Seibertron has an interview with Autocracy, Monstrosity, RID (a couple of issues) and Dark Cybertron (Dead Universe) artist Livio Ramondelli.
This is probably going to sound really bad, but I can't stand this guys art. I find it takes away from the story and I end up reading it in a daze. All the characters just look "meh". I have a few comic book artist friends, and none of them like his style either, they find it ruins it too. Is it just me on this forum who thinks this, or are there others?
Totally agree, I don't like his art at all. "Meh" is being very polite half the time I don't know which character is in the frame.Quote:

His work is always too muddy and dark, and whenever I buy an issue with him on art I always go to read it then my eyes go aarrggh and I put it back at the bottom of my pile for later. What they should do is get him to pencil his own work - like the Rodimus in the interview - and then put someone else on colouring, preferably Josh Burcham. Ramondelli has great potential as an artist, but his biggest problem seems to be that he doesn't know what's good for comics, and apparently his editors don't either.Quote:

As someone said to me, "This New Age look, where everything has to be done with a brush pen, just look stupid for transformers". Guess I should just be thankful Andrew Griffiths work keeps me happy.Quote:

He claims he does some writing on Chris Metzen's work.
He thinks G1 animation has the same grit he uses in his artwork. (WTF:confused:)
The guys that work at Seibertron really like his artwork. (I guess I was right, some people do like him)
Hahahahahahah, Ahahahahahahaha, hahahahahahahaahah. Yeah Ok :DQuote:
