It's fun to look at Liefeld's art, but Land's just makes me cringe.
Erica Henderson
That's so offensively bad, imagine spending 4 bucks on that
I can't tell which of these characters has bigger tits.
Land since he keeps getting series involving characters I care about
Jackson/Butch Guice is just a more talented Greg Land.
Change my view
What a terrible case of sameface
>that video of stan lee and rob designing a character together
>even stan can't help but make fun of the gratuitous shoulderpads
Land
Deodato Jr
Liefeld
Humberto Ramos
When this was released in Japan as a trade, they changed the cover to a Anime stylized Squirrel Girl but left the interior art untouched.
Janin. It looks like a bunch of sexdolls posing
Chris Bachalo
Ramos is probably the worst artist Spider-Man ever had.
but what if
Grob Lanfield
can Marvel just hire some mangaka to draw their comics
get them out of the japanese sweatshops they work in
His style looks like it only attracts children or adults who never matured after middle school in the early 2000s
it's happened in the past
He was good for Impulse, but doesn't work for adult characters being serious business.
Mostly he exists to make us miss Mike Wieringo.
>its cool to pretend to like Liefeld's now
fuck off
Why not create a thread celebrating an artist you like instead of jeering an artist you hate? What does this thread say about you?
Natasha Allegri
this is beyond atrocious
rob liefeld defined a generation
for better or worse he's part of comic book culture
and he's actually a pretty cool guy, he got a lot of talent into comics through image
he doesn't really deserve to be HATED
greg land is possibly the worst possible artist in comics.
he's swiped other people's work, he's gotten much worse as an artist as time has gone on, and he's a terrible influence for aspiring artists. "why try when you can just trace everything"
>Greg Land
i like his art sue me
Land technically doesn't make art. But if you count tracing then is correct.
Land's art makes my dick hard at least
I'M SURPRISED HE HASN'T BEEN SUED!
What's wrong with his style? It looks like a lesser Mignola but it's not horrible
Chris Chan
Well at least right is a physically possible body type for a woman to have.
Liefeld's is at least charmingly stupid. Land art legitimately makes books unreadable just due to how fucking distracting the traced porn faces are.
Well, yeah. Because some actual woman _does_ have that body (or a close approximation thereof.)
Left makes me nostalgic for the era when people just criticized Liefeld's feet.
Most of the hate directed at Land has to do with his working methods, not the final result.
Except that everyone is having an orgasm.
I look up all the names and their art, it makes me genuinely nauseous
She's really not that bad in the interiors, or at least she improved later on.
Everyone always posts this one cover as an example, whenever you see just one or two examples reposted over and over you should always question whether it's cherrypicking.
>Ramos
>Mignola
Rags Morales
>crowclaw
Paindoom sounds funny
>Blackrun
WAT?
Night Blaze
All Philippine artist of DC Comics, it's like they're stuck on 1950s Comic illustration style.
bro what the fuck, that shit looks like some fan comic on reddit
Nightwhip.
I can post a hundred bad comics from her and you can't post a single comic from her that looks good.
That's because this is not cherrypicking, she is bad all the time, you are the one in full denial just to be contrarian.
Gunjack
Humberto Ramos
Alex Ross
how very Yea Forumsmblr of you.
Deodato
Shitty 3D model user
Swiping a fucking Lego Snowspeeder 3D model.
>rob, ya gave him too many SHOLDAH PAHDS
>what is he? a fuckin linebackah?
>blood-blaze
Sue Storm should always have massive cans.
Not Land.
mom of two doesnt have monster cans?
sacrilege!
This is easily the worst page ever published by marvel. Sure we can post all the Land and Liefeld, but they at least had enough polish to pass as a professional work (just usually with wonky anatomy or stolen tracing), but usually there's something on the page that was done well, usually inking or colours.
This is just atrocious and I cannot believe someone was paid for this.
it's always the most posted because it's the worst offender. Like anyone has time to post a different horrible page everytime just for your stupid brain to get it
>Shadowrun
Is Liefeld's art technically sound? Fuck no. But its always dynamic and exciting and even at its worst, it's fun.
I can't hate it. There are so many bad artists now I can't even retain their names. Shit that looks like rough layouts colored with photoshop. Not even inked.
