.  The image above is actually Greg Land's are preceded by a photoshopped image comprised of all the images Land traced.

Worse yet, Greg Land also traces other artists!

Above is Greg Land in color, and Travis Charest in black and white.

For someone who is trying to break in this is a slap in the face.
