What? Just--what?

ROB LIFELD GETS BIBLICAL

Clearly *this* is a sign of the Apocalypse.

WAT.

Dear Mr. Liefeld,

A fancy colorist does not make you Alex Ross.

No love,
Slippy

It does make him look a bit less Liefeldian? At least in the small versions--I didn't quite dare click to look more closely, honestly. It's the Hawk and Dove approach to Liefeld--if you ink/cover/paint over him enthusiastically enough, maybe it'll look okay!

It can't get worse in any case, and I say that as someone who generally dislikes the "painted" style of comics, because I tend to find inked lineart more expressive and dynamic, precisely why I don't like Alex Ross much.

Some panels it actively impoves. Others, it only highlights the bad:

But the important question is, will the Anti-christ have tiny feet? And belt pouches?

IT IS TRULY THE SIGN OF THE BEAST, I TELL YOU. ;)

at first glance, that is... surprisingly not-horrible art. I am SO CONFUSED.

Yeah, there's an explanation for that--way down in the interview I linked.

RL: The digital paintings over my layouts and pencils are amazing. The work in collaboration with the digital artists whether it's Mike Capprotti or Emily Warren or Matt Yackey has just exceeded my expectations. I wanted to present the work in a different form than what I've done before and so far the reaction has been tremendously positive from everyone.

Liefeld paid someone to paint and/or Photoshop the hell out of his drawings so they'd look halfway decent. (This is a line of work you should get into, Karen!)

I was confused until I saw that trademark wrinkly crotches and faces remained. Then I knew that all was right with the world.
