His artwork is great, but his reputation ruins it for me. Whenever I see a picture of his (particularly the ones with women's faces) I can't help but stare at it a minute and try to figure out if I recognize any of it.

All his women faces look exactly the same I think his style creates that effect.Looking at some of the images with multiple women on the same page..I can see difference in their faces. |

For the longest, he was one of my favorite artists, and then a friend of mine just had to ruin it by showing and explaining to me everything he hates about Land. I coulda gone by without that. Either way, I still like what he puts out. He does have skill. He just needs to stop being lazy. *looks at Thor* |

All his women faces look exactly the same Seeing as how he uses plenty of different.... Ahem "reference material" I doubt that is true. |

I honestly do not care that he traces like a shameless hack and recycles the same images over and over again or even that he steals images from other comic book artists.
What work ends up being published looks good to me.

Ahem "reference material" I doubt that is true. sorry but change the hair color and clothes and 90% of his drawing of females are inter-changeable I call foul sir. He uses at least 6 different models and porn stars. Plus that new X-Men promo near the bottom is obviously a trace of the Gemma Arterton Prince of Persia promo. Attachments:

I love his stuff. Every artist takes inspiration from somewhere, there is nothing new under the sun.
Thanks for posting all those pics, Erik. I hadn't seen all of them. Nice collection!

I read an excerpt from one of his "drawing" books and the way he explains how to draw a female's body is to find a photo, lay your paper over the photo, and draw the outline of her body. In other words, trace a picture. There was also a pull-quote in which he stated that his favorite source for photos of women was Sports Illustrated. I have to say though that he is really great at assembling his figures into really interesting and dynamic compositions, which slightly makes up for the figures being traced. Whether he's tracing or not he knows how to visually tell a story.