But as far as well known names I'd say Deodato has become fucking horrid.
That's pretty but I'd hope most people in a store would look on the inside before buying.
rollin'
What the fuck, that's a real page? That is frightening that thats the best of someone's ability.
That just makes me sad for people like greg capullo, Gary Frank, Jason Fabok. Alex Ross. Ivan Reis. Jim Lee, etc who actually put in the work and time into making a great page. Why bother trying when you can just shit on the page and have it published by a major publisher. Fucking embarrassing.
Fucking kek I forgot about that, unreal
I swear you could pass this off as a fan comic even webcomics look better than this.
This
My god did those Beyonder designs suck ass.
>look on the inside
This may come as a surprise to you, but the average Japanese person is dumb as fuck which is why retarded shit like Boku no Hero Academia becomes a big hit and also why their porn sucks
Enough with the what the fucks you drama babies. The artist was rushed I believe cause the writer was indecisive or somethin
Yes, unlike the enlightened Americans, who willingly buy shit like and knowing full well what it looks like.
>The artist was rushed
Show me the best of him/her then. Even greg "tracing porn" land has numerous of good old art.
>has numerous of good old art.
in English, Pedro?
nope, that looks so boring
looks like something produced by Klasky Csupo
This
Fucking awful shit, so ugly and stiff
I posted the original comic, and while I still think it's the biggest piece of shit i've seen, it's not her best work
instagram.com
instagram.com
granted, these look like if I were to keep up my own artwork from when I started my drawing anime phase
also fuck you rushed or not, the shitty artwork is inexcusable for something you actually charge money for
more like this is what happens when you hire an artist who's only experience drawing is from doing cutesy doodles with watercolor for a comic book
people really don't appreciate the skill level you have to be a comic book artist
>Bladeshard
is it bad that I sorta like it?
I wouldn't if I could, my english as first language bro.
I always found it weird how Erica would draw androgynous women with no tits, while she's a titty monster.
Fuck off faggot. It's a job so it has to be done well or it has to be done for free. Even Greg Land takes the fucking time to draw a proper background.
Humberto Ramos is up there.
>Shitty 3D model user
Jesus, I know deadlines can be a bitch (I've done commercial art jobs) and sometimes you gotta take shortcuts to get the job done. But if you're gonna trace a 3D model, at least use it for an extreme pose or perspective shot that would be really difficult to do by hand...
>Land friend me good
X-Shot
I'm surprised this isn't already an X-men name
This is cute. I kinda find wholesome Natasha's art.
Wait a minute, was it published in a actual comic book? It looks like a webcomic or something right out of tumblr.
Szymon Kudranski. This motherfucker here is a fucking pose tracer of the worst kind. His art is lifeless as fuck (go read one of the comics he's """penciled""") and you can clearly fucking see that it's traced, but he still gets work for the Big 2.
Is there any fucking way of getting these people fired?
Yep, the beyonders were toys. BTW every single one of them were more powerful that the original "baby" beyonder.
she hates her tits, she's embarrassed by her body, it is internalized misogyny
goddamnit I hate him so much, I got excited when he was announced on Fallen Angels but he's probably staying on Punisher too
dude could probably knock out a dozen plus books a month that lazy filtering and repeating panels
Fucking hell, you can see where the fill bucket missed the edges! Dobson has better quality control than this!
>she hates her tits
Really?
That doesn't look bad, but I can see how he/she/xir skill does not transition well into a comic.
>shadowhawk
could definitely be worse desu
No. She's shit always.
Off the top of my head, I can't fucking stand Deodato. I mean jesus there are so many books I can't read just because his art style is so awful
Excuse me sir, did someone mention shit artist? Because i believe i heard someone mentioned shit artist
Yeah, but look at her horrible pig face. It all makes sense
Bloodfire
Guys help my blood is on fire
Isn't that Skottie Young?
>Shitting on boku no hero
It's miles better than your comics captain cope.
>and he's actually a pretty cool guy
He's a liar, a cheat, an embezzler, and a giant oversensitive manbaby who can't meet a deadline to save his life and hasn't had an original idea since 1987, but he puts on this dudebro facade and brainlets like you lap it up.
he's chill in real life you seem butthurt
C Y B E R C L A W
Is this Bionicles?
