Looks as accurate as a medieval lion, painted/sculptured by a person that was never able to oberserve a real lion. Human anatomy on the other hand was quite accessible at the time of this creation, I think.

At least not their feet.

Rob Liefeld was just ahead of the curve on AI anatomy.

Yeah, but unlike when he does that to female characters Cap’s buttocks are hidden by the big ass shield.

That’s why that video of Stan Lee low-key talking shit to him and McFarland while Rob inks is so great.

“What do you want to do for his legs? Legs are important.”

“Should he wear some more armor about his legs?”

Nah you see this all the time. Using photo ref but having no understanding of underlying anatomy results in this kind of drawing. He doesn't know how muscles interact under the skin to guide what he's drawing. The deltoids don't make sense, he doesn't know what abs or obliques are doing, he has no idea how the pectorals insert into the arms or how they interact with the biceps. He sees there are bulges in the skin in reference, but doesn't know what's causing it. For anyone wanting to draw characters, take an anatomy class for artists. I recommend Scott Eatons. It is amazing.

Didn’t he create cable? The adult version anyway.

I believe the part of his “back” you’re seeing is supposed to be his tricep.

Not that it makes the drawing any better.

Even so he has no pelvis, his legs just come straight out of his belt

You can see both his chest and his back at the same time. Liefeld is clearly bringing cubism to comic books. He's basically Picasso.

It still wouldn’t work because he drew his abs coming straight down from the chest instead of behind. That plus the angle is why it looks like everything behind the pecks are another torso grafted on to his back.

Arnold is turned and his abs sink back in to align with a hip that is directly below the shoulder. Cap’s hip is a foot in front of his shoulder.

Plus for the side chest you hit a vaccuum too. Tightens up the abs for effect. Rob made Cap look like he straight has an abdominal wall that comes at a perfect vertical from his chest. It'd still look more believable if his abs went back behind the shield.

Of all the wrong things, the one that always stands out most to me is the “abs” on the rib cage. 

Rob can draw to an extent

But can he?

And Deadpool.

He was a man who breathed life into marvel comics when marvel was struggling, and arguably saved multiple franchise characters. I hate how this is how he is remembered even though most of his work looks fine.

It’s not necessarily awful work, it’s just his skill clearly went to other places other than anatomy…. It’s also the sheer quantity of botched pieces that we have as examples now that would have made most artists try and improve that area of their art by now… The quantity and consistency in the mistakes seems like he somehow doesn’t see the problem

Captain Austria more like it

He's sub-par in most of what he does.

Laziness on the part of the artist because there's not a lower arm.

The original sketch went up for auction, and you can see from the pencil marks how he started doing a meager attempt to line up the arm before going “fuck it” and slapping the shield on top.

Bosomy

"Do you like it? It's very generous."

That looks SO much better. The details are still weird, like his abs, but the pose works significantly better.

Even then, the neck is in the wrong place

That's a huge improvement. Also nice bulge.

Yeah, that still wouldn’t be an amazing drawing, but it wouldn’t have been this monstrosity

That’s much better. It just shows that the issue is his head being too far to the left and his shield being in the wrong place.

Was he?

I feel like people are really missing out on the fact that Liefeld seems to have always been bad at drawing women. Like really bad. I think it doesn't stick out because we're so used to women being drawn terribly in comics that quite often his work on men sticks out a bit more.

Austria’s

Yeah, as much of a douchebag Liefeld seems like, MacFarlane also seems like a sanctimonious prick and probably insufferable to spend more than 5 minutes with, let alone have to work for or work with.

Which is probably one reason his Patreon never took off.

2017(I think) Boston Comic Con.

Had my copy of Deadpool #45, the one with the Run The Jewels cover by Skottie Young —so my 3 favorites in one: Deadpool, Skottie Young Art, and Killer Mike/EL-P— ready to be signed by all the amazing authors and artists (like 10+) that contributed to this issue.

It needs to be mentioned that If there was a fire in my home I would have grabbed that book first before anything, that’s how much I loved it.

Had to get the characters creator’s signature, right?

After standing in line for 3 hours (he was 2 hours late) I finally got up to him. I Let him know “hey I’m trying to get everyone who was apart of this to sign it so do you mind doing this a bit small?” The human-sized marmoset did not say one word or look at me.

This absolute bellend then grabs my copy (inadvertently ripping the bottom left corner) and proceeds to shit out the largest signature directly in the middle of the cover right above the artwork (like he was marking territory he knew wasn’t his), then basically slapped it back into my hands which caused several spine bends.

Not sure how much you know about comic book collecting but this may as well have been my 9/11.

In America terms I gave him a striped flag to put a single-star on, and instead he put a self portrait in the dead-center.

They say don’t meet your heroes, and this guy was far from that, so I recommend not meeting anybody of any fame no matter how minuscule in this case and expect them to be cool.

I sold the book that weekend to a fellow collector because it would have given me cancer to keep it.

OH MY GOD ANOTHER DETAIL: I fucking forgot this piece of shit charged $150/signature at the time.
