Sculpture
There's something about the Losers that look like were each carved out of wood or stone. They have thick and clunky fingers , solid necks and huge heads.
When you look at the pencils you can see that even without the ink Kirby was creating characters who were massive and solid, but the addition of the ink is what takes them to another level.
Great page.
