Tipping the Comic Peak to Turner

I know, I know, fan art just isn’t always cool, but I can’t help myself. This is an unfinished ode to Michael Turner that I did whilst watching tv. For a moment, I can pretend that I’m as good an artist as Turner.

Another one for the comic fanatics. This little painting was just a fun merger between my natural style and good old comic beauties.

A Comic Head Turner

I have been greatly inspired by the late great comic artist, Michael Turner. Since a friend introduced me to his comic art 7 years ago, I have been obsessive about collecting examples of his work; following his career from Top Cow to Aspen and beyond. If you do not already know his work and this genre of art appeals to you, it is imperative that you discover for yourself the formidable workings of Michael Turner.

Here are examples of some of my (very very old) comic scribblings, inspired by and in some cases copies of the works of Michael Turner.

Past Comic Doodles

Many moons ago when I was a young’un, I took great pleasure in doodiling comic book style characters. I found it easy to do and somewhat therapeutic and was in constant amazement at the abilities of the comic artists of today and yesteryear. To not only create emotive and imaginative images and enveloping atmosphere, but to also effectively fulfill often complex narratives without compromising technique or character development, is a skill all of its own.

Here are a few of my sketchbook doodles. Please forgive their crudeness as they are about 7 years old now.
