Problem's with the Site...

Ok, ok, I know what your saying to yourself right now, "Where has the Joe Madureira! fansite gone?" The thing is, my host is going to get rid of his server... so the Joe Madureira site doesn't have a home. I had to make this page on a Blogger account to tell you guys what's going on. Again, your probably saying, "Well just get a new host and everything will be dandy." The problem is, my last host was 100% free, and right now I don't have enough money to actually pay for hosting since I'm a University Student who has lots of stuff to pay for. Right now my friend and I are looking around and asking around for anyone that can help us out with hosting... it's probably going to be impossible to find anyone generous enough like my last host to give me the space and bandwidth.

Pretty bad news eh ? Sort of dissapointing how this happens when Joe is doing all the new things like Darkstalkers, a new NCsoft project, a 2nd Street Fighter Back up, and possibly continuing Battle Chasers someday. Hopefully the site will be back sooner than later...here's hoping!

Finally, I'd like to thank all the people that visited my site. It's been a good year (well almost a year, the site opened Sept. 7th, 2003) and the community was just starting to buzz. I got a bunch of contributions from fans in the form of art, checklist additions, and even issue pictures for the gallery. Again I'd like to thank all those people and hopefully the site will come back someday soon!

Hey Valen, thanks for the support. I think it takes around 150 to 200 MB to host all the artwork. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks Valen. Hmm even if you can find a 100 MB one it should be ok.

Art Advice 2.0 from Joe Madureira

Joe Madureira has continued voicing his art advice with details on what gear he uses, his influences, and skills needed for working in the game or comic industry. Art Advice 2.0 Now for the specific art questions I do get very often: 1-I use a technical pencil with HB lead 99% of the time. Staedler, Koo-in-oor, Prismacolor Turquoise, it’s all good. Take your pick. I use them all. Sometimes I work on paper that’s a little different ( smoother or more coarse ) and I may move up or down to an H or a B lead if needed. But I find H and 2H digs into the pap er and is too hard to erase ( Which sadly I do a lot of ) and B is too soft ( smudges like a mofo.) B is fantastic for going back over lines, darkening , and adding weight to your lines. Basically, ‘inking’ with a pencil. **Just keep a sheet of scrap paper under your hand or you will smudge the shit out of your drawing!!!** HB suits my needs 99% of the time. Really no need to switch it out, just adjust your pressure. Harder or...

Wayfinder Character Artwork by Joe Madureira

I've collected as much artwork as I could find from Airship Syndicate's new game Wayfinders that I believe is Joe Madureira's work. Enjoy the collection! First he's some early concept art for Project Skylight (Which is now Wayfinder). Next here's some marketing artwork for the game featuring the main heros (aka Wayfinders). Here's some high resolution images of the individual Wayfinders: Wingrave The Seeker Wingrave is a templar clad in spell-forged armor and sustained by his faith in the Architects. He's a natural leader and true champion, always ready to defend the innocent and to smite the forces of evil. Silo The Tactician Swift and precise, Silo makes every shot count. Born into a family of smugglers, he spent his life running under the radar and challenging tyrants. Now he's using those same skills to fight the Gloom. Silo loves long odds—the greater the challenge, the greater the thrill. Niss The Shadow Dancer Niss is kin to the shadows, and ...

Newsarama interview with Joe Madureira on Savage Wolverine

Over at Newsarama.com they have an interview with Joe Madureira and Zeb Wells talking about their upcoming 3 issue run on Savage Wolverine. Give it a read and check out the new pages! Newsarama: Zeb, Joe, following the Avenging Spider-Man arc you did together, you're working again on Savage Wolverine. What's unique and special about this partnership that has you returning to it? Zeb Wells: There's an energy to Joe's artwork that I really like writing for, and the storytelling is so strong. It's just so much fun to be alone in your office — which is usually so depressing — and seeing his artwork in your head as you write. It makes it a fun experience. Joe Madureira: I'm blushing right now! [Laughs.] Originally when we were trying to figure out what I was going to work on at Marvel, they had sent me stuff from various writers — I had just been away for a while. I didn't even know what characters were cool anymore, or what was going on with S...
