Wow! That's not awful at all!

His lower body is bigger than his upper body, but it's nowhere near as bad as I expected it to be.

It's a radical improvement over what he normally does. That said, it's still not great.

Overall not bad. The feet still don't look right, though.

Yeah I do see some improvements, but he still needs to work more on the human anatomy. Also is it me or does it look like he's carry a baby doll then an actual live baby?

Can't be Liefeld.

Look at the feet. They aren't obscured. You can actually see them.

The perspective's pretty jacked up....look at Cable's left ankle and foot. The foot is considerably smaller than it should be, and if he's not careful, he's going to have a bad sprain.

Why does he have a monstrous shoulder pad on his right shoulder, but not his left? (Answer....to obscure his inability to correctly proportion human joints. See next paragraph.)

His right arm is also too long and/or too low. It seems to be disconnected from his shoulder (what we can see of it.) In any event, it's too far away from his head, in proportion to his left arm.

And what's the cape attached to? The middle of his back?

As well, the baby looks like a minituare adult, but most people have problems drawing babies correctly.

But...maybe, finally...he's trying to improve.

Is Cable wearing Uggs?

I don't like it. This guys has been in the biz for way too long to get away with the stuff he gets away with on a regular basis. But what do I know, I can't draw for crap.

Dr. Solar · Post by **Dr. Solar** » Tue Feb 12, 2008 5:15 pm

Come on, he should definitely get a "most improved" award.

From bleah to meh. That's a big step.

Dude you dont have to be able to draw to tell the difference between acceptable art and dogsh it on a stick.

Maybe the problem is the McDonalds over in teh UK.

I mean, here they serve hamburgers, cheeseburgers, fries, stuff like that.

None of this dog poop on a stick that you keep mentioning (unless this is one of those English "slang" things).

Are those guns or industrial strength hair dryers? I am curious as to who the inker/painter is on the cover. Maybe Liefeld appears improved due to an accomplished inker. If I recall, his covers looked better when McFarlane inked him.

Wow, now I knew about movie nazis, never knew there were comic art nazis lol, may as well join in!!

On his right hand, why are there 2 bones connecting his middle finger to his wrist? Is that an implant? I dont have that.

Smashey · Post by **Smashey** » Tue Feb 12, 2008 7:35 pm

Hope that baby is either deaf or wearing some industrial strength ear plugs too.

thePike · Post by **thePike** » Tue Feb 12, 2008 10:37 pm

Those guns are super weird... If nothing else, those would give it away as a Liefield.

Also, the light source on the back of his crotch - where's that coming from? Is the light of Odin shooting from his @$$?

Smashey · Post by **Smashey** » Tue Feb 12, 2008 11:37 pm

I also like how he is wearing a knee pad to protect his knee from strawberries, yet he kneels down on the other knee. Hes going to wear a hole through his pants!~!!!

Chiclo · Post by **Chiclo** » Tue Feb 12, 2008 11:38 pm

Where are the pouches?

Smashey · Post by **Smashey** » Tue Feb 12, 2008 11:40 pm

And his gun!!! He cant even fit his hand around the handle!!!! He is palming it. His thumb cant reach the hammer to cock it back, and if you look where the trigger is supposed to be, THERE IS NO TRIGGER (guess it doesnt matter since his fingers cant reach it anyway),

SOMEBODY TELL HIM BEFORE HE GOES INTO COMBAT THAT ROB FORGOT TO GIVE HIM A TRIGGER!!!

Smashey · Post by **Smashey** » Tue Feb 12, 2008 11:43 pm

Those are some might small shell casing for how big those barrels are....

Ok im done i think

Rob still doing work!!How can this dude still keep doing stuff in the industry still trips me out.

PS: That picture is not good at all.

Your concerns are not unfounded, Smashey.

He would not have to work the hammer independantly if the firearms he carries are double action. However, the lack of a trigger is quite concerning because the shooter can cock the hammer or striker by pulling the trigger.

The sidearm that Cable holds in his right hand appears to be a revolver and it is entirely possible that the bore is considerably smaller than the barrel. Revolvers don't eject shell casings as they are fired, so clearly those shells go to that flare gun in his left hand.

I am reminded of a tv special I once saw about the first commercially available semi-automatic pistol. It featured a grip that sat some 90 degrees beneath the slide - they were perpendicular to one another. Modern pistols stick around a 55 degree separation between the two. Nonetheless, Cable's flare gun there looks like the grip angle is quite uncomfortable and unwieldy. I hope that oblong bore is part of a barrel shroud.

Upon closer inspection, I see the pouches now. He's got a bracelet around his left wrist that is made of pouches.
