Description
In Memory of Michael Turnerwho passed away this week.
I felt like honoring him with a tribute..
After Stan Winston, George Carlin, and now Michael Turner, June 2008 is becoming one very dark month..
one of the biggest influences on me and my art in the late 90's, He made his name on Witchblade and Witchblade/Tomb Raider, going on to launch is own series Fathom in '98, eventually creating and fronting Aspen Comics in '04.
I was truly shocked about this, Turner was an original. He had a style that was so recognizable. I fell in love with his work in my formative years, and i hope that his influence can still be seen in my own style, because i learned so much from him. I know i can see it in others, and it will truly live forever thru them..
RIP Michael

A very beautiful peice for man who was far more talented that most will ever know. It was shocking to hear he had died, especially since Carlin had gone so recently. It's a shame.

Yeah, i'll also do the same by making a drawing in is honor. I saw witchblade, but i understand what you mean by style as well. His work will live on in his pupils so his influence will remain universal.

I was heart broken when I found out. I still remember sitting in a parked car when I was a kid, flipping through my brothers comic book magazine out of boredom, and being amazed at the beautiful sketches and cover pictures in an article featuring Fathom. I fell in love with his art.
Beautiful tribute. I hope he rests in peace, and he will be dearly missed
