[@gingeetheginge6071]

Tigran Pet I've seen porn comic artists with more talent than Liefeld.

[@chrisossu2070]

The best in the porn comic industry definitely would be more talented than Liefeld. Drawing men and women that attractive requires an intimate knowledge of human anatomy.

[@MrZorro-if5jw]

Dude, porn comics require EVEN BETTER art style and details than a regular comic. Imagine that guy drawing the face of an orgasming person. It'll be the worst expression you'll possibly see in your entire life

[@fernado0006]

no it looks like he’s got the thickest muscular suit ever and I’m not sure what’s with the weird shine balls on his shield.

[@hujan1744]

It doesn't look that empty to me, but i still have to look at it every 5 minutes even tho i know nothing changed.

[@jilliancrawford7577]

I hope you guys continue this series. I'm sick of those DeviantArt Cringe videos making fun of children's art and beginner artists. This makes me feel better to know that professional artists are imperfect and it actually inspires me to improve my art skills to do better than the professional artists you show in this series. Thank you for that!

[@dragonlordthekingofdragons6373]

Yeah

[@ginogatash4030]

it wouldn't be so bad if they didn't pretend like they want to "help them", get off your high horses and just admit you're making fun of the images!

[@Mars_over_seer]

Spiderwing Parker27 Kind the reason why making fun of deviant art is the norm. It’s more interesting to see mistakes in published comics.

[@edwardgaines6561]

Do you have a website? Let's see your art.

[@Predator20357]

Yah and he also goes for low hanging fruit like fetishes, of course the fetish would be weird and most likely drawn badly. It’s one thing to see a public sight have bad drawing but actual professional art being bad is better

Jin Kazama Todd Mcfarlane mentioned that sometimes it doesn't matter if you're a mediocre artist, as long as you can hit deadlines.

his art style defined the 90s, people actually tried to imitate his style, he married a super model, was in a guess jeans commercial, and was a millionaire. Rob Liefeld absolutely made a deal with the devil.

It was actually a levi's 501 commercial.

[@guillermodebaskerville7117]

Foot fetish, Liefeld's true nemesis and archenemy

[@monkeydgaster]

wish he would have added a comment explains why this series was canned instead of just a tweet thread but here’s why the series was canned. 1.They’re not a lot of really horrible comic art out there and they don’t want to do ten episodes of Rob Liefeld or Ken Penders 2.Despite hundreds of submissions a lot of them don’t really provide bad art 3.They don’t want to feel like a dick because artist work really hard with bad deadlines and this series just highlights the worse out of their portfolio(all though I don’t think it would be too big of a problem as long as they made that clear and maybe montage some of their really good work, like what he did with that one Wolverine image or Injustice panel). 4.Comments for this series are vitriolic. This was a tweet from 2018. I don’t know why it took so long for him to cancel this series publicly but he did do it on Twitter

[@Boundlessness]

Well, I guess at least we can say Liefeld doesn’t have a foot fetish.

[@Mr_Knight_87]

Rob Liefeld makes self-taught artists look bad.

[@joefell5311]

I always wondered what other professional comic artists thought of Rob and his artwork.

[@sevenapollo6882]

Apparently Robert Kirkman who did Marvel zombies and the walking dead, admires him and thinks he's a good artist. He said it in an interview with a comic KZbin channel, look it up.

[@floskywalker6220]

Please bring this back. Besides your retrospectives these were my favorite videos on this channel!

[@joejustjoe6015]

[@loudandfast1389]

The thing is, exaggerated proportional body parts *can* be done correctly. Rob Lifield may not know how to do it right, I personally believe that comic art is about making the art look as interesting, dramatic, and exciting as possible. Does Rob Lifield do those things? Well, yeah when you really think of it (in a bad way), the art is so bad, that you're interested in it. But, it could be worse.

[@InteriorCrocodileAlligator86]

So now that you've covered Liefeld, when will you cover Chris Chan?

[@substandardlysubpar9700]

There's nothing left to say about him.

[@slayertakim1]

who is Chris chan?

[@InteriorCrocodileAlligator86]

He's the guy behind Sonichu.

[@GatlingPea32]

I think they would not cover Sonichu since the focus of their videos are mainstream ones like Marvel or DC and not some Internet comic. But you have a point, it's just that some channels are not into that shit.

[@Changetheling]

If using other character designers' original parts and assembling them randomly can be considered "creations", then sure. Too bad that nobody remembers which where the writers that made said "original characters" be unique. And still, Liefeld will always take the check and the credit for that. That forgives much too, right?

At least Liefeld got a job and a career in the comic book industry. He made it which others were rejected. On the other hand, one of the reasons why the comic book industry fell back in the 90s other than weak storylines and concept was the numerous printing of first issues particularly those from Marvel Comics. Many felt that those first issues say X-Men, Spiderman, X-Force, etc. will become as expensive as those from The Golden Age or even The Silver Age. But they didn't!

[@_vixen_4504]

Well that is also Why they sold so much in the 90’s because people thought comics would become the big next thing. They just did not realise that something that is printed 2 million times is not going to be worth as much as something that was printed one thousand times.

[@flip1sba]

@@_vixen_4504 it was also why both Spider Man and X-Men 1 were best sellers.

[@_vixen_4504]

@@flip1sba well that and that the artists made them hip and actually seem like they weren't some old remnant of the 60's. Just look at Todd Mcfarlane's run on spiderman and his own run on spiderman. It was interesting and he made spider man actually seem like a guy who had gotten bitten by a radioactive spider. He had cool poses and he made the Web interesting to break away from the fishing rod that they had been using for the last 25 years.

From what I've read I'm now completely fucking hooked on the 60's series but its not exactly the most emotionally gripping.

[@GodzillaMendoza]

Psychobot For me, it didn't really get emotionally engaging until Gwen died. I'd say skip ahead to there because Gerry Conway's writing was stellar beyond that point, even if the dialogue was occasionally kind of cheesy. 70s and 80s are the golden years.

Rob Liefeld was the main reason I stopped buying comics. Not only because of his atrocious "artwork", but because everyone who should have spoken up about it did not do so, and just blindly signed it off for the next stage of the process. Colorist, inker, editor, printer and whoever else, all stayed silent. I can only theorise that Liefeld exudes some sort of reality distortion field that warps the vision, discernment and decision making of everyone in his vicinity.
