Besides the anatomy problems, I always thought Liefield draws the same face on every character. Everyone looks alike.

I can't just fault Liefeld for that. Jim Aparo, John Bucema, and John Byrne did the same thing, to name a few.
I have to wonder if the early work Liefeld was doing was being corrected by the inker, and later, I imagine the inker was told to ink it as he saw it, or Liefeld inked himself. The weird sketchy lines don't bother me as much as the wacky anatomy and horrible perspective.
I actually feel bad for Liefeld in a way because everyone that talks about him says how much he loved comics and creating comics, but no one will hire him because he is so hated, even probably blackballed.Expectation is the death of discovery.Comment

^^^ He keeps getting work at Marvel.
If the guy loved comics so much, you think he'd learn how to draw them.

It is truly amazing how this guy still manages to get work. He's one of the most godawful artists ever to have unfortunately graced comics!
I have to admit to getting to like Frank Quitely though, his art on All Star Superman is pretty good IMO.Last edited by Surfsup; Dec 6, '07, 11:58 AM.Comment

I had no idea he had Marvel work, I haven't read Marvel in years. To all of you Marvel readers: I'm really sorry they are giving Rob work!Expectation is the death of discovery.Comment

I can personally say his work dosen't bother me as much as Mike Mingola's and Keith Giffen's work does, it actually hurts my eyes. Those guys are awesome writers and Mingola did some amazing Hulk comics in 84-86 I believe, plus he did an awesome Wolverine story, "Jungle Adventure",
but for the most part.........IT SUCKS IMO!

The Onslaught reborn stuff was awful...there was a picture of the thing leaping off a building (or something) a big Rob "I'm good at drawing" Liefeld one panel page that was truely, truely ****e...really bad...it looked rushed and unfinished, or at the very least like he was only doing this mag for the money. I think that if you are an artist of any medium if your heart isn't in it it shows through ...and this did big time.ENGLISH AND DAMN PROUD OF IT

yikes!
His blatant disregard for basic anatomy is both hysterical and kinda sad : )
Thanks for sharing the link.

"a drawing of a naked guy on fire anally violating a semi-nude grotesquery in midair"
I can honestly say I have never seen those words in that order anywhere. Points for originality.

That's so funny. Though, the CA anatomy pic shown in this thread takes the cake IMO.

Hmmmm....
I find it funny how many folks are dissing him NOW; but when he was "it" criticizing would get you killed.... well.... GLARED at by a bunch of nerds, actually. But you get the idea. Even on the site with the pics; these came from SOMEWHERE. Probably the author's collection.
