Bonus points if you post how you'd fix them.

Also, how would you fix this one, /co/?

That helmet looks like it weighs 10 kilos, how the fuck is someone going to attack anyone wearing that? I know Stryfe had strong telekinesis and whatnot but it just looks painful to lug around unless he's somehow slightly floating it off himself and carrying it telekinetically.

>>90069217
Okay, I finally figured out how to fix this. The costume needs to look more believable, because right now it's totally unrealistic.

He has no pockets. Where would he put his stuff? Immersion ruined. This motherfucker needs pouches, BAM, now it's REAL. I think 12-18 pouches would be ideal. He could keep all kinds of stuff in it. weapons. Swords. Guns.

Also, who the hell stands like that, just out in open with your feet showing? Make him stand behind something like a normal person, that would look more natural.

I have a weird hate/love thing with Liefeld. I hate him because... fucking damn, dude, you've been in comics for so many years learn to fucking draw better you faggot, plus he is a dick sometimes. But I love him because I see him as something that every dumbass out there who wants to get mad green through luck, unrelenting self confidence to the point of being full of yourself and a couple of cool ideas should aspire towards. Rob Liefeld is the person we all could be if it were still the 90s and if we had motivation. And of course, believed in ourselves, even when no one else probably did.
>>
>>90073147
It's still up, you better deliver anon. I'm hype.
>>
>>90080960
You're a pretty great artist anon, I like it, but I still prefer the original. Yours kinda borderlines on being a fursona whereas the original isn't dragon-ish enough to vividly imagine colossal cock /y/ bara fetish porn about. It's a thin line, my man, a thin line.
>>
Liefield's X-Force was cool. His art in that was pretty cool. If you dislike Liefield you should find McFarlane art equally bad yet nobody hates on McFarlane.

Liefield's art was genuinely shitty during Heroes Reborn but his New Mutants and X-Force stuff was awesome. He was pretty good at drawing hot girls in it.
>>
>>90093545
He does have some cool ideas and has some talent (I mean, fuck, you couldn't just give any normie a pen and get him to draw as good as Liefeld, could you?) and there are some different things he can draw well but he just makes fucking anatomical mistakes a lot. With McFarlane you can see that the guy does stuff out of stylistic choice and he makes that style work for himself really well, it's a lot more cartoonish than a lot of people but he just makes it look actually good and Liefeld could be the same if he didn't fuck up so much and make eyes uneven and legs way too fucking long and draw stuff that's just completely anatomically impossible.

>>90069217
Go a little Euro scifi with him. The silver is skintight, seamless, and molded to his body. The mantle is exaggerated with the spikes moved to the rim of the shoulders. The helmet is simplified with the fans shrunk and aligned radially to evoke the image of a crown.

That actually looks pretty great, in a so-over-the-top-it-becomes-cool way. Only real problem I have with it is that his chinspikes keep him from turning his head at all.

And now, Black Crow. A native American hero who, despite being a magic user with a million abilities, including shape shifting, chooses to look like every single offensive stereotype of natives. Because as you know, unlike white people, Natives have no other likes or interests aside from being native, and base their whole day around how they can be more native than anyone else.

Like if they moved that chest thing up, and made it look more like a plague doctor mask, and changed the feather based cloak to make it look more like grim reaper cloak and hood, it would be a pretty cool look. They could even keep the yellow and black colour to make him stand out. But as it is, its pretty ridiculous.

She's basically just purple Feral with tribal tats and cool yet inconsistent armour.

Speaking of Feral, she deserves to be in this thread too.
