Cover Contest Nov 11-17: CONFLICTED

[foxley]

Congrats Nschorn! You should be happy you hate such a good artist.

Foxley, one correction to your analysis of the Liefeld cover. The "foreshortened" torso. Foreshortening is when an artist draws something coming forward in the panel. Dooms arm in this great Kirby poster is an example. (the left arm in on the Titans cover is foreshortened)

What we have in the Liefeld cover is just bad drawing. But if you look closely, you will see the anatomy is not really off. The problem is the bikini brief, or whatever he is wearing. is hiked up above the waist to Grandpa pants height. It is covering his lover stomach and not his groin area. It's more of a belt with a thong.

Thanks for the correction.

I knew I should have double-checked that the term I used was actually the one I was looking for.

Congrats Nschornhorst and thanks Rob Allen for the vote.

Congrats to Nschorn on the win! Thats a great cover, with some attitude. Most of Kelley Jones' cover work doesn't appeal to me a lot, with the exception of his cover for Bloodstorm in that wacky elseworlds tale of Batman becoming a vampire.

And thanks Tami and WBE for the votes!

Congrats Nschornhorst

Tough crowd. I still feel the Byrne, Shalla Bal.

LOL, sorry Surf! But thanks for the vote, and thank you too babyblob.

Oh wow! I'd been so distracted, I didn't think to check the contest sooner! Thank you all so much for the very kind votes. I have some ideas written down, so I'll be sure to post in a bit. BUT FIRST-- the Liefeld cover I was considering was one of G.I. Joe's Snake Eyes. It's just 'meh' to me, but it's not terrible, at least. Veeerrrrrrry Deadpool, however.

Congratulations Nschornhorst!

And thanks to CaptCleghorn for the vote!
