Ouch!

Less than flattering review of Jeanty's portrayal of Faith.

Please pardon me while I sit here in this corner trying to curb my laughing.

Have to agree with that.

[elisi]

And the really sad thing? When he gets her right, she actually *does* look like Faith. Buffy never looks like Buffy.

[shapinglight]

No. She doesn't even look much like Buffy's much younger sister, Biffy.

[elisi]

Bwahahahahaha! :D

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought Jeanty's Faith looked like Betty Boop.

[elisi]

I just don't know *why* he draws the way he does. Lots of the other characters look *fine*!

::waits impatiently for 'After the Fall' and more Lynch/Urru goodness::

Hee - he is so right! One of the reasons I have just totally ignored the comics. I can't see the point in reading them if there is no relationship between the drawn characters and the screen ones, nor any aesthetic pleasure in looking at the pictures.

*nods* Guess I'm just too curious for my own good... (But 'After the Fall' ought to be seriuosly awesome! *is impatient*)

Dude, that was priceless! You know how much I hate Jeanty's artwork of Buffy, but I never realized he drew Faith to look like Insane!Hillary. *g*

*joins you in corner LMAO*

[elisi]

Dude, that was priceless!
Wasn't it just? I *had* to share...

Neither did I! A truly illuminating article! *nods*

And my corner is fun! :)

LOL @ Hillary likeness. YIKES!

[elisi]

I know! I couldn't not link to it...

:)))))))))))))))))))

That was hilarious. Curiously, Jeanty draws men OK, but fails with women.

[elisi]

Strange isn't it? Because he's fine with OC women...

That was AWESOME. And OMG, I had no idea his Faith artwork was that bad. Some of those pictures are just unbelievably fugly ... I didn't know whether to use my laughing Tink icon or my grimacing Posie icon for this!

So I used my Xena "flip off" icon instead. Kinda covers how I feel about that artwork, too. ;)

[elisi]

That was AWESOME.
I was bouncing with glee as I read!

Excellent choice! I think this might be the nearest thing I have to 'flip off'. *g*

W00T! I'm just glad that an "official" reviewer said what some of us have been saying all along: Jeanty was NOT a good choice to ilustrate these comics. I laughed out loud at the similarities between Jeanty's drawings and the other actresses; although, I also thought "Faith" looked like Rose McGowen in several panels. In any event, just about the only actress Jeanty's drawings of Faith doesn't resemble is Eliza Dushku!

*nods* And I've been saying this since issue 1 - not just the fact that Buffy looks all wrong, but that his art is just not very interesting. [loves Urru]

Hee. Although when she *does* look right, she looks more like Faith than Buffy ever looks like Buffy...
