Who would you like to draw your character?

[der_kluge]

Jackson Pollack.

 

[kenjib]

Man Ray, Andy Warhol, or Frieda Kahlo would all work for me.

EDIT: I'd probably end up selling it and living the easy life instead though.

What are you talking about? Liefield ushered in a new era of lifelike art in comics with his Brigade series. Note the suble and lifelike facial expressions exhibited by each of his characters as well as their perfectly proportioned physiques. He must be the only comic illustrator to use real life models; its the only explanation for how he can make his superheroes so utterly realistic.

"Now...here's a happy little halfling monk living right here. See how he just seems to grow right out of the bodies of his fallen foes? And we'll just take our large fan brush and dip it lightly into some cadmium red and make a spray of blood erupting from the mouth of that big ole' orc warrior we put next to that blue spruce."

By god, two good laughs in one thread and on a Friday to boot. "cadmium red" gave me recollections of those wonderful afternoon naps I'd end up taking while watching Bob Ross on PBS...and the Liefield one nearly made me spit out the water I was drinking... Life is good

To stay on topic:

a picture spread containing every D&D character I every played by BRYAN HITCH. (since I'm on my Authority kick after picking up the *gorgeous* "Absolute Authority hardcover v.1" out this week). He's great at making art seem epic and "widescreen"

Who would I like to draw my character?

Any freakin' one.

Unfortunately, I haven't had a character I've kept long enough to get an artist to undertake it. plus I can't pay 'em anything yet, so not that many will do it for gratis.

 

[John Crichton]

Joe Madureira, Todd Lockwood, Sam Wood, Jeff Scott Campbell, or Rob Hunter.

 

[Prince Atom]

Yes, if I wanted a 3E feel I'd go with Lockwood or Wood.

However, if I had my druthers, I'd go with: John Romita Jr., Mark Bagley or Jim Cheung, in no particular order.

I dunno... Cheung's pseudo-manga style just does something for me... besides, when his characters are in action, I can see them moving in my mind's eye.

Romita Jr. and Bagley are both excellent artists, and they are my idea of Spider-Man more than McFarlane or Larsen. Spidey isn't buff; he's slender, and he's strong, which is the surprising thing. Superman looks strong, Spidey doesn't. He's not supposed to.

I can't decide if this is a troll or not. Are we talking about the same Rob Liefield?

Liefield has exactly 3 facial expressions in his repertoire:

• Steely Stare (Male)
• Sexy pout (Female)
• Teeth grtting Rage (inter-Gender)

Your "perfectly proportioned physiques" comment is the one that leads me to speculation about this being a troll. That comment, if serious, is borderline delusional.

Liefield's Captain America was often physically different from panel to panel in the same comic. Sometimes with his tiny little head way back on his enourmous torso, sometimes with his arms one bigger than the other, almost constantly with "hard to draw" bits (Feet for instance) obsured by smoke, panel frame or other elements.

He wasn't even just so-so as far as anatomy went; he was abominable.

He must be the only comic illustrator to use real life models; its the only explanation for how he can make his superheroes so utterly realistic.

Ok, you got me. Good troll

Jackson Pollack.

LOL

Here is a nice example of Rob Liefields brilliant anatomical sense. I give you Rob's interpretation of Wolverine!
