I don't really like his style. It's a bit...exaggerated, dontcha think? I mean, Butler's neck is sooooo big. And Holly's face is too round, I thought fairies and pixies and elves were supposed to have pointed features? And what about her hair? Cropped? No.
Honestly, I'd prefer it if Kevin Walker, the Artemis Fowl artist, had done the comic book. His covers are amazing.

I don't really like the style either, it seems a bit too......dark. The artist said that originally he had drawn it to be more cartoony, but Colfer said he wanted a darker edge to it and so they altered the designs. Supposely EC wanted it to have an atmosphere similar to Blade Runner (has anybody seen that movie? I never even heard of it before).

The inside of the Graphic Novel is fairly good, I really like what I've seen so far... normally, you get problems like this when the fan doesn't have the same images of the characters and settings and such as the author, and it's normally quite rare for them to interpret characters the same... =/

Re: Do you like the character design Graphic Novel?
Yep. But I only have a problem with the proportions. I mean, in one of the pictures, Artemis' ears are soooo long. On the front cover, his forhead is so wide and...it's just that the proportions aren't really...natural somehow *shrug and scratches head*
And the colouring and line arting looks sorta scrappy. But it was fast, so I guess he didn't have enough time et cetera. I mean, it would've taken longer to do it neater...
I wish it would've been manga style though. Not like, cute manga style, but manga cartoon-ish style. Like not American Marvel comics, but not WITCH manga either. In between cartoony styles.

:O I love Firefly! And Angel. I haven't seen any of the Buffys yet but...[/offtopic]
I don't like it that much. Holly's okay I guess, but I'm not happy with Artemis at all. I didn't think he'd look that much like a vampire. Of course, I can't exactly say what I did imagine his looking like...There are some fanarts that are perfect (in my opinion.) Sadly, the site's down so I can't post a link. Unless...
This is exactly right. (In my opinion.)
Wow, I'm really off topic today...

Ah...Grey Matter by aqane - a great artist. She has a way of depicting Arty perfectly. I think it's coz her art is sorta sharp featured, and Art matches that style well. And the colours...very nice too. Some artists draw him too cute and cuddly and manga-ish.
These are great too:

Of course, aqane drew like, all the banners and stuff for FG!
