I find it funny that the two pictures you compared, New Mutants and Youngblood. Who drew New Mutants? Oh wait, Liefeld, who drew Youngblood? Oh wait, Liefeld. So.. self plagiarism? Liefeld was taunting Marvel. There was nothing they could do about the fact he blatantly redrew the cover he drew for them.
There are plenty of artists who suck at drawing, but Liefeld will get you more hits. You. Are a hack. Do some real journalism.

Well said Mr. Rodney

Brett should drop it, and give it to Uwe Boll.
that way it goes along well enough to piss everyone out, anyways.

I agree with Rodney, Liefeld is a hack. He pretty much described his drawing style to the letter and all the gross errors!

Exactly, Liefeld is both admired and despised in the comic book world for his artwork, as for myself I find his artwork kinda crappy and have never been able to get past this issue when trying to read comics he is involved with.

Ah Youngblood, I remember I actually had a couple of the action figures as a kid. They were pretty cheaply made. Broke if dropped.

Actually the spam filter shot down your link, but its a great collection of the atrocities Liefeld committed during his career in print.

Sadly it only shows a glimpse at what we have endured.

Its not just an issue of oversized weapons (a trademark of earlier FF games) it’s an issue of being completely incapable of drawing people. Its not stylized, its just a lack of ability.

He cannot draw feet. Every female has the same face, and every male has the other face he can draw. They all have the same hairstyle.

In one frame he will draw Cable twice as big as a car, and in the next frame he is half that. There is no consistency and no proportions at all. Click on the links I scattered in the post. He is a hack.
