    Art Appreciation Moment of the Day: Dominic Marco

    Stephen SchleicherBy Stephen SchleicherSeptember 23, 200912 Comments1 Min Read

    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.

      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.
