I enjoy looking at fairly well known comic book artists doing original work for others. Today, Dominic Marco tackles a concept character by another writer. Plus there’s a bonus image, that you can only see after the jump!
This was a commission from Teri-Minx of her character, Thunderbird. I really like the flow of this piece and there’s something rather fun about doing the ‘squishy-boob’ thing that separates the elasticity of cartoon characters from the ultra-toned comic-style characters and their gravity defying bust-lines.
And because I missed yesterday’s Art Appreciation Moment, here’s a bonus Marco image of Chloe Sullivan that he did as a commission.

Why is Thunderbird wearing the Falcon’s costume?
I believe that Thunderbird is one of those “young nubile girl in the costume of a grown man” situations that gave us X-23, the new Scorpion, et al.
Yow… How does “Falconette” not snap in the middle with a waist that tiny and so much, um, “ballast” strapped to her chest??? Cheesy & cakey, I say~!!!
Heeee, this is nearly the costume that the V-A’s marketing department wanted to serve to Starlight in the Boys! :-/
It is everything I dislike in the depiction of females in comics. No offense to Dominic Marco but I find no “art appreciation” here.
I was hoping the “bonus image” was a nipple.
Based on the “not-bonus” art, i EXPECTED nudity in the “bonus”…. THAT’s what sort of “preconceived notions” that ‘chick’ (haha, get it? baby birds are chicks, and… eeehh.. anyway.) evoked.
Hmmh.
I see no Redwing!
not one single thing about that bonus image says “Chloe Sullivan”. He didn’t capture anything about her character except the hair, and that isn’t right either.
Yeah, I see no Chloe in the commission, either. It’s just cheesy for the sake of being cheesy and why the heck would she have an ‘S’ tattoo’d down there?
I dunno. I wouldn’t want to offend Mr. Marco as an artist but, in this case, I’m just not diggin’ it.
Both the images are good in a “good girl” art sort of vein, like the old Phantom Lady comics by Matt Baker and the like.
I can see a little Allison Mack in the second image, especially in the eyes. As always, your mileage may vary.
“I can see a little Allison Mack in the second image, especially in the eyes.”
I can, too, I suppose, if your similarity comes down to “Do they both have eyes?” In that case, though, you look a little like Allison Mack.
