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

Wow, what a tradgedy. To make a long story short, when I was younger and I drew what I saw, I saw the main character of witchblade and lara croft together. I loved the drawings so much that I decided to draw it. (I didn't even know who he was). Crazy thing is that I drew years ago (when i was in middle school) and my brother found it somewhere in the garage year. Now it's misplaced again and i'm hoping I can find it and put it up in his honor for being such a great artist.

Sorry for your loss, hope that the rest of the year is better, there have been too many deaths of celebrities and just icons in general.
Sorry again, its a great piece too.

Dark ages are coming, its so sad to read this. the media doesnt tell this kind of news, sadly they dont care. Lets sacrifice the souls of the fashion era and bring back those who really are worth of a second life of man.
really beautiful tribute this one.

Wow.. Thanks for posting this.. Very pretty rendition.
I had not heard about his passing. I knew about his medical struggles but lost track of him several years ago after I stopped buying Wizard magazine.
RIP Michael Turner.

Dude, I had no idea he had passed away this week! Dammit, he was like my freaking idol when it came to drawing
Why do the good always die young?

His death was a shock for me too. I'll miss him so much; his death is such a big loss for the comic world. He was one of the reasons Iβve started drawing. Iβve passed so many hours studying his style and trying to learn from him. The first American comic I've ever bought was a collection book of Tomb Raider's stories drew by him.
RIP Michael Turner, we wonβt forget you.
ps
sorry for my english.
