By the way I was giving you examples of where the artist might have drawn inspiration from coz I could tell just by looking at the cover that he was inspired by the artist of the 3 pics I posted. the first one in particular. Which was why i kept streesing and keep stressing my no argument policy coz I can see the similarities. If he copied it directly it would be called 'swiping' - the process by which one comic book artist takes a picture from another comic book artist and uses it in his work.

Its generally frowned upon so the artist had to remove himself from their inspired images as much as possible.

examples of swiping:

This one of Roger cruz swiping Joe Madureira around 1994


Despite the differences its actually the exact same picture.

Here's one by swipe master Rob Liefeld around 1990 one of Cable's first appearences and Wolverine in his old costume.


Same difference.

We comic book heads have an eye for this sort of thing so we can always tell no matter how suttle where an artist gets his shit from.

There's a diff between taking somethng and making it your own and taking something and making it horrible.

Let me give you an example your brain can understand.

Imagine a totally talentless kid, who has never drawn anything in his life sees the Cable pic above.

He decides he wants to draw Cable too, so he takes some pencils, or MS paint and starts copying what he sees. He draws his inspiration from the pic, and tries his best to make it look original, but since he has no talent, his drawing looks like someone vomited on the page.

this is what the Cinibus cover looks like.

Understand now?
