I wish guys like Arthur Adams would use art assistants or partners (and if he does, use them more often.)

A few years back I met a guy at MidOhioCon who had worked out some
interesting dynamics for the webbing. He postulated that it shrinks on
contact with air, so when Parker fires out a line, it actually gives him a little
tug in the direction of whatever it's attached itself to. I liked that a lot!

If you talk to Rob and look at the evolution of his art from his fan days to Hawk & Dove, it was very much George Perez.
It didn't stop there. X-Force took from Teen Titans 39 and then issue 2 borrowed from the Baxter series' first issue. I was reading Crisis 1 and there's one panel I'm sure Rob used alot. The enemy in the first Youngblood comics was the Fearsome Five.

I ordered his Samplers the other day - Art Adams "official" site
There is a lot of work there. I believe he is making *a lot* of his income on commission jobs these days. So more power to him and his slowness.
As far as his line work, to suggest he should reduce it from 30k to 20k is absurd! Why should he compromise his style? Quality over quantity. He seems to be doing fine - $ - they way he is and I (like many) prefer to wait for the next master piece.

I like Art's work overall, but I find it sad that his income comes mainly pin-ups now.
Added to this, sad also that most of his women are so "hefty"; but that might be because that is what the market wants.

The extra lines contribute not at all to the quality. If the work has merit, it
doesn't need thousands of lines to back it up. That's what I call "tonnage" -
- lines that seem to be there only because some fans (such as you,
apparently) equate lots of lines with good drawing.

I can understand using linework to indicate texture, but I prefer when it's hinted at, with a few well-placed strokes.

I'm more than content to let Art do things the way Art wants to do things.

That's what I love about Joe Kubert. Well, one of the things. I have a
HAWKMAN page of his, in which the Winged Wonder tackles a big Black Bear
that is attacking a youth. The bear is a symphony of black slashes. Except
for its face, mostly its muzzle and teeth, there are virtually no holding lines,
just slashes of black.
The same is true of how Joe rendered the Hawk's wings. You look, and you
see feathers, and a lot of them. You look more closely, and you see it is
really artfully placed slashes of thick black ink.
As always, the real skill lies in knowing when to stop!
