Je trouve que le style de Melnikov s’éloigne de sa base capullesque pour aller vers quelque chose qui renvoie davantage au sous-Image des années 1990. Il fait ce que Roger Cruz faisait à l’époque (ce dernier faisant aujourd’hui des trucs plus intéressants).

C’est moins de boulot.

Je lisais la première partie de ton commentaire en me disant que ça ressemblait à du Cruz, on est encore sur la même longueur.

Niveau visage/yeux c’est clairement du Capullo, le reste je vous rejoins aussi

Ah oui tiens, c’est totalement vrai
