I’m a professional illustrator, so regarding the first I just face palmed after I read “*This is for the drawing only and please remember that the intellectual copywright remains with the artist at all times.”
Ugh! “see’s”
Damn you, apostrophe s! Especially when you’re used incorrectly!
Isn’t there a grammar check on computers nowadays? Was this typed on a commodore 64?
Hey, with the ACEO etsian — Artbybelle — has anyone checked out this gem: http://www.etsy.com/listing/45986280
It’s kind of weird, because it looks oddly human. I cannot stop giggling at it.
And seriously, does no one understand copyright law? If I buy the original — I own it, not you. You may have your copy, but my family may eventually sue yours, and we may all end up on a fabulous segment on Antique’s Roadshow someday.
Honestly the first one is not so bad. It ain’t worth 130.00 but it ain’t bad. The last one looks more like the “Why is Keanu so sad?” thats been making the rounds.
But that one in the middle looks too much like Crispin Glover. And the eyes follow you. Creepy much???
The first one isn’t so bad if it’s a drawing of Robert Patterson. – HK
“He see’s her enter the classroom…”
I was goofing off in English, ignoring the teacher who was spewing some nonsense about apostrophes. There was this really hot chick sitting in front of me, so I started drawing her on last night’s homework.
“..in front of the fan of course…”
Because the school system’s broke and can’t afford a/c anymore.
“…so he can’t help but get the strongest scent of her.”
DAMN she smells good.
ok.
i’ve seen the first one before…only james dean was striking that pose
i’ve seen the second one before…it’s robert smith with blond hair
and the 3rd? yeah. i’ve never seen that guy before in my life…maybe it’s a police sketch
“And immediately he is tortured with thoughts of easing his suffering by killing her…”
Because the teacher just called on me and I have no idea what the hell she’s talking about.
“…but does not want to disappoint his ‘father’.”
I go up to the board anyway and write down some random apostrophes and punctuation, because my dad will be pissed if I don’t get good grades.
“Now he faces the decision of his existence!”
Is an F+ considered a good grade? I must ask the picture I drew of the hot chick.
“And she is so ordinary, or is she?”
It turned out my subconscious had doodled a picture of that smokin’ vampire dude! I decided to sell it on Etsy to convince my dad I was just being entrepreneurial.
@ #15 enamy — a real photographic image of Robert Pattinson might lack the charm of a lazy eye, or somehow looking like someone other than Robert Pattinson, unless, of course he was wearing a mask…

I think the one in the center has two lazy eyes. How did Bella know he was looking at her? And he kinda just fades into a blob. Seriously, he looks like he’s been beaten and kidnapped for the portrait and is coming off of whatever drug they used to get him there, and has no idea what’s going on.
So the top one looks the most accurate, except for the whole lazy eye thing… and the middle one reminds me of Guillermo Diaz’s character Dave in 200 Cigarettes… the last one I just can’t put my finger on who it reminds me of…
Listen, my parents are almost completely useless but they managed to get me the surgery to fix my fucking lazy eye. No one loved that vampire enough. Sparkle only distracts so much, bb.
Wait, these aren’t inspired by Lorne from Angel? Teenagers these days and their crappy vampire movies. Back in my day our vampires wore black leather jackets and didn’t go around glittering in daylight. Hmph.
#8 envy – purchase/posession of the original does NOT automatically include a license to reproduce and distribute/sell the reproductions. Those are separate things.
Aside from the poorly-done hair and the lazy eye, I genuinely really like the middle one. It looks more like young Elvis than that Twilight guy, but that’s not a bad thing in my book.
I think that the second picture is trying to do the Edward hair from the books. I think the book had Edward’s hair as reddish.
The artist must have painted the movie Edward, get informed by the friend that “hey, Eddie’s supposed to have read hair”, then painted over the black hair with whatever paint they had that was closest to red.
OK, I completely missed the lazy eye at first in the first piece. I think it’s a really good drawing. Not at all good enough to be sold as ‘fine art’ though.
But now that I see the wonky eye it’s really freaking me out! One eye is staring into my soul while the other is looking at the wall behind me, plotting his escape. (PS I like the books and movies…the movies are terrible, but entertaining – especially when you watch with Riff Trax! – http://www.rifftrax.com )
I like how the third one has a watermark. Because, you know, I was going to print out a few hundred and wallpaper my bedroom, but the damn watermark ruined my plans.
The first one is not that bad, for like a school project or something but definitely not worth the 130 price.
The second one..I like it. it’s bad, but it’s fun bad. it has nice bright colors and it makes me think of that time that guy from Twilight made a B movie about Andy Warhol and they couldn’t get the movie poster professionally made.
The last one is just awful and that guy that is not Edward Cullen has way too much product in his hair. It looks crunchy. Honestly I can’t get past…
Three illustrations of one who can’t act done by those who can’t draw based on a series of novels by a woman who can’t write….
is anyone else worried that the talent vacuum here will eventually form a black hole and destroy the universe?
that scares the hell out of me.

You mean you don’t want someone to buy the drawing and then copy it and sell it on mugs, t-shirts, and posters? Because the person who actually took the photo or shot the film from which this image was poached was probably thinking the same thing, just that their © was actually…

At least the second one captured his mindless, dead-eyed, pout, even if the features don’t look like his.
The third one is just unrecognizable. Wow.

I sorta understand bad art of Cullen/Pattinson–because no good artist should waste their time.
July 22, 2010 at 9:59 am
My teenage daughters tell me that Robert Pattinson is actually quite ugly. Maybe these horrid portraits are doing him a favor.

The lazy eye started with the artist.
