Michael Turner Tribute

[Aztec5713]

Wow! what a way to find out that Mr.Tuner passed away. the Fist comicbook I saw and bought that he did was the DC comic Supermam and Bastman . when I was in the comicbook shop and saw the supergirl poster that he did I know i had to have it. If I had to do a favorite comicbook artist list he would be in the top 3 along with Todd Mcfareland and Greg Land.I know what his family had gone though because my mother passed away from the same thing , cancer . Mr.Tuner and his talents will be missed .

[Tiger408G]

Bright light. She cares about the movie alot which is good. Mike first found out about the cancer in Hawaii, he was optomistic and working till almost the very end.... inspirational. In my opinion Michael was one of the best to ever pencil, and his numbers reflected it.

[UnknownImages]

He changed the industry, I loved comics before I knew his work but he blew me away. His women are so beautiful and his attention to detail and ability to capture characters in motion so perfectly is unmatched. I'm a '90s kid so Image/Top Cow were what I grew up with at the comic book store, and my generation couldn't have asked for a greater artist in comics at the time. Such a fresh style he had. A true inspiration to aspiring artists everywhere including myself, RIP Turner.

[xTheNIL8Rx]

wait..this isn't he beastly Falcon's runningback...

[louloui]

BY FAR my favorite artist , he was the man that made me discover 90's comics.

So sad :(((

At least , i hope he's in peace..

[yufagirl]

n'oubliez jamais Michaël turner... C'était un grand ;(

[BigMPChris]

Dude I cant tell ya'll how much I wish I coulda just met him one time. Like seriously. It makes me really sad.

He died while I was in Iraq. Unfortunately, and it pisses me off so much.

[rushringsfanatic]

Holy CRAP what a week...First I find out Keith Parkinson died, now I find out my favourite artist in comics died! I'm kinda speachless, I just found out now. I salute you Michael, you were a Titan in our field!! The comics world has suffered in your premature passing. God speed Brother!

[WayneTully1]

Great video and fitting tribute of his work.

I always liked his Witchblade work!

[coorsman7]

I'm 15 and I've been a fan of comic books since I can remember, but when I first saw Turner's work he inspired me to start drawing and try to become a comic book penciler. Rest In Peace, Micheal.

[PhoenixPsilence]

It was a horrid day when he passed and i remember crying and my mom cried with me over the loss of the one artist i loved most. And then my mom passed away in Nov 08 and I know my mom has talked to Michael and told him what an impact he had on us all. Rest In Peace Michael and Momma

[shogenkilja]

Anybody know the name of this song? It's awesome and fits perfect with his work!

[LabyrinthsMistress]

It's Dante's Prayer by Loreena McKennitt

[shogenkilja]

Thank you! This is my favourite video of Michael Turner! Please keep it on! Still inspires me every time I watch it. It was Michael turner who first started to inspire me again to do comic books!

[LabyrinthsMistress]

You are very welcome! And thank you for liking my video. He has been my favorite artist since I was eleven. He will never be replaced.

[RRCLince]

Great and Extraordinary Artist, the draw that really captures me was NAMOR The Sub-Mariner you know in his REVOLUTION Story arc the Issue #1 was AWESOME, I want to say that when he draws gave life to the whole comic universe characters. I want to thank u Turner 4 the great moments you gave us when we open those great COMICS.

[RRCLince]

He was an extraordinary artist he really molt the whole COMIC Universe, I would say that when he draws gave life to his character, God Bless You Turner!!!

[HateAlexDam]

Perfect artist, just a pity that after death, deserved the medals ...

[HateAlexDam]

Perfect artist, just a pity that after death, which should madaily ...

[HateAlexDam]

!!!Amazing!!!

[WarshipAngelus]

He's also my favorite artist too.. Just prior two months before he die, I've bought two posters of his arkwork of his new stuff at Aspen comics.. Still have both posters still hanging in my master bed room..

[MrDirector786]

Michael Turner is my favorite artist. I want to be able to draw like him.

[7of9unimatrix1]

Awesome.....