Reminds of that tragedy...
>Gunrun
Livio Ramondelli is a great scenery/scale artist, incredible stuff but god stop letting the man draw transformers he's melting them
Frank quietly.
Honestly I prefer fucked up anatomy to the shit Janin does.
Speaking of terrible Transformers artists, who could forget the great Pat Lee?
this is like a worst shitty scott pilgrim
What if your power is that you set other people's blood on fire?
You sound like an incel. She's not ugly, just average-looking.
sorry buddy, there only room for one Nightwhip
Nigerundayo!
Unpopular opinion incoming:
I hate John Romita Jr.
I know a LOT of people on here seem to really love him, but I find anything he's drawn to be almost painful to look at.
That includes his work on
>Spider-Man (of which I've seen the most since the 90's)
>Avengers (he's especially bad with Iron-Man)
>Superman (ROMITA IS COMING, lol?)
>Kick-Ass (absolutely disgusting art)
I know art is subjective, but fuck me...can't stand his shit.
Yup! But I would put that god awful hellcat issue up there too
Please someone with the initials I.Y. visit this thread.
Or M.F.
Or Y.N.
This is fun.
hey, so this is unrelated to your post, but when Reed is in a situation like that, are his little legs on the other end of the page running to catch up with the rest of his body?
Can't hate on Land for loving the finer things in life
JRJR sucks when he has to do faces.
So is the Smug Asian Man that Land always uses?
Who did Land trace for Sue here?
>Blastshot
>Bladerazor
A fucking razor blade
The only good anwser in this thread.
Somenody please post that spread with like 30 characters, where you cant see their feet
I swear she must some from some variant of prosopagnosia where she can't recognize faces correctly, but instead as some horrible twisted monstrosities thus her artwork where the humans faces look nothing like how actual human faces look.
This probably isn't the one you're thinkig of but it's the best I could find on short notice.
>I don't know what my favorite part of this is, the fact that Liefeld couldn't draw a clean half-circle for the moon and made it diamond shaped or Sunspot's epic pouch-suspenders with matching codpiece. Wait, I know, it's the WORST ARM EVER DRAWN attached to the tallest Steven Seagal in a neckerchief ever attempted. Or maybe it's Domino's right boob jutting out of the side of her ribcage and dwarfing her shoulder. Is she holding a super soaker? What's that tube for? And why did she wear a one-piece v-neck bathing suit to the moon?
>Liefeld gets extra points here for hiding every single foot and just arbitrarily deciding how big and how much of a floating head everyone should be. The right half is clearly the only cover he intended, and the left half is his sketch notes. Nobody would give EVERYBODY on the team thigh pouch belts. I think the tall guy is how Rob Liefeld sees himself.
I'm genuinely not sure where to draw the line between a shit artist and a highly stylised form of art.
someone post the frank face meme page
No
>Stretch the top half of him to wherever he needs to go
>Unstretch, thereby pulling his bottom half to wherever his top half already is
it's the only way to function desu
Oh, duh. I don't know why I didn't think of that. For some reason I just couldn't help but picture his legs trying to keep up with his upper half.
I guess for a moment he has to put his hands on the ground so he doesn't fall on his face though, right?
This is just a really good edit, right? There is no way this exists.
You are indeed correct in your assumption, friend.
It's an edit which probably took more time and effort than the conception of the new Sith Trooper.
What the hell is wrong with that mans arm?
He could just snap his legs up under himself quickly
There's nothing worse than those artists that try to be as photo-realistic as possible. If a comic book has art that looks like Greg Land's, I refuse to read it. Not out of stubbornness, but because my brain becomes instantly bored from looking at it.
Gary Franks, Jim Lee, Ross, Reis are just as bad.
How can anyone like this edgy scribbled 90s trash? And this is supposed to be one of the most revered comics of all time.
Dave Sim. He's a misogynist who can't even draw, his "comics" are just text with some traced images or cool backgrounds drawn by a different artist.
>Shatterwhip
I got the stripper name
Gunslash? Not bad. Not bad at all.
Bladeshard
Eh
We were having a great thread with lots of good, healthy debate and even some agreement before you two knuckle-dragging niggers had to come and ruin the fun for everyone. Congratulations you stupid shitbirds, someone's going to take the bait and discussion will derail to something about Sharia Law.
