Has there ever been an explanation as to what his characters keep in all those fucking pouches?

They are filled with shame.

[Boss Doggie]

I'm not the only one who cringed at that Deadpool panel... am I?

[Hoo-doo]

Oh hey, they made another "40 worst liefeld drawings" just a month or so ago! http://www.progressiveboink.com/2012...efeld-drawings

These are fucking hilarious.

[Log4Girlz]

One of the finest comic artists ever to live. I am trying to type this with a straight face.

[Tizoc]

First Morrison and now this. Seriously what is going on at DC that they can't keep talent on board?

Wait hold up, what about Morrison? All I heard is that he won't be writing Action Comics.

[neorej]

Ppl actually trace porn?

Also, who is she?

[yogloo]

If we play a game where we drink a shot of vodka everytime find an error in Liefeld drawing we would all die of alcohol poisoning.

[Blackace]

[Spike Spiegel]

Never knew Wolverine had another claw there.

[smurfx]

Victory for comic fans everywhere.

[The Horror the horror]

Can't totally hate on a man that created SUPREME. Granted, he was nothing more than an older, murderous, more self-righteous and self-absorbed version of Superman but seeing him destroy other super heroes while quoting scripture was enjoyable.

[SUPREME1]

I'm failing to see the funny in this one. The other images have their obvious flaws, but this isn't anywhere near them in terms of absurdity.

That's actually a decent Badrock (originally Bedrock) render. He's as big as a house, super broad and massive.

There's a serious lack of depth going on between his right arm and torso, if someone had arms that fucking huge they'd be having serious problems just tucking them in like that. Also, the way his body is curved, his right pectoral would about half the size of his left. The "i" on his chest also isn't curving in proper perspective with his body.

Yeah, it's not perfect by any stretch... but it's also not really worthy of mocking like some of his other transgressions.

[Loxley]

It's certainly not his worst image, but it still amazes me that despite the fact that this guy is terrible at rendering in almost every aspect that he managed to become as successful as he did.

Yeah, I get ya. One of teh reasons he's been so successful is that he churns this crap out and can meet a deadline. Something editors look at favorably.

He probably really is a nice guy irl, so that could play into it.

I remember reading that too. Made me think the industry had some pretty damned lousy standards if thats all it took

Rob, is that you?

[FStop7]

Indeed, Spider-Man!

This one doesn't bother me. Spiderman's bubble shaped calf is the only thing that makes me roll my eyes.

I'm not sure what's going on with one of Juggernaut's arms, being colored yellow. But that could be a printing error. Same for the teeth.

[SUPREME1]

Rob, is that you?

Just pointing out how that particular drawing isn't as awful as some of the stuff that is deserving of ridicule. Not one for jumping into a circle jerk just because everyone else is doing it... please forgive me.

Take a closer look at Spider-Man's hands.

ahahahaha what teh fuck is is

This... is like THE BEST OF.

[Blackace]

I fought her in Silent Hill 2 I think

[Pimpwerx]

This thread needs more pouches and poorly-drawn feet. PEACE.

[charsace]

He basically draws women in the pose you see in magaizines when woman doesn't have a curvy butt. Back arch tom foolery.

[TheJollyCorner]

dying here.


"How does a shirt look where the arm meets the chest? What’s that? ‘Like a cat’s asshole’? Hey, makes sense to me!"

[To Far Away Times]

This is like Captain America all over again.

[-_-]

Alright my degree isn't totally useless now!

But I'll miss Grant though ):

I think the author is making fun of the over-crinkled armpit and the ridiculously criss-crossed veins.

[Dark Octave]

This is now a Liefield appreciation thread:

Why is he wearing socks?

[blind51de]

I hate his work instinctively.
Twenty years he's been drawing "professionally" and he's made virtually no improvement.

[TheJollyCorner]

I thought those were scars, lol.

It's like an idiot Rorschach test.

[Tobor]

Some one paid him for this artwork. It was published. A man or group of men looked at his work and said "Yes Rob, I would like to pay you for this work and publish it for all the land to see."

He bought houses and cars with the money that was paid him for this work.

On his taxes, he lists "artist" as his profession.

Aliens could land outside my house and offer me the secrets of the universe, and nothing they could show or tell me would be as amazing as the knowledge that Rob Liefeld makes a living as an artist.

[Rafa=FedKilla]

He's an impostor!!!!!

Rob Liefeld did something really amazing and quit Marvel to retain creative rights. Not quite as masterful as McFarlane's run or Jim Lee's career but he had his share of smart choices.

IP control = the moneys

This isn't true for every creator for the big publishers, but one can miss out on a lot of money from not having creator's rights.

[voodoopanda]

I remember Liefeld and similar artists of the early to mid 90s made me stop reading superhero comics for a good 10 years. There were a lot of attempts at anime art that wasn't quite right and early computer coloring/lettering that I just didn't like too. I think his Avengers #1 was one of the last comics I got, only returning to superheroes around the time Civil War was getting a lot of press.

What I never understood was why so many people back then loved it. I recently came across an X-Factor of his with the letters section just gushing about the amazing art. It wasn't just in letter sections though, I knew a lot of people who went crazy for it, and the sales proved it. The fact that comics seemed to be selling their best when they were at their worst has always made me wonder about capitalism. I read the book Grant Morrison put out recently, Supergods, and he mentions how the few issues of Spawn he wrote during that time period got him some of the best money he's ever made from comics.

Before that, somebody at Marvel hired him. Somebody looked at that work and gave a thumbs up. I remember distinctly when he destroyed The New Mutants. He shit all over that book and was paid to do it. It was mystifying then and it's still mystifying today.

In defence of the EXTREEEMMME comix of the time, Silvestri, Liefield, McFarlance etc did bring a new style to mainstream comics that had been a bit still for at least 10 years at that time. The new style did get old quickly, and was quickly taken to excess, but at least it was new.

I quite liked the comics of the 70's and early 80's, but by 1990 they were stale as hell.

That book went from average 1980s superhero art stuff



to HOLY SHIT THIS IS AMAZING SIENKIEWICZ I LOVE YOU





and finally to Liefeld



What a roller coaster ride that was

[devenger]

demon bear drool

I think he's the only artist to make Wolfsbane look cool. (BS not Rob)

[Kammie]

His ridiculous anatomy gets plenty of love, but don't forget the plagiarism.

The nozzle on Cable's gun is crooked in relation to the rest of the weapon.

This fucking guy deserves all the hate he gets. I can't believe he still gets hired.

[smurfx]

What a roller coaster ride that was

feels like i'm wearing nothing at all, nothing at all.

[VisionaryQuest0]

and finally to Liefeld What a roller coaster ride that was

I remember getting that issue when it first came out. I was so young and naive in thinking that looked awesome.

[Alucrid]

so good

[the chris]

[Slamtastic]

I was about to say that I can't draw as well as him, and give him a pass for that...


...but then I realized that having shame in my lack of skill and sparing the world from seeing it puts me on a higher moral standing than him, so I feel better.

The fact that his most recent things all have every one of his characteristic flaws, and he takes money in exchange for these is reprehensible.

[Anticitizen One]

Damn can someone point me in the right direction to check out that new mutants series? Where do I start?

[Dead Man]

Those fucking feet and fingers. Those oval guns and flaccid swords. Jesus.