[PRSer]

MIchael Turner draws women like no one else... I truly admire ALL his works. The guy is inspirational.

[irsnyder1]

I can't believe people open this video only to leave a comment like "I thought this was Michael Turner the football player. Stupid video." No, not stupid video.  Stupid football fan. Learn to read. Excellent video, and great choice of music. Thank you.

[loganxglaze7]

Great video. One of my all time favorite comic artist. This Michael Turner was on top of his game more than Michael Turner the football player. He will be missed.

[cvwilson08]

great video!!!!!!!

[cvwilson08]

he made those characters look cool. Tomb raider isn't the same without him!

[jaykopping777]

what a legend, his work will continue to inspire, and he will live through every great pic he created, rip dude, you fucken rocked!

[7Devon11213]

thought it was about micheal turner the football player u all r NERDS

[LabyrinthsMistress]

Okay, really? Do none of you people read the description?

[Rcinch1]

Awesome Homage you paid to one of the greatest comic book artists of all time!

Mr. Turner would be proud!

[AbeTheGreat1]

@7Devon11213 the guy died of cancer! im sure Michael Turner "The Artist" had much more impact on the world with his art, which is universal then Michael Turner "The running back." have some respect bro.

[PhoenixPsilence]

he will be missed. I just lost my mom in November and i feel for his friends and family. I loved his artwork and so did my mom. he was the greatest comic artist i have ever seen.RIP Momma

[LabyrinthsMistress]

He will be missed. It's a shame he had to go so soon. And I am very sorry for your loss. It's never easy losing family or someone else close to you.

[Salvapride16]

lol i thought this was michael turner the football player.

[zosocuatro]

what a stupid vid

[Markell817]

Very nice video...I was a big fan, tribute well done...he will be missed

[Grimmy15]

Its really sad that hes gone, I liked Micheal Turners art, actually I still do, there was something "shiny" about it if that makes any sense.

Farewell Micheal, and Godspeed.

[silcoonsweetie]

oh i get it you edited it sorry forget that last comment!

[LabyrinthsMistress]

It's not a problem. I completely forgot that I edited the description of it. It had been a long day yesterday.

[silcoonsweetie]

its alright

[yamamato44]

I'LL remember you, Michael Turner!

Hate to jump on the bandwagon, but he really was an inspiring artist and person.

[silcoonsweetie]

wait am i the only one who noticed that you uploaded it october 31st 2006 he didnt die until 2008 how is that possible?

[LabyrinthsMistress]

Yes, I uploaded this two years ago because I have been a fan of his since he started on Witchblade. There were no videos for him up yet, so I decided to make one in honor of this amazing artist (who was still alive at the time).

[silcoonsweetie]

he is a great artist and people who dont appreciate his work dont know what there missing

[Mjbabycakes7072]

Why did this guy have to die so young? There are MILLIONS of scumbags inhabiting this earth that don't deserve to breathe...and one of the good ones with immeasurable talent....and a good heart has to leave so soon.

[lsoprimus]

Michael turner ....my eyes will never get enough.

[comiclove5]

One of the greatest artist of our Generation he will never be forgotten

[MirkodiWallenberg]

He will live forever in his beautiful drawings! Untill we meet again someday somewhere! RIP

[vocim]

Rest In Peace Michael Turner.

I loved his arts. He was a great artist and a really great and brave man.

I remember when i was a teen how i was impressed in discovering Witchblade and its arts. It was beautyfull. There's so many things i would want to say to give justice to his talent, but my english don't seem to be good enough.

Just hope he's happy wherever he is now. RIP.

[luizinhouuu]

The Best....

[Baevergnu]

Really hard when people that has inspired you dies. Even harder when they've had a great impact on your life. he really inspired me to pick up the pen, and now I'm heading for a job as a artist myself. Michael Turner will be missed.

[DeVstatrOmga]

I wasn't a fan of his artwork but respected his passion for the art. My first time seeing his artwork was when many years ago I stopped at a gas station on my way to San Antonio and saw a comic book Witchblade #1 first print and picked it up. It was the first time ever I was impressed by his work and the comic itself. I still to this day have the comic book encased and kept from being damaged. May he rest in peace.

