Over at his blog, Skottie Young shares a cover he’s been working on for Cable/Deadpool #43:
This is the latest cover that I finished, again keeping with the different/gritty feel of the last few. I can’t tell you how much I enjoy fooling around with these covers. It’s always new and different, and usually never comes out like the original idea. That might sound bad, but it’s fantastic. I love accidents, and that’s what I’m going to start calling this style. It’s my accident style.

Wow, that’s pretty awesome.

Is it just me or is Deadpool totally in a SCUD pose?

I want to clarify that I really really dig the cover, but make Deadpool yellow and I’ll be damned if he doesn’t look a lot like SCUD.

I will never understand why art like that even gets approved, just seems like a random sketch

I agree with Dan… awesome!

I agree with Zeitgeist that (while it may be quality), it looks just like a random sketch (for good and bad reasons).

I like it.

It reminds me of some of the recent work Bill Sienkiewicz did on covers, i am not trying to bash these creators, but if a cover looks like something I could draw with my eyes closed then somebody needs to tighten their art or stop sending in rushed drawings. And major publishers should not accept this

There is some definite SCUD action going on here. It’s not 1-for-1, but it’s pretty close: http://www.scud.com/pages/books/scudOne.html?50,28

Similar to what he did on the Frankenstein story in Legion of Monsters. Fun, solid style underneath, but instead of polishing it up it’s been photoshopped over so much it’s visually convoluted and distracting.

I like it a lot. It’s gritty and different; I’d like to see a full story in this style.