Greg Land traces, that's bad. Dave Sim traces, that's good. Explain yourself.
I agree. Every face has the same lips and lines. Its really hard to look at.
he'll explain himself by calling you a nigger, that's all he's got
>
jesus
Dave Sim has talent, you're butthurt about political and social issues rather than the art. Fuck off
Top kek
some things are better left forgotten
I'd like you to do cross hatching 1/10 as good as that. You heard to be upset about this guy from the news and now you're throwing around buzzwords, you're contributing nothing to this thread nor society
This is some 2007 3D porn comic shit.
why did you have to remind me of this monstrosity
IceHawk
if you think any of these are bad then you haven't read a single manga.
Where?
Look at the top of the ship my dude, those are blatant Lego pieces.
Ah, I really should have known that.
>has talent
Then why does he trace fashion magazines? Why are you upset at Greg Land for tracing but love it when Dave Sim does it? I'll tell you why: because Dave Sim is also a misogynist like you and liking him makes your inceldom validated.
Who said I'm upset about Greg Land tracing? Furthermore as this user already pointed out you're using buzzwords because you've been told to be offended. So weird how you didn't reply to him as well, almost like you don't have an actual defense. Come back when you've learned about actual drawing.
I'm not going to try and justify tracing.
But I don't think artists get paid much to begin with. And they have tight schedules.
I know I sure as shit would use a lot of references to cheat with clothing and crap.
But that's because I'm a hack.
I don't know how the actually good artists do everything from characters to landscapes on a tight deadline.
lmao, what is this from?
doesn't posting Pat means you have to deal with the backstage stuff as well (letting others do his work then taking the credit)?
U.S. War Machine 2.0
I got Over-Razor which makes zero sense, so I switched my initials around and got Black Jack which is painfully generic.
Iceshard actually makes sense and is not that edgy.
Shadow Siege
I don’t understand why we just can’t clone Ryan Ottley at this point.
Blaststrike
>Shadow-shot
Fuck, the fucking absolute fucking state of fucking Marvel, fuck
If this was from someone's deviantart or something like that, I wouldn't be upset. It's got that doodly fanart look.
In an actual book, yeah nah fuck off.
Yes, it was published. Note I'm not slamming the art style, not everything has to be Jim Lee. But it's incredibly sloppy (no consistent ink lines) and even if it was rushed... Was it done in an hour?
>actually defending this shit
someone hit a nerve there, buddy?
these threads actually give me more motivation to practice properly so i don't end up like any of the artists ITT
I can't believe this has actually been published...
If you really think Land and Liefeld are the worst capeshit has to offer then you're a casualfag who gets all his news from clickbait sites

Is it really a case of "cherrypicking" when the cherry you find on the tree is horribly misshapen, covered in cancerous tumors, and capable of poisoning you to death while all the while fruit bloggers are typing out articles how brave and badass it is?
We have a winner !
Remember that she actually got accolades from people praising her for putting in a black transwoman. She actually had to explain that, no, that was just a biologically female black woman she just happened to draw exactly like a man in a wig.
>misogynist
Go back to Metafilter, cuck.
>Shadow Whip.
I mean... I don't hate it. But I feel like it would better for an anime villainess than a middle aged white guy.
sauce for the keks
the sweatshops pay more.
This wasn't drawn. It was shat into existence.
Honestly, and nobody agrees with me when I say this, but the first US War Machine was actually pretty fun. It was an interesting alternate reality with a good plot and, while it did heavily feature race politics, it wasn't all #WOKE about it. There were good black people and bad black people. Hell, the main villain was a genocidal mulatto who made the mistake of pissing off Doom because he made race-specific genocidal vaccines and included one for gypsies.
Congratulations. You actually got a (you) out of me.
I honestly can't tell if Skottie Young is incredibly talented or absolutely garbage. I do thing his comedy is ass, and I never even smirked at either I Hate Fairyland or his Deadpool run. Skottie Young's sense of humor is basically one of those foil stickers that you used to get out of quarter machines to slap on your skateboard in the 80s.
Crowforce.
I'm a one off character aren't i?
Shitty stiff house style is bad though. Lee destroyed the style.
