Knowing him, he'd probably try to sue!

So let's not put the org in trouble

Isn't Rob very arrogant, too? I think i've read this somewhere but i ain't sure.

shaomi said:

Pretty much. Todd McFarlane things he's too arrogant, and that is saying something, since he's one of the most arrogant assholes I've ever met.

...and now its time to play "How Big of a Plagerist is Rob Liefeld?"!

Here are some lovely examples of Rob boldly tracing...errr...paying homage to various creators:

Here we see Rob's Cap, obviously copied from a superior pic by Ron Garney:

Here's Rob's crap, side by side with an Arthur Adam's cover:

Wow! That is some blatant shit!

I've copied other artists (I'm a musician) but it was to learn, not to pass off as my own.

Rob nicking Arakami's Bubblegum Crisis:

HOW does this guy still have a frickin job, even with all the evidence that he obviously plagiarizes (and quite blatantly, even) other artists???? this is ridiculous, man...dude's got a lotta balls.

...and that's how it should be. i remember when i was first learning how to draw, i'd copy different styles from other artists, and i always learn different techniques from cartoonists for storylines and stuff. but yeah, never should you keep others' styles as your own, man. the key is to keep whatcha learn and do your own thing.

liefeld is an absolute hack. he should be ashamed of himself.

It's a very valuable learnig tool to copy art. Even incorporating other artist's styles into your own is okay, but to shamelessly rip of specific works and say they're yours is inexcusable.

Thanks jedi, I posted that first batch on an earlier thread this year, I couldn't find it at work. It's a okay to use other artists as inspiration, but I mean BLATANT copies is horrible.

Hey man. If somebody draws something
and then you draw the same thing right
on top of it, not going out-side the
designated original art what do call
that!

TRACER!!!!!


LMFAO

Linsner who did cry for dawn.... blecch

This has been hilarious. I knew Rob Liefield was not as great an artist as many thought he was, but seein' all these blatant ripoffs of other artists is pathetic.
I lost complete respect for him when he said Jim Lee was a 'pretty boy' artist.
It's amazing he's never tried to hack George Perez (my all-time favorite comic book artist) but then again, he couldn't. He'd have to use a scanner to copy George's work. Not sayin' that Rob in beyond that though.

the fucker's got a lotta nerve...

I think he said that because he can't copy Jim Lee. Thus, he calls him a 'pretty boy.' When I do draw stuff (which I don't have the time I would love to spend on it) George Perez, Jim Lee & John Byrne (old school X-Men stuff) are the artist whose styles I try to emulate because they were so detailed. Not that anything I draw could touch what they do, but they are at the top of my list for inspiration.
Ethan Van Scier (sp?) is another really good artist that I enjoy lookin' at as well.

I met George Perez a few years back and he did a wicked head sketch of spidey for me with a sharpie on a back board. I love it and will frame it one of these days.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Not into comics, but this thread has been a bloody good read.

JediMaster said:

About ten yrs ago when I use to read comics I remember seeing an ad for a character named "TROLL" or something who looked just like Wolverine, I wonder if that Rob dude have anything that.
