He's clearly just balancing cinderblocks on his hands. I mean, where are they going to get guns that big, anyway?

El Sabueso is a spoof/homage to a certain popular comic artist in the 90s. Anything that looks wrong on him is done on purpose :)

I foresee that becoming a theme of sorts.

All jokes aside, still enjoying the work, even if it seemed a little different today.

What the heck is up with those guns? How am I supposed to take this page seriously when the bad guy is wielding metal boxes with holes in them?

Yup ^_^

El Sabueso's name is even a Liefeld type name (though Spanish'd up)

You still messed up my false indignation fun times.

MSperoni 04-12-2011 05:34 PM

*turns cap backwards* Booya!

Oh my god I didn't even notice the Liefeldness until I read this thread. I was going to throw my support forward purely because of Kit's expression in panel two, but now I notice the hilarious chunkymuscle and the fists-then-guns drawing style.

You even managed to almost hide his feet behind flat ground in the first panel. I salute you.

edit: oh god his beard changes every panel

It actually took more effort than I thought it would. A lot of the time I found myself doing too "accurate" of a job :D

Like I'd draw El Sabueso and I'd think "No, he doesn't look anatomically incorrect enough.." and I'd erase it and draw it more Liefeld-ish. I also had to remind myself to keep his standard level of inconsistency (which you noticed by how often Sabueso's beard changes :D).

I wasn't out to bash Liefeld, cos the comic really isn't about that, but I chose to try to emulate his style because it meshed well with the kind of satirical effect I was going for :) (that is to say I was trying to somewhat mock popular 90s comics and Liefeld is one of the cornerstones of that generation. Sorta like if I was making fun of comics in the 60s I would try to emulate Jack Kirby. Except in the case of the latter I would be doing a much better job on a technical level).

This on the other hand, this is Liefeld bashing: http://www.progressiveboink.com/archive/robliefeld.html

Kit's walking while shooting immediately jumped out at me, but I figured you were just being silly with it because of the ad.