[Khultan]

I was at Borders at Union Square in SF reading the new Wizard magazine and the last page features a photo of Michael and information that he passed away....I'm stunned with disbelief. Cancer will get you no matter if you're rich, poor, young or old. I wish you could have lived far longer, Michael.

[shabbadooba]

He was the reason I began to appreciate not just comic books, but art as well, he was an incredible artist and an incredibly caring human being.

[ragingbull87]

R.I.P.

[TimStruppiNoctes]

OMFG... just wanted to watch some vids of Michael and had to read here that he is dead T-T

He is definately the greatest, I admire him now for over 10 years.

[phoenixfirelove]

God, I started crying when I saw this again Dani. I still can't believe such a great man is gone to something so horrible. We Miss Ya Michael. Heaven needed an artist.

[MegaPatron]

R.I.P Michael Turner. T_T

[olnightstar69]

R.I.P. Michael Turner

We will miss you, and your beautiful work.

[yeotao]

almost ten years ago...i remembered first seeing his art in ballistic and i thought: who is this gem of a penciller...and now he's gone...its so sad to witness the discovery , growth ,success and passing of a great artist..he truly deserve his place among the tops..

[freddyjaye]

Micheal Turner was an amazing artist! When I went to Comic Con in L.A. he was so cool. He was ten times better than most of the artists out today. You will be missed dude!

[JediXManSerenaKenobi]

I can't believe he's dead... he was my favorite comic artist of all time, my inspiration for drawing comics. I had hoped to meet him one day. We'll all miss you, Mr. Turner.

[saul522]

This sucks he was an amazing artist and my inspiration to start drawing, I am so sad to hear that he has passed but at least he left behind great artwork that will continue to influence aspiring artists everywhere for years to come. RIP

[MaceIII]

R.I.P. Michael, another great artist has left our world...We'll miss you.

[marcus1537]

Rest in peace michael turner may heaven inbrace you as it has imbraced many others with equally amazing skills. You are and forever will be my favorite artist you have inspired me to do great things and i know you had an effect on many others though artwork and exspresion.

thankyou

great tribute labyrinthsmistress

[leatafilms]

This is a great tribute, I only wish it never had to exist.Thanks so much for putting it up it is amazing to how far and wide Mike great spirit and infuence reached. He was a wonderful human being and just a hell of a guy.

[StoleThisNameFromYou]

Rest In Peace Michael Turner. Your art has inspired many, including myself. You will forever be cherished, admired and missed.

Thanks for the tribute LabyrinthsMistress.

[xluckyirish]

This was a good video. He was really fun to talk to and to those of you who have met him in person can agree with that his presence inspires you and fills you with such energy that the only thing you can do is smile. I can only hope that he is put into the comic history museum in California.

[tms91]

He was my favourite artist, sorry he IS my favourite.Rest in peace Mr. Turner

[echozgus]

Michael Turner Created the most beautiful Heroines, he was a great artist.

[brantastik]

R.I.P. Michael Turner. Your spirit and work will live on, through your amazing artwork and achievements. You will forever be remembered in our hearts and minds as one of the greatest comic book artists of all time. Thank you for the great video LabyrinthsMistress, I'm sure Michael is looking down from above with a smile. That quote will provide me the strength and focus to strive to be more.

[MissEmeret]

I loved thim man. He was the one to teach me how to draw. I'd never would have become an artist if it wasn't for him. You'll be missed Mike

[shallowmaster]

Michael was my strength. I tried repeatedly to break into comics and failed. Literally a couple of days ago i wanted to just call it quits.

Then i found out Michael died. And i felt guilty for turning my back on what i love. All because i thought that it was too hard. My perspective is different now.

Thank you Michael Turner.

[firepearl773]

Its so stupid how depressed I am that he is gone. The rational part of me says at least he's not in pain any more. But the not so rational part, the passionate and emotional part that sought such inspiration and joy from his work & his life is angry, and sad!

