Why this piece is awesome: In a universe of creepy things, Michael (or Fuckhands McMike as he's semi-affectionately known in the fandom) is one of the creepier. The artist's choice to make everything about him grey-toned except the blond hair, combined with the semi-realistic style, brings out the creepy in a good way, imo.

Very cool. Sometimes it's difficult to imagine a character, and this is a great job.

As befits the Distortion, I've seen some very good stylised, almost psychedelic Michaels, but yes, the uncanny valley realism adds to the scare factor I think.
