Funny images that aren't quite WTF images

You know what the saddest part is? I've seen him do good work. When he made an effort, he was apparently capable of a decent Jim Lee knock-off.

I do not, however, think he know how to draw people in normal clothes--without every muscle fiber, straining tendon, and bursting-forth mess of jumbled vascularity somehow pushing through the--for some reason--cellophane-thin surface of, say, a pair of khaki pants.



The problem with Cap, above, by the way isn't necessarily that the chest is too large, it's that the body is drawn from the side and the chest is drawn from the front. He doesn't feel the need to reconcile this not making any sense because he started with the sheild (at a perfectly, improbably round-presenting angle) and then just filled in around the edges. There is no anatomy--real or imagined--which links the different parts of the body together. The 'massive pecs' actually have no depth at all--about half an inch maybe? And he doesn't bother adding any dimension to the belt buckle--it's literally four pen strokes, and then the whole thing fizzles out with some shitty cross-hatching on the crotch, presumably designed to instruct the viewer, "you're looking at the wrong part"

By the way...where's the rest of his arm? Amputated below the elbow?!

Rob Leifeld is a shit sandwich.