This is a beautiful tribute and the last quote sent me over the edge into tears again. I can't grasp no longer itching and lusting for a micheal turner variant. All the things he cld have done and we'll never see. This is the worst part.

[LabyrinthsMistress]

I completely agree with you. Every time I see a piece of artwork of his (which is a lot since I work in a book store) I get depressed all over again. I almost don't want to go back into the comic shop I frequent because I'll probably get depressed again.

[LabyrinthsMistress]

I forgot to mention that that last quote has special meaning to me as well. I was diagnosed with a neurological disorder three years ago and that quote helped me to stay strong and to realize that I just need to accept what happens to me and not worry about things that are out of my control

[firepearl773]

Wow, so many people he touches and inspires, even in death.

You inspire me to, and I hope you stay strong. Live to the fullest! And thank you for this video! Again, it is the most touching of many I have seen.

[YrUlUKkiNAtM34]

hey i just saw on the oomic art community gallery that he was dead, anyone knows what actually happened?i mean he was a fairly young guy.......

[LabyrinthsMistress]

He had cancer. He was diagnosed eight years ago and had surgery for it in 2000. It hit him hard earlier this year and just got worse as the months went on.

[YrUlUKkiNAtM34]

dam, what a loss on the comic community,he was a fantastic artist he was and he will be missed,and that was a fantasic tribute you gave him, loved the choice in music and art as well.

[samycat24]

Godspeed Mike and rest well...as an artist and inspiration you will be missed..I will always treasure the memory of my meeitng you and watching you draw. You were truly one of a kind

[Daz49]

Rest in Peace Michael. You were truly one of the greats.

Nice video tribute.

[twiztidlestat]

Micheal Turner, Missed already. RIP my friend.

[4dfilms]

well miss u michael

[Tigerkaya]

He shall be missed but let us not grieve over his passing, rather remember the amazing artwork he produced over the years for he shall be remembered in our hearts as one of the greatest artist that lived R.I.P Mr.Turner R.I.P :,(

[IG2HI]

God called Michael Turner home too soon. The man is gone but his work will live on.

[PIXARALIEN]

The greatest of great men shall be...

The one that proves of night and day,

To hold our failure true learning all the while,

To delight in the waking and welcome sleep,

And rejoice in winter as well as spring.

RIP Michael Turner...You were the greatest artist I have ever known. Thank you for what you have done for the world of comics.

[Johnnynemesisx]

[Saibecc1]

Just read Michael Turner passed away. Thats very sad. Im glad I got to see and appreciate his artwork. Another great talent taken way too young. Thank you Michael for sharing your amazing gift with us.

[jaryd1212]

Aloha Mike, we're gonna miss you. But it's good to know you are in a better place now.

[monkeyjeebusx420]

37 is too young. its really shocking that such a huge name in the industry is now gone. i only found out about it cause of jim lee. i wasnt a huge fan but i know his impact on todays comics.

[stultiloquy]

It's still hard to accept that he's gone...he was a tremendous influence on me, both in my art and my life.

Thanks Michael.

[jedijason77]

He shared his art with so many people and showed so much class and respect to the comic world,really sad news he will be really missed,after years of fighting this i hope he is at peace right now,still drawing with a smile on his face doing what he loves. REST IN PEACE MICHAEL TURNER.

[jedijason77]

Im at a loss for words,i havent followed comics in a couple years but this hits me with shock,i read awhile back what he was going through with his cancer and i felt so bad for him ,he was so young and had a dream job that he got to share his talents with the world and do what he loved for a living.I remember thinking how unfair it was but he always had a smile on his face while he was a fighting his cancer,he still put out more work than alot of artists in the biz because he truly loved comics

[bloodmaggoth]

good men die young..

rip mr. turner..

[SuperboyConnerKent]

Rest in peace Mr. Turner. A day won't go by that we won't miss you. See you on the other side Mike.

