    Marion's art really is amazing. If you look at the art at 7:26, there appears to be the name "Maya" going across the character's robes, but the letters are drawn in such a way that they are part of the artwork, and appear subtly. This very much reminds me of the late Al Hirschfeld's art for The New Yorker magazine, where he would subtly insert his daughter Nina's name into his creations. Even the long and wavy line strokes of Marion's art here remind me of that.

    What amazes me is that there are so many different styles to her creations, and that Hirschfeldian style is just one of them. This is very well done. Congratulations!

    Benzaie has a nac for being the creepiest person in anything he's in. Anyways its great to see these artist, and their work. Their work really isn't appreciated by enough people these days.

    Yeah, all these works were quite nicely done. It's nice to see all these artist's works that wouldn't be quite as noticed otherwise. =)

    I especially liked that picture of Chopper from One Piece at 1:50. It was adorable, although that might be the fanboy in me talking. :kawaii:

    Another enjoyable edition of "Artist's Alley". It's always really interesting hearing where different artists get a lot of their inspiration and influences from. Considering this was a convention in Austria, it was especially cool to see work from artists around the world; a trend I hope to see in future "Artist's Alley" episodes. ;)

    Keep 'em coming!

    I laughed quite a bit when I saw Benzai there. But the weird thing is, I've seen a couple of Marion's works before. =D

    Keep up with the art :love:

    Looks like the Austrians love you, Doug. Perhaps Arnold Month back in January has something to do with it. :cool:
  • chewee123
    Seeing other people's art just goes to show you that there are many talented people out there.

    You should come to FanExpo next year in Toronto. That would be awesome.

    I think it's about time I commented on how much I love this little section really neat detail. c:
    holly cow! So Marion's the one who did the Kickassia art! I had stumbled upon her DA account before, but never really realized anything other than the super cool and original work she does. x)
    Great episode! :D
  • NCscritic

    theres 2 benzaie girlfriends?

    enjoyed this stroll down the alley of the artists. nice job, Mr. Glasses, sir.

    and, of course, nice jobs Ms. Artist ladies.

    Wow, this is considerably better than the last Artist's Gallery - not because you did anything worse last time, but because these artists were on the whole vastly better artists and much more original in style than the last group on the whole. Marion's style in particular I absolutely love - not quite anime, not quite Western cartoon, very curvy, but I don't think Kim Possible is a very good comparison. American cartoons in general tend to lack subtlety in design, which I think Marion's work has in spades. Her animation is also incredibly impressive for a solo artist, and I definitely look forward to seeing her name in lights someday :D

    Now that's some great promotion. Don't get to meet many artists from Austria. The artists here were a lot better then the last one.

    Ok that last bit was too silly...but a great interviews. Thanks for doing these for the artists.

    You're showing off some excellent talent, Doug. Will you consider doing the Alternative Press Expo in San Francisco this year? That con is pretty much ALL artist alley.

    Lovely video :)

    I saw your previous artist's alley as well and this was an improvement, mostly because it was not just
    interview->art-interview->art->etc.

    Not that I dislike the art mind you, but it's a nice change of pace and funny to boot. =)
  • kaimar2
    Thanks, I was looking forward to this one. Nice artwork and of course very good and funny interview at the end. (Maybe Doug needed to make up for not putting her name under the Kickassia videos ;) )

    Personally, I was disappointed by this "artist's alley" at Aninite. There are barely people there and most don't even make it known IF they sell comissions. They just promote their stuff, which is GOOD, that's what their there for, but I am really missing more people flat out stating "hey, you pay me, I draw whatever you want". I guess we'd just need more people there in general.

    That's one of the reasons why Maryon was SO awesome. She made really great sketches and didn't even ask for much money for them. So I got not only Beary and his worthless minions:

    But also got the chance to finally begin my Indigo and Hank Pym sketchbook:
