6:03 "Make it look cool. We're in the cool business right?" Man I love Todd some much and his art is one my inspirations for my art style. Stay gold Todd and can't wait to see your new stuff 🤙🏽
@maxxgunner557311 ай бұрын
5:57 actually. But yes, Todd's art along with Leifeld (I find his artstyle underrated and looks awesome in some way) helped pave the way for stylized comic book and cartoon art.

In junior high school I was already a fan of Spider-Man before McFarlane, but when McFarlane took the helm I was blown the hell away. Imagine something you love very much, getting exponentially better. It was astounding to me the artwork from those Spidey comics.

Michael Golden came up with that web style years before Todd touched spider-man comics. He even had to admit it and now he's back to claiming he did it on his own.
Todd popularized the webs but Michael Golden gets the credit for creating their look 6 years before Todd took "inspiration" from them

Todd, if you had that software back in the 90's, you could have just done a few different angles of the spaghetti webbing and save the file on your computer and that would have made it so much easier on you but you truly did make Spiderman cool with the way toy draw him and today's Spiderman just feels kinda wimpy.

Nice work, he's very careful and steady about what he's doing. I can see why he's got some of the most realistically detailed sculpts and figures in his brand.

And unlike today's pros he created a new character and the character was black and everybody loved the character because he was cool. Today all they do is change the ethnicity, gender or whatever of established heroes and think that is enough to make them cool or relevant. And woe to you if you do not like what they did.

Todd used to put so much detail into his panels, which clearly must've taken ages, that I almost used to get anxiety attacks just looking at the damn stuff! Especially as at the time, I wanted to be a comicbook artist myself. Probably a good thing I didn't as I very much doubt I'd have been able to handle the pressure and deadlines! (I worked at quite a slow pace).

What Todd did, is he found comic artists that couldn't really cut it. Crooked anatomy etc, and applied for their jobs. That is how he got into the industry if I am not mistaken

When he talks about how a single piece of webbing would take hours to consistently go through a double spread page, that's why comics are like $3.99 an issue now. I've never complained about buying a Spawn comic because I've always gotten my money's worth. People said you can't sell toys for $30.00+ and Todd said "yes you can, you just have to give them $30 of value".

I think if the coloring of the webs back then were more refined, and those individual strands were rendered separately rather than color the entire bundle that grayish purple tone, it would've looked a tenth more badass. It would've had that 3D effect you were goin for. You were just hindered by the 90s tech at the time which might've been still hand painted.
