[up]All I've got from the 90s are The Darkness, Turok and Tank Girl.

Turok's the worst looking and I wouldn't even call that "ugly."

Nope. 2000's. 2007-2010 to be exact. Said club was retarded in the matters of media not from Japan in general really. And Japanese art that wasn't manga or anime from the last 30 or so years.

I've run into this sort of thing before then and since then.

90's makes me think Rob Liefeld which makes me think of...yeah...

Liefeld.

He is renowned for his art which is often considered horrible and while he has a fandom he has many, many haters.

[up]Eh, all the faces lok the same, but other than that I think it's all right. It looks like Mc Farlane's Spawn artwork and I don't think it should necesarily be "renowned" as you say, but it's good if not kinda generic...

He's known for weird chests.

As well as weird feet and...a lack of eyes.

I try not to think of how he draws women.

I don't really hate Liefeld or his work really (I haven't read it), but that art can be...wow.

Aondeug: As much as I really, really don't like Liefeld's work, I can't help but think how ridiculously funny the whole situation is. This is a guy who does really weak art, but was paid a fortune for it. I don't know bout you, but that's funny.

It really is funny. His art is just...fuck...And yet he made and likely still makes a ton off it...

Eh, the more I look at it the more I think it just looks like a poor man's Mark Silversti...

[up] Quite the opposite actually, Silversti was one of Liefeld's during the Dark Age and his Image comics thing.

Not sure how to put it... disciples... followers... bandwagon jumpers... basically When Liefeld started his 90s thing he was one of many to follow to develop to the art you see today.

I couldn't think of a good word for it so I left it ambiguous.

EDIT: Yes, Aondeug, something like that.

I will now start referring to artists like that as The Cult of Leifeld.

Changing it? No. Showing just how many books you could sell with pouches, tits and scowly faces? Yes.