[Dark87Angel]

RIP Mike, you are one of my fave artists ever, you didn't deserve this terrible end, but your fans will always love you...

I'll do it

[Micol991]

How is called the song?

[LabyrinthsMistress]

The song is called Dante's Prayer by Loreena McKennitt

[Micol991]

thanks

[LabyrinthsMistress]

You are very welcome

[Fearlessnoob]

Dude how could Michael die!!!He was soo young! One of the best comic artist out there too...Im so sad :(

[bearjock2]

I am very sad

[potatoesprecious]

Michael was a dear friend and fellow artist to my son Marc who also died of cancer in 2003. We are grief stricken today at this terrible news and know that Marc and Michael are together drawing again. Rest in peace together.

[potatoesprecious]

Michael was a dear friend of my son Marc, a fellow comic artist who also died of cancer in 2003. They were kinred souls and both fought this terrible disease with great courage and dignity. Rest in peace Michael. You and Marc are together again. We will see your art written in the clouds. We will miss you. G & E

[systembust]

Rest in Peace Michael Turner.... a truly rare talent who has touched many lives with his awesome craftsmanship....!

[mmt2853]

Rest In peace Michael, Even though you were in the comic industry for 13 years, you made me get back into collecting again.

peace

[mazeface]

I heard he died last night. Very sad. This is a great portfolio tribute of his art.

[FIREHOUSE731F]

I'm sorry everyone for the very sad news, Michael Turner passed away last night. He'd been dealing with a long battle with Cancer. Please visit his website and show your support.

[caligirl8582]

Rest in peace my man, he was one hell of an artist...and my hero.

[ptua8]

Rest in peace Mike!may your invincible soul be with us!you will never be forgoten!

[AspenRocks731A]

If i was to direct Fathom then id go straight to Jessica Alba also.Jessica Alba has already done Fantastic Four so she's had experience with comic stories and whats better is she can act and she is gorgous.Another person that they should consider is jessica biel and scarlet johanson.But Above all JESSICA ALBA! James Cameron was smart on that decision.

[FIREHOUSE731F]

know Fox studios has the rights to make the Fathom films .I think they aquired the rights in 2001 and in 2002 James Cameron asked Jessica Alba if she would be interesed in playing a character from the Fathom comic book series

[FIREHOUSE731F]

Aspen News Aspen News

Hey firehouse! Did you get my comment? Just in case here it is.

"Hey. For some reason my inbox does not work when i'm at home. So i can't see anything. I can't even send messages. So I thought i'd tell you this so you could pass the word.

During Wizard World Philly this weekend Executive Vice President of Aspen MLT Inc Frank Mastromauro said there are "a few movie things in the works," along with other ancillary projects."

[FIREHOUSE731F]

Witchblade film is coming out in 2009.Teaser poster is @ witchblade2009.

[LabyrinthsMistress]

I get the weekly newsletter from Top Cow and I was excited to see that this was finally becoming a movie.

[FIREHOUSE731F]

Anything else cool happening at top cow or even Aspen MLT that i should know about.

[LabyrinthsMistress]

Fathom and Soul Fire are coming back this year. Sometime soon, I believe. There's going to be a new miniseries called Broken Trinity about the Witchblade, Angelus, and Darkness. Top Cow's still doing their pilot season where they introduce new comics and the fans get to pick which ones get serialized. I'm excited to see Lady Pendragon is getting a second chance.

[FIREHOUSE731F]

I know that it is Aspen MLT's desire to do a film based on the Fathom film.I also know that they are strongly trying to get a Shrugged video game to work.

[FIREHOUSE731F]

Witchblade2009 site is opened now.

[petrafan77]

awesome!

[FIREHOUSE731F]

Witchblade2009 site has been released.The site has a teaser poster for the movie due to hit theaters in 2009.

[AspenRocks731A]

see Kiani Dedication video now on youtube

[FIREHOUSE731F]

Kiani dedication and aspen matthews videos are now available on utube.

[FIREHOUSE731F]

type in kiani dedicaton.then click on the poster.she's made some cool Aspen and Kiani videos.Michael Turner would be proud.

