In a perfect world, everybody would look like this

[stubbleupdate]

Currently, I've only got Alexis Denisof and John Slattery as people who look like Phil Noto drew them.

BOP could do worse than to have this as the cover of every issue from now on.

[nezchan]

That Jet Seven book is amazing. I do love me some Noto.

[greenmask]

I think I maybe like the colouring the best.

Good art though. Oh yes.

[aaron_bourque]

Most of those "Used as an illustration for an RPG book" are from D20 Modern.

One reason I will always treasure my copy of that book.

[bluefall]

My first exposure to him as an artist in fact! I'm almost certain the ? picture with the woman in front of the windows is for the infiltrator prestige class.

[bluefall]

Heh. Or what ian_karkull said. <.

[ian_karkull]

If anything, that's a reason to High Five like mad, because that book was my first exposure to Noto as well.

[ian_karkull]

It's a great game, if you can get into the classic D&D mindset.

[aaron_bourque]

It's a pretty good game even without a D&D mindset. I reread the stuff about 2 months ago, and kept thinking "Wow, these really are a great set of rules, sure there's some clunkers and missteps here or there, but with a good spit'n'polish, this could be a brilliant modular system." There've even been a couple of attempted polishes, M20, True20 . . .

[red_cyclone]

I knew I recognised some of those pictures! Way nicer than some rpg pictures can be, the research one is especially nice.

His art is a lovely throwback

[jazzypom]

That sort of painterly sensitivity (with the faded colours - more vintage than retro at this point) and the lovely stylised drawings. Am impressed.

[ian_karkull]

The image above Hellgirl is for the Infiltrator Advanced Class from the D20 Modern Sourcebook. Incidentally, that was also my class the one and only time I ever played that game.

Imagine my delight when I recognized Noto's art on comic boards.

[long_silence]

Noto is doing some awesome work on the Wolverine and Jubilee mini (and Kathryn Immonen's writing is less confusing than her Hellcat, Pixie, Runaways and Heralds stuff, so everyone's bringing their A-game).

I really love how Noto draws Pixie.





She's so cute!

[benicio127]

This book is fantastic and I agree. He also draws Jubilee like a 17-year-old or teenage-ish girl, right down to the way she sits on a chair.

[junipepper]

I thought the "Detective" was Renee Montoya when I saw it.

I lreally admire the way Noto draws women with waistlines that are almost realistic. They're all very slim, but you could infer the presence of internal organs in these ladies -- which is often not the case in comics art. And I love the way he's still able to make them look sexy and amazing, even without the 12-inch waistlines that you see so much of.

These are lovely, thanks for sharing!

[halloweenjack]

My reaction to the Danger Girl illo was, "Wow, I like that so much better than J. Scott Campbell's version--these women look like they could actually exist!"

[mrstatham]

This, so much. I saw Campbell's covers for the Danger Girl/Army of Darkness crossover coming up soon, and I actually winced. His depiction of women was ridiculous back in the nineties, but they seem to have gotten way, way worse, somehow.

[tahngarth.livejournal.com]

I love it all. An amazing artist.

[funbox]

If I could make love to this art I would. Damn you 3rd dimension!!!

[proteus_lives]

I like the Tyler Durden and Magneto ones.

[deepspaceartist]

Amazing art. This is the caliber of art that can make even the shittiest of stories worth looking at. Not worth reading, mind you, but definitly looking.

How far is it up the nerd scale that I read 'Trans Am Champions' and immeadiatly though of the main cast of Gundam 00?

[retro_nouveau]

retro_nouveau liked this

[benicio127]

xDDDDDD

[retro_nouveau]

You silly. It's all I want to say anymore!

[benicio127]

Hahahah I know. I can see this moving over to real life, LOL. Soon you'll be in the grocery store, standing next to the cheese section (or insert other various such food) with a big LIKE sign xDDD

[retro_nouveau]

I hope not, I'll be stuck for hours in front of the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups wondering where to click before it rolls down my dashboard! XD

[feyandstrange]

Why are we all not paying this man to draw sexy action ladies all the time for our pleasure?

If we can't find a scriptwriter, get him to do comic versions of the Avengers TV show. His style would be GORGEOUS for it and his Emma Peel would be SO HAWT.

OR a comic version of Modesty Blaize. I'd pre-order that.

[zenbro]

This is the kind of art that would make me overlook -- nay, forgive -- terrible writing.

[stubbleupdate]

Noto and Frank Cho will do that for me

[halloweenjack]

Gotta dig out my D20 Modern book now...

[psychopathicus_rex]

OK, I've gotta ask - are those 'American Armaments' and 'Jenny Uberbot' pictures showing actual characters from actual comics? Because if so, they look awesome.

[stubbleupdate]

American Armaments is just a reference to American Airlines.

There's more stuff somewhere, which I'm going to look out. I think I've got a load more pictures on my iPod

[psychopathicus_rex]

Yeah, I thought that might be the case, but one dares to hope.
So 'Jenny Uberbot' is real, then?

[stubbleupdate]

Phil Noto is the only google hit for Uberbot74

[psychopathicus_rex]

Drat. She looked like an interesting character. Oh, well.

[blackruzsa]

Gooohgis
this is basically what I want to achieve as an artist, or something close.

[twigcollins]

Fantastic. Thank you so much for this post.

[whitesycamore]

People may like his ladies, but I find his men underwhelming. Nothing exactly wrong with them... but meh.

I really wish artists in general would put more effort and imagination into male hotness.

[stubbleupdate]

[twigcollins]

Oh my god different facial structures.

[tacobob]

Ah! An artist who can do that! A freak of nature! He's a mutant! :O
