Why is the enemy so handsome though, I though only good guys could look sexy

[–] Anyolduser@lemmynsfw.com 15 points 5 months ago

Stupid, sexy enemy.

[–] Muscar@discuss.online -1 points 5 months ago

He looks so weird IMO, handsome is the last thing I'd think. Ugly MF being pretty high on the list.

Pretty cool how it circles back to the lady who started it all. Can't tell if that's a "Who, me?!" look or an "Oh, shit..." one.

Edit: Been a while since I took some time to look at a Rockwell. Really took this one in and man, that guy was really something at capturing people. These people are caricatures..sorta. Even the last guy with the black hat looks like a braying donkey with almost-pointed ears. The hair, faces, expressions...they're all amazingly stylized yet you can see exactly what that person would look like in real life. I’m sure he saw these people on the street or in the course of his days.

I appreciate Rockwell making the dudes just as gossipy.

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

Man, these are so good. They look like every day people. It's just so crazy good and I appreciate his stuff the more I see his stuff.

Rockwell did not care for chins.
