    How so? Her mouth is open wide...That's the only thing I see odd about her face.

    I'm not an expert but I think there is something wrong in her forhead, missing some a little bit. If you look at other Byrne drawing, Talisman had more forhead. Or it could be the distance between the eyes. Or simply the face is to big for the body or the left arm is to small(the one not holding Wanda), which make the head to big.

    I also think Wanda arm is too small, but I'm really not sure. I'm not really good myself with proportion, so who am I to say?

    Is that Beta Ray Bill as the Talisman?

    Sorry, but it looks like Byrne wasn't even trying there.
    She's a bit cross-eyed, and it just looks like he got lazy. :/

    Other than that, great picture, but I get the feel for his not being into Alpha any more from it.

    That's exactly it. Her headband reaches right to her eyes.

    Wanda looked okay to me, but I have to agree with the opinions regarding Elizabeth. The head doesn't look right.

    Fiorello: Well, I don't know about that...
    Driftwood: Now what's the matter?
    Fiorello: I no like-a the second party, either.
    Driftwood: Well, you should've come to the first party. We didn't get home 'til around four in the morning... I was blind for three days!

    I once saw an inflatable doll in an adult bookstore with a similar expression! And the headband does drop a bit low. Almost looks like an early Wild Child brow!

    I gotta agree with Mik. This wasn't John's best work.

    I've never really been known for tact! So as the thought arises it normally sees light of day.

    When I first saw the mouth shape on Talisman, it remeinded me of an image I saw years back. Three ladies of the night standing around waiting for cutom. One had a mouth shaped exactly as we see in this image, one of the other ladies turns to her and says "You really must stop specialising".

    Hmmm... I love the idea that Byrne had for Wolverine's origin which he discusses in those forums.

    Does anybody know why he doesn't enjoy Alpha Flight?

    P.S. The art is meh, the amulet cuts perfectly across her browline for some reason. The result looks really weird as has been stated...
