ARGH! Why the hell does Rob "Lame"feld get work?

[LongDong]

Does anything even need to be said about the above picture? This guy has to be one of the WORST artists of the last 30 years yet he continues to get work. WHY?

 

[The Leaguer]

Because you can make wildly inventive plays on his last name like "Lamefeld." Why would comic companies want to deprive comedic geniuses like yourself that opportunity?

 

[Darthphere]

Snap! And he's actually gotten better.*


*still crap

 

[Harlekin]

Because he has an energetic, action-orientated style.

If I didn't enjoy my eyes, I'd claw them out.

Yeah, asinine post number 2 and 3 aside, this guy does some ****TY work, I just don't get it.

 

[Darthphere]

Asinine because they dont agree with your opinion?

 

[Arkady Rossovich]

I guess he gets low pay,so its good bussiness to keep him working.

 

[The Leaguer]

Stop disagreeing and attacking his opinion, or he will report you.

 

[tzarinna]

Why?!

 

[Darthphere]

Tza, trust me, he's pretty bad, but nowhere nearly as bad anymore. He even apologized for that pic.

Its great he sent me a PM asking if I had a problem with him.

 

[The Leaguer]

He did the same to me, but just concluded I'm a jackass. Convenient, because that's what I would have responded with.

He even apologized for that pic.

Did he really?

man, what's your problem? it's as if you feel this need to attack any user for having an opinion. it's a message board. people post things to generate discussion, not to please some arrogant prick who thinks he's better than everyone else.

 

[Darthphere]

Yeah, Elijya posted a video to some video diary for Onslaught Reborn he was doing.

It's hard to let go of the past.

 

[Darthphere]

It's hard to let go of the past.

True, but he drew that pic like what maybe 7-8 years ago? For god's sake.


And to actually answer the question posed here, its simple, people still buy his comics, so dont get mad at him for being mediocre, get mad at people buying his mediocre book.

They should.

Do you remember where?

 

[Darthphere]

Do you remember where?

Pretty sure it was in the Zevs on a thread, thread.

Oh Liefeld, you set my heart aflutter.

Oh, you already know how I feel about people now.

Either way, that pic was basically my introduction to him.

 

[tzarinna]

O I agree it's bad.

 

[Red Mask]

You can't beat the Devil. LOL!

 

[Kool-Aid]

I did.

Why? Because there are still droves of people who are actual fans of his work. I've seen web pages and message boards dedicated to him and actually defending his work. Some of his peers still consider him to be extremely good at putting action on a page. Personally? I know they say he's gotten better (like Darth is repeating) but I don't see it, I still see the same bad quality drawings.
