the one on the right skews more toward realism i guess
the one on the left feels stylized in its coloring choices
feel like the coloring on the left allows you to appreciate the line art and gereral artistry much more
while on the right, it just feels like it blends together into a drawing youre supposed to just look at as a whole and nothing closer
thats my thoughts anyway, this is my first time seeing these pages hehe :>
always opposed to recolors; but especially when it's coming from a corp that fucked creators for so long
the buckingham/gaiman changes are fine with me since it was buckingham/gaiman doing them, regardless of quality
is this like a normal thing to recolor stuff ? i dont have a lot of context for how / why this happens
"normal" is a relative term because "recolor" can mean different thing. doing it to the extent of the above isn't usual. but anything published before the mid-90s will have been recolored a little because of the switch from 4 color swatch printing to digital printing. sometimes, they would go back and scan the colors from the original artwork rather than the comic as published, which was often very different in many ways. artists would often make their original colors much brighter, knowing that the printers tended to fade colors a bit, so the modern reprints are often far brighter than intended, for one example. (another example and a pet peeve of mine is that reprints often use totally flat colors, when the originals were printed with Ben Day dots). that's if they don't just go back and redo the color palette entirely as you see here.
