Tracing on Comics and also Rob Liefeld Sucks

[Mashirosen]

Now c'mon, let's be fair -- he doesn't just trace porn. Greg Land's lightbox is a multi-talented artist with a fearlessness in "interpreting" new material not seen since, I dunno, Roy Lichtenstein.

That also puts one over Land.

I'll not lie. This is the funniest damn thing I've read all day....

Now for a tasteful splash page of the Human Torch fucking The Thing missionary-style! Splash page? More like SLASH page, am I right!

Note the Torch’s full, supple buttocks. If this isn’t a drawing of a naked guy on fire anally violating a semi-nude grotesquery in midair I don’t know comic books! The Thing’s blow-up-doll mouth is also kind of disturbing, as is the fact that he kinda looks like he’s pretty into it. Never would have figured Ben Grimm to be a bottom, but there you have it.

At least they’re face-to-face, so you know this ain’t just some cheap fuck; there’s some passion involved at least. Work those nipples, Johnny! Work them good!

One of my favorite satires on the works of Rob Liefeld came from one Mr. Jhonen Vasquez:



It goes on for a few more pages but you get the point.

EDIT: I'm kinda starting to think we may need to change the thread title to "Tracing in comics and also Rob Liefeld sucks."

What annoys me most about Greg Land is that, as mentioned a couple times earlier, once upon a time he used to actually draw his own stuff and it was pretty damn good. It's a goddamn waste of talent whereas Rob has none.

Which one is the tragic figure?

Oh, and in that Vasquez things are the two characters mocking the Liefeldites supposed to be aliens or undead creatures of some kind? Or maybe fashion models.

The Reader.

That Jhonen Vasquez comic needs about 2500 pouches.

But where would all the muscles go, then?

And she can't have a pencil-thin waist if she's surrounded by pouches!

they are meant to be actual human beings, granted human beings that need a higher calorie diet, but still more realistic
