The Thread for Art & Art Appreciation

Here's a thing I started.  It's not turning out anything like I wanted.  I think I'll either start over or just leave it.

Is this a safe space to admit that Rob Liefeld's grown on me some?

A doctor would probably be able to remove that for you.
 
Liefeld may have improved some since the '90s, but I still don't like his style. I don't like Jim Lee's style, either. Or Todd McFarlane's.
 
First off, that Liefeld Superman is low key kinda hot.

Second off, that one drawing isn't enough to redeem Rob for me. I will always associate his drawings with silly. 

Third, you take that back, Todd McFarlane us best artist. 
(actually, funny you mention that, my father was just telling me the other day about how, upon revisiting Spawn, he realized that Todd McFarlane’s art isn't as good as he remembered, and that he preferred his writing over his arting.)

I never said it "redeemed" him.  Plus, there's other work of his I like (such as a backup story he drew in an issue of Walt Simonson's Orion run back in '01 or so).  And he is, at least, self-aware regarding the silliness.

But yeah, a lot of his 90's output is just bad.
 
That was just my opinion, you're welcome to yours.

I drew everyone's favorite hero, Daredevil. That being said, I know nothing about Daredevil, I'm not a fan or anything, I just doodled a face in class, realized it could be Daredevil, and edited it slightly to look more like him.

It is somewhat phallic in appearance.

I realized that, I hoped it was just my own dirty mind. I swear it wasn't intentionally phallic.
 
I've since inked that and posted it to Twitter.

Something happened when I posted it.

And, holy shit, yes, that really is him.
 
I like it!  If you want some critical feedback, perhaps try scaling the characters a bit more.  Isn't the Thing supposed to be a bit larger than Dr. Doom?  To show that, try placing the Thing's eye level a bit above Doom's rather than a bit below.  A bit nitpicky, I know.

Uhhh, he's on a stool, actually.

I think I made the head a little too big.

[EDIT]

Fixed the head.
