[ormery]

I think I feel a pencil and paper phase coming on so less digital scribbling for the time being I guess? I drew a lot of pictures of the Scarlet Witch at work today but none of them were very good. Haha. Probably because I spent all afternoon listing stuff like this so I forgot what shape a human body is supposed to be

that kills my brain a lot.

before you started talking about this turner guy i never noticed him and now i'm terrified because i'm seeing him everywhere and ow ow ow

[ormery]

he is like variants dude

variants of everything
horrible horrible anatomyfail variants of everything

I may not be a fantastic artist but at least no one pays huge amounts of money for my complete shite
and at least I don't publish booklets full of sketches of wonkily drawn SEXY WIMMENS titled LADIES FIRST ... AND SECOND!

Of course Michael Turner is also dead but that doesn't stop people from using like sketches that he never published as LIMITED EDITION WITCHBLADE VARIANT COVERS as though he was some kind of VISIONARY ARTIST or something.

Sometimes people get all BUT HE IS DEAD IT IS TRAGIC and I'm like yes it is a great tragedy that he died before he could ever learn to draw ladies properly

[attilatehbun]

oh, he is that guy

I was wondering, and now I guess I know. OH MAN was it nicer not noticing the art fail

[ormery]

I am so sorry

but misery loves company.

Maybe... uh.. maybe that's what is normal for her species?

I think where the cover cuts off she doesn't have legs, just a tail. She's clearly some sort of snake/naga/mermaid or something.

Or she's got some sort of birth defect where her bottom half is disproportionate... all shriveled and weak and useless. That's why she drags herself around with her hands like that.

Yeah that sounds good. I'm combining them into her being a serpent lady with a birth defect. Yeah. That's what I'm going to tell myself. :\

she is crawling out of the water to get you

The only way to save yourself is to make photocopies/scan it in and show it to other people. D:

Oh god her wrath. Somehow in the midst of typing the above sentence I dropped my keyboard off its shelf thing and a bunch of weird things opened. ;_;

OMG MICHAEL TURNER PLEASE STOP.

....

.....

.......

I always feel terrible for hating on him so much even after he died, but fuck, how the hell did he get so much work? ._.

Comics would be much better off without him, Silvestri and Land drawing.

[ormery]

seriously - I have no idea! What the HELL about his art made people decide to employ him to draw SO MUCH STUFF? I mean it's not like the comics industry in general has any kind of DEFICIT of people who draw unrealistically-proportioned ladies with pouty lips, what the hell made Michael Turner so worth employing for doing it REALLY BADLY? I am so confused.

oh god silvestri and land

...Who is Michael Turner?

[hammster]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Turner_(comics)

he is a lot more horrible than that bio would lead you to believe, though the fact that he did witchblade should give you some idea

just... basically all he drew was shit like this:
