Neko_Ali:
My mind boggled seeing that picture of Captain America, Random. Then I read who the artist was. Liefied has always been absolutely terrible at anatomy, men and women... Still it breaks the mind and makes me want to scream "PEOPLE AREN'T MADE LIKE THAT!"
DSL:
Liefeld is kind of the reductio ad absurdum of the comic book anatomy argument. Aside from the overexaggeration in the infamous Cap drawing, there's the offsetting of his chest, the uncertainty over where the lower parts of his anatomy begin, and a face that's pretty much impossible. At least with that build, Cap can't see (how Liefeld would have drawn) his feet.
Game and Watch Forever:
Oh boy Liefeld... I'll just leave this here for anyone that wants to get more acquainted with how horrible unique his work can be.

--- Quote from: DSL on 31 Jul 2013, 03:35 ---Responding only for myself, the woman speaker whose name I cannot remember (dammit) was referring to comic book superhero artists. And you cannot deny that fabric, in particular spandex and its relatives, does NOT behave in the real world the way it does in the comic book world. Nor do most skeletal or muscular structures. Indeed, I begin to think the most commonly required superpower, tvtropes be damned, is the resistance to spinal problems later in life and the ability to recover from some of those poses into which (especially) superheroine characters are drawn.

Counterpoint:
There is substantial reason to think that comic book artists just suck at anatomy generally.

Looks to me like the artist got sidetracked and started to draw a typical comic book woman's chest, and then did some weird contortion trying not to own up to it.
Border Reiver:
No, from looking at his body of work, he has no idea of how to draw humans, or how clothing works, or about perspective, etc.
