Art Appreciation Moment of the Day: Evolution of a Cover – Marcio Takara

Incredibles3___picon.jpg

Today’s installment features work by Marcio Takara.  Instead of the normal single shot image, like we normally do, I found Marcio’s work on Boom! Studios The Incredibles #3, where Marcio delivers up the cover from pencils to final cover.  Looking at the process is sometimes just as important and inspiring as looking at the finished image.

Art Appreciation Moment of the Day: Marcio Takara’s Batman

What I really like about Marcio’s designs is they are simple.  Clean lines, not a lot of detail, but just enough for each of his characters to be distinct from one another.  You’ll have to check out his Deviant Art page to see his renditions of other superheroes – because he’s got a lot of them.  And yes, this is the same artist who did the Pheonix image a while ago.

Art Appreciation Moment of the Day: Phoenix

I’ve been meaning to post some of Marcio Takara’s works here, but got behind (as usual).  If you want some awesome images of Marvel and DC characters, Marcio has you covered.  Check out his take on Phoenix.

it was meant to be something else… but I decided to use it to draw a Marvel character again. I was between Ms Marvel, Scarlett Witch and Phoenix
