Rob Liefeld, ladies and gentlemen. Considered by most comic book fans to be one of the worst artists in the business.

The 40 Worst Rob Liefeld Drawings - 10?1 - Progressive Boink

God, the rage I feel welling up when I see this man's work is truly indescribable. I refuse to call them drawings, let alone art.

Rob makes me laugh. I love that guy. The wit. The pure ballsy-ness. The ego. It all fits so perfectly into those 501 jeans that he's so proud of.

His art makes small animals cry though. That's a shame. Having that much "art" from Liefeld on one page should be termed as a crime against humanity and banned by the Geneva Convention.

MY EYES!!!!

How does this guy get work? Seriously. Look at #40. What the hell is this?



:wtf:

Why would someone look at that and say, “Wow! Look at this work! Let’s hire him!” This woman has no lower abdominal organs. And no spine. And multiple other examples of Human Anatomy Fail. She’s like a genetic experiment crossing an ant with a human. Maybe she actually is? I don’t recognize the character. If she actually is supposed to be some mutant ant-person, I guess that Rob actually did get it right for once!

He’s gotta have pictures. Blackmail is the only explanation for him continuing to get work.

I'll bet that art came from when he was his own boss over at Image. And Liefeld checking his own art? Pshaw! Liefeld is above all that!

When I was a kid I dreamed of being a comic book artist. Unfortunately, I couldn't draw backgrounds, foregrounds, women, men, children, weapons, hair or body parts. Had I not quit this thread might have been about me. Damn.

This thread brings me so much glee for the memories of the guy in Illustration Concepts 101 who said he wanted to draw just like Rob Liefeld.

I've seen people say the feet thing is his 'style'.

Helluva style.

The guy was the '90s, where there were no heroes, only anti-heroes. Glad we've moved on.

His Captain America With Boobs is still the best drawing of all time

But without him, we wouldn't have Jesus vs the Greek Pantheon!

Omg, lol, that gif is the greatest.

I cackled for a good ten minutes after seeing that.

People wonder why I don't read Marvel to this day...

There's an issue of Deadpool that's maybe a year or so old, I forget exactly, but someone is asking Deadpool what makes him so cool/awesome/powerful and Wade just says "Pouches, right Rob?"

I tried to find a copy of that pic online, but failed and there's no way I'm going through my comics to find it either.

Edit: Aha! I found it, I apologize for the size, it's the biggest I could find it in.

This is from Deadpool #2 during the Secret Invasion. Deadpool decided to defect to the Skrulls and is given a squad of Skrull agents to train in the only way Deadpool can. Only it turns out to be a cunning plan to train Skrulls to be insane assassins that lack Deadpool's regenerative powers and so they wind up killing each other, thus eliminating at least 1 squad of Skrulls.

It must be admitted, we owe Rob Liefeld for Deadpool. Fortunately, he didn't have much to do with the character after that...

I thought we owed Marv Wolfman and George Perez

If Rob Liefeld hadn't plagiarized their work and brought the concept to Fabian Nicenza to actually create, we wouldn't have the Merc with the Mouth.

So bless his lack of creative talent (just this once)! :thumb:

Want a good cry/laugh...go check out the horrendous Image united (it is at its 3rd issue as of last week). Wow..I mean, holy shit, wow. All the old Image characters are in this, and all their original creators are drawing them panel to panel. It is...i mean, holy shit is it bad. Constant jumping through the air for no reason, over the top 90's styles, pouches and guns from Liefeld, no feet and whatnot. it is enough to make ones eyes bleed.

I, for one, can't WAIT for the final issue...

...in 2025.

My favorite so far has to be the splash page shots in front of and behind the Statue of Liberty. No one on the ground, everyone jumping, art makes no sense, the reverse splash angle that is the second shot that references nothing in the first. And of course, the fact that the monument looks absolutely nothing like the real one. It is so horrid that it makes one wonder about if there is anything right or good in the world around us, and if there is a higher power, why would such a thing like this exist?


It is existentially bad.

Also, saw Sims post today and knew ou were putting another of his gifs up as soon as I saw it.

It is an awesome gif.
