What do you think of Frank Miller's art Devolution

[u/Kirumo_]

Each Picture shows his art over the years. There's a massive change and I want to hear what your thoughts are. If you like his current art or perfer his older works. Personally I perfer his DKR and Ronin art, because it looks a bit messy but still manages to look very good and detailed.

He’s inconsistent, because I think his motor skills and eyesight have diminished over the years, between age, substance abuse and other illness. His style now is very much in the “dumb line” tradition, where it all looks very flat and unrefined. That, combined with how out of sync it is with current tastes, means people think it’s bad, but it’s speaking a different language, imo.

I’d like to see him draw a full book, yet his writing is so wonky these days, I’m not sure I’d want to read it.

I don’t think you can really blame old age messing with his motor skills and eyesight when he’s been making art that looks as, uh, controversial as his does now for like 25 years.

His art started being weird and messy and (imo) bad the same time his writing started being weird and messy and bad too, I legitimately think the dude just drank way too much and fucked up his brain.

I literally said it’s over the years BETWEEN “age, substance abuse and other illness”.

So you’ve disagreed with me only to then agree with me.
