Today I will look at these three artists body of work, they all do comics and a lot of animation, like DC, X –Men and Transformers, all of which are massive around the world.
Jack Kirby
Jack Kirby’s main body of work can be seen in the DC universe, He has worked on big figures like Spiderman, Batman and Captain America. All really famous comics that are loved by millions, and have sold millions more, One of the main productions to start the comic book franchise, this amazing thing has been turned into TV series and even movies all around the world, using animation, computer design and hand drawn graphics, they can be seen in cinemas everywhere. Another famous piece of work he helped on was Iron Man; this has so many comics as well as a part in the avenger’s comics.
He sketches using a lot of colour, always hand drawn and are amazingly detailed, to more modern day, the characters are more than likely made using computer graphics rather than hand drawn. The most popular early creation by Kirby at DC was the boy commandos, a fighting squadron of four teenagers gathered from around the world – England, Netherlands, France and Brooklyn – by adult military man named Rip Carter. The Commandos was his earliest success. More of his success was seen through the Second World War with comics like, The commandos, The sandman, Man hunter and The News Boy Legion.
Tyler Stouts
Tyler Stouts worked on one of the world’s biggest franchises EVER! The ultimate sci-fi / comic nerd fantasy ever…. Star wars, Tyler stouts, work on star wars, can be seen in the characters as concept design, you can see the clear detail and the amazing colouring in the characters, for Luke Sky walker, Obi Wan and Yoda for example. He added the finest detail and amazing colour effects and concept to make it look and be one of the most well known and most respected sci fi franchises, in modern day his star wars trilogy posters are being sold and very high prices and in mint quality.
He also worked on one of the first animes and its trilogy posters, Akira, is the first most popular anime again keeping to is sci fi style, the design and colour is amazing and it is a very futuristic film, this film started a revolution to let such amazing animes like, Bleach, Naruto and Death note, start, all of which have an amazing essence of detail, passionate drawing and amazing storylines.
Another piece of work he did ties in with Kirby’s work, Stouts also worked on Captain America a DC piece of work, as in most of his work he mainly did the trilogy posters, again with the Captain America poster capturing an intense scene, and his fine detail on colouring and drawing.
Tyler stouts, Jack Kirby and Bill Sienkiewicz all worked on there on design and concept of Iron Man and have helped in the avengers comics.
Bill Sienkiewicz
Sienkiewicz worked on such comics as X -men, one of his biggest pieces was for Marvel in the form of X –Men, this really well known in the comic world and involves lots of characters all well drawn, well coloured and well thought, each character has its own individual story, powers and team, whether good or evil. That is why it has sold so much because of all the planning and detail in the characters own persona. Another famous piece he did transformers, which have a few comics, all with well drawn, sci-fi, and complex design as they are machine and have to have every little component amazing drawn and coloured, especially in the movies the animation is amazing with the way they transform with a lot of hand drawn concept art it looks amazing. His sheer design and eye for detail in all concept art and comic he did is astonishing in an amazing way.
One of his most famous concept can be seen in a big comic company call DC, He, Bill Kirby and Tyler Stouts have worked on a version of Iron Man, which no doubt has gone into the Avengers comic at some point.
Comparison!
The similarities.
One similarity is that all three have had their own design and concept of Iron Man, they have all worked on it at one point which brings another similarity in the way they all have worked at DC at one point or another.
Another is all 3 have worked on comics with great detail and colour for comics, whether, concept art, publication or even the trilogy posters they all have worked on a comic design at one point.
They all prefer hand drawn concept design to computerise as they each cover different but sometimes the same areas in comics as each other.
They all have similar styles in their hero’s characteristics, with the hero’s muscle concept for example they use the same drawing style.
Differences.
There are quite a few differences in their work, for a start the companies they worked for Bill worked for Marvel, Kirby for DC, and Stouts for LucasFilm.
Though they all worked Iron Man, but because of their own unique concept style, the colour of Iron Man will be a bit darker but in some cases a bit lighter.
Though Kirby and Bill have worked on a lot of super hero’s comics, Stouts did a lot of work on Star Wars which is sci-fi and because the other two don’t really touch sci-fi in their popular body of work it is a difference.
They all have covered different areas but Stout stands out again, as he worked on anime such as Akira and has work on a lot of trilogy posters more than concept art and character design.
Bill and Stout seem to enjoy doing things with complex detail as in machinery and robots like into; Bill has worked on transformers which includes a lot of complex robot design and transformation, Stout on the Tai Fighters and other vehicles in Star Wars.