[FIREHOUSE731F]

I would like to see an Aspen film.

[FIREHOUSE731F]

great vid.michael is great.i especially love his aspen character.

[FIREHOUSE731F]

Aspen is a great heroine.Her ability to control water in all sorts of ways adds to her unique backstory.

[mmt2853]

i wonder if they will ever finish up the 1st soulfire series? Great video!!!!!

[deanh1978]

just lent a friend the supergirl book as an intro to turners work. he draws the best batman ever, this coming from a die hard jim lee fan.

[mothercensured]

Wow... I love his art, and so i loved the video but the ones i liked the most are the Identity crisis and Teen titans covers.

[mothercensured]

Wow... I love his art, and so i loved the video but the ones i liked the most are the Identity crisis and Teen titans covers.

[Neevester]

Michael Turner is amazing. I love everything he does!!!

[dfjkslsdfjkl]

he is one of the greatest comic book illustrators i would say and one of my personal favorites as well

[2003JL]

he's a true talent

[grindin011]

i love his cartoon pitures its like they realy come alive like the shadow sof the pictures its like there real people comeing out of the page just with super powers also they have real emoninets and hes the man who gave me hope that i can do anything.:)

[WhoButSE7EN]

lmao......omg mikecrooks....ROFL

[chiarodanse]

Great video. I started collecting in 96, Witchblade and literally studied all of MT's lines, bodies, and style of doing things. He doesnt know it, but he was my mentor in the world of art.

The Tribute was great, and this song by Loreena is absolutely amazing, but i dont think it fit.

Either way, cool to see his art again.

Thanks!

[phoenixfirelove]

when is turner going to draw deadpool? hotest deadpool ever.

[LabyrinthsMistress]

Maybe you should write and ask him? He's doing so much Marvel now, he just might, you never know!

[phoenixfirelove]

are you blind or just seriously retarded?

[LabyrinthsMistress]

ummm . . . it does say 'comic book artist' in the description. don't blame me if you didn't read it.

[Nevzat81M]

thanx a lot for hthis video, this is exactly what i need, 5 star

[negrura07]

That is a fantastic tribute! I loved it. I have a question.. I have never seen that sketch shown at 3:14 into the video. Where is it from.. and who is it? I can't tell! Is freaking gorgeous!

[LabyrinthsMistress]

That picture is of Sara Pezzini (forgive me if I spell it wrong!) but I don't remember when it was drawn. I know that they have it in the Wizard special edition about him. I believe it was drawn either for a fan or for his private collection, but I'm not sure. I would have to look it up to find out but right now I can't find my Wizard book!

[LabyrinthsMistress]

I was right. I just found my book and it was a tour sketch from 2000. Hope that helps!

[negrura07]

I didn't know about that Wizard book O.O I went to my local comic-book store and I saw they had a section of MT's work (isn't that cool?) and there it was! I totally picked it up along with the Top Cow's best of MT ^_^ I am all geeky squealing reading about MT *shakes head* ;)

[LabyrinthsMistress]

I do the same thing when I get something new from him. So I completely understand!

[Bastylax86]

simply the best comic artist ever existed!!

[Cromwell69]

words from my heart

[StyleSessions]

Turner is hot!

There are better artists tho,- Mad, Biz, AH, Lee, Silvestri etc.

[Nevestone]

im a turner fan..and I will say...well done...very well done.. posted it on my myspace/ichild.

:)

[siggipall]

mmm.. emotional, I love it..

[Kiekerz]

<3

I love Michael Turner's work. I've been a fan of his for maybe 8 or 9 years now. About the time he stopped penciling for Witchblade is when I started getting into comic books. Thanks for the video tribute.

[salambylamby]

turner is my idol

[wvguy935]

WOW! now thats what I call a tribute. And I thought I was a big Turner fan. Very beautifully done!

[miketurner77]

It's magnificent ! really good ! super video ! For a fan of Turner it's a real pleasure !Congratulations !

Sorry for my english

[phoenixfirelove]
