I think we are.
Yeah, we are talking about comics with shitty art. So, the reference is not entirely without merit.

I agree. It's stiff, has no motion, and drawing a character from afar doesn't mean you can skimp on detailing.

I am simply obsessed with the feet. I don't know how he has ever seen feet in 95% of the positions he draws them in. In that panel, he draws them like they are standing on tiptoes and a foot that's narrower than the ankle it's attached to. While on flat ground.

It is incredibly bad.

I don't think he spends anywhere nears as much time on the art as he did when he was working on New Mutants. Also, he inks while driving: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZ9hjJabvaI

Yeah, his name should be taken off the title. He did some bad work but nothing close to Liefelds shit.

Why does it look like he's ripping off early TMNT poses?

Liefeld is holding a contest for people to write a short story with his characters. Sad to say, as an aspiring cartoonist, that working for Liefeld, or possibly Erik Larsen, is probably my best bet to getting into the comics industry.

Well, if I were you I would go for it. If you get the job and eventually get a body of work going just dump his ass. The only thing I would be worried about is he steals your shit and passes it as his own. I wouldn't put it past him to do something like that even though there is a disclaimer on the site. It isn't too hard to just to steal the plot.

Simple solution: Always show your characters feet and no pouches. No way could he claim it.

Sal Buscema? I read the Kree-Skrull War, his artwork wasn't terrible. It was undistinguished, certainly, especially next the dynamic Neal Adams stuff, but it was clean and efficient.

That's gotta be intentional. Even a hand is missing.

Still not a perfect Liefeld rendering, though.

You'll notice that the sword looks like it is actually gripped in his hand the blade looks like it's coming from the hilt.

He should also have a sash covered in pouches. Not enough on the belt.

Rob wants to Kickstart a free issue of an updated Brigade:

BRIGADE and its creator Rob Liefeld ( Deadpool, Cable, X-Force ) are returning to comics and we want everyone to get a FREE copy of the re-imagined Brigade! Brigade launched in the summer of 1992 and was one of the most popular books at Image Comics. The book featured a colorful cast of characters, Battlestone, Coldsnap, Lethal, Seahawk, Thermal, Stasis and Roman united against the forces of evil. The cast and concept of Brigade have been radically updated and re-imagined and I’d like everyone to get a copy for free! I can only do this with your support and commitments on Kickstarter. Last year, Top Cow productions successfully re-launched Cyber Force with this Free Initiative, inspiring this Brigade launch!

By funding this Free Initiative you are helping provide Free copies of Brigade to comic stores in the U.S. and Canada as well as Free digital downloads of Brigade. The more money raised, the more FREE copies and issues we can produce. A FREE comic breaks through all barriers and crosses all ages, a free comic provides a risk-free experience that can create a doorway into a new world of imagination and wonder. Brigade with its fresh, bold direction and characters will provide a dynamic comic book experience for readers old and new.



Re-imaged = Feet and no pouches.

EXTREME!!!
