COMIC ARTIST QUIZ


Every pencil-pusher knows how hard it is to make a living by squiggling on paper, and virtually every popular artist who has made it has a trick or two up their sleeves.

If you'd like to know which comic artist you're most likely to be, take the quiz below and find out!

(Disclaimer: No artists or small children were harmed during the making of this quiz. Do not take if devoid of humor, as this pokes fun at both the artists and the industry in general. I have nothing but respect for everyone on this list. Well. Ok. Maybe not Liefield. *wink wink*)





1. What do you enjoy drawing the most?

Women. Naked, lithe, flowing-haired women. That is all.
Superheroes in impossible poses! Why be a comic artist if you don't draw
superheroes??
Facial expressions, charicatures of famous faces, mostly. Hell, I can even
make Peter David look good.
Figures in severe light and shadow. Strippers are nice, too.
Whatever my father tells me I need to practice on.
Manga, though I try to do this when no one is looking.
Superheroes as they were meant to be seen. Tall, proud, majestic. None
of that new-fangled 'i can identify with this guy' crap.






2. What do you think of painting / drawing / coloring on the computer?

Some people like to use it, but I don't really need it. My art stands better
when I'm doing it straight from the ink pot.
I don't have my work colored any other way. It's the wave of the future,
man.
It's okay, I guess. I mean, if that's what everyone else is doing. Wait, let
me go check with my dad.
Damnation! No true artist would ever use such a tool. It is to be used only
by fools and liars!
Are you kidding? Anything that makes my work look better. I mean, lens
flare is a tool I CANNOT live without. Photoshop rules!!
I use it to save time, but my work stands well enough alone without it.
Indeed, I *am* known for my traditional mediums best.
It looks good and it saves time. I'm all about the pencils, anyway, and my
art stands pretty well with or without colors.






3. What is your claim to fame?

X-men: The Age of Apocalypse.
Spiderman, what else?
The comic version of the Kama Sutra, except without the manual. Just the sex.
My stint on the Incredible Hulk. Oh, and Supergirl.
Illustrating the black darkness of the human soul in Sin City, and
illustrating the... uh, black darkness... of the human soul... in Batman.  Dark Knight Returns, thankyouverymuch.
I bring back that which was lost. I restore the heroes of old to their
 former unsullied glory!
I'm the butt of every joke at comic cons.






4. It is the turning point of your career. You are popular with the masses, everyone wants to hire you. What do you do?

Take less jobs in order to polish my style to sheer perfection. Everyone needs a signature, and mine's going to be perfect.
Take all the jobs thrown my way and milk my style it for all its worth until people get tired of me and editors no longer want to hire me.
Ask dad for some advice.
Make gorgeous, majestic pin-ups. A lot of them. Then sell my comic pages for hundreds of dollars each. Then make more pin-ups.
Nothing. Keep drawing, practicing, and take the jobs I feel like I can do a good job on. In essence, just do what I was doing before.
Continue painting graphic novels. I've been in style since the mid nineties, boy. I've got a fanbase that says I'm not going anywhere anytime soon.
Leave my current company with a bunch of artists that are all more
 talented than me and start a new one. I'm so popular that I'm sure my fans will follow! Who needs X-Force anyway?!






5. Who do you look up to?

Myself.
Buscema, Romita... you know, the Greats. There's always something to
learn from the guys who started it, after all.
Gustave Courbet. He could appreciate the nude woman, no?
Noir. Anything noir is good.
My dad. Duh.
Nobuhiro Watsuki, Hiroaki Samura, Kazuo Koike, uh... hold on, I'm sure
there's a white guy somewhere that I like...
Jim Lee. (Shhhh).
