I actually don't mind Liefeld and enjoy some of his work. This is not a RL bashing thread, those have been done to death and warranted in some cases, this is a .......did he ever give an explanation as to what the heck is going on this cover????Whose face.....why only a face.....and that hand........why?

Let's see if I can dig it up...

Oh yes, here it is:

 

Rob Liefeld: "I'm not so great at drawing."

 

Probably for the best if you don't try to verify that quote, but I assure you that it is almost certainly real.

An art book of his work with him explaining what he was thinking could be an interesting read. On this particular piece, I would be interested to know why he spent time making their cheeks so gaunt.

He did that with everyone.  Well men anyway. That wuz just how he drew cheeks-rodent-like.

if i was him, i'd just blame the inker.  or the non-credited studio assistants.  or anything, really

He could blame the readers for just not 'getting it'.  That seems to be the Marvel approach.

Has anyone read the issue...is it about body parts? Any insight would be appreciated. Does anyone loose a hand or face?

No one reads Liefeld books so no one has a clue.

Things are pretty bad as an artist when you cant even properly foreshorten a circular shield

Thank you.  This is mind boggling to me-its so easy to do.  Not only did he screw that up, its also crooked!

To me the most distracting and disconcerting thing is the muscle striation/burn scarring on his neck and shoulders

AGREED

I also hate the thighs that are longer than his torso
