When I say the name Liefeld, what comes to mind? Artistic excellence? Poorly drawn feet? The god-awful drawing of Captain America he did a while back? It's probably something like along the lines of this:

Cable…by Liefeld

This image is actually the first part of a two-part series I've got planned out. Notice Liefeld's attention to detail when it comes to over-sized and over-accentuated muscle structure. Sick? I think so. Also, in case you're losing your sight and didn't happen to notice it, check out the massive laser-looking thing Cable's holding. It doubles as an aircraft carrier on weekends.

Next time, we take a look at Liefeld's Deadpool which would have probably been a little bit of an artistic overload if I had actually fit him into this image. Try not to lose too much sleep while waiting in anticipation for our next installment of When Good Art Goes Horribly Wrong.

Living up to my word, we won't be taking a look at another piece of classic artwork by Rob Liefeld. This time, I present to you a drawing done by none other than Marvel's own EIC Joe Quesada. Is it...

Awful Artwork - …So Would Deadpool
It's time once again to take a peek at another forgotten treasure of the comic book art world. Granted, most of these images were forgotten for being just plain terrible but we're digging them up anyway. Last time, we took...

    Wow, that is BAD. Captain America looks like he’s had some breast implants put in… he’s not a porn star, y’know.

    And I am loving this category. You need to find more horrible drawings of characters!

    I’ve got plenty more coming. The hard part is posting something that wasn’t drawn by Liefeld.

    He’s so bad.
