I know it's been a while since I've updated but I just had to post this evening since Joe Madureira has a new variant cover out today! It's for DC's Justice League vs. Suicide Squad #3!
There's also been some new Battle Chasers: Nightwar artwork popping up like a character design for the 'Demon Hunter' and two epic splash pages.
A really cool Captain America: Steve Rogers variant cover came out as well, probably one of my favourite Joe Mad! cap drawings.
Joe did up a fan art piece for the indie game Darkest Dungeon.
He's a hidden gem found in the Blizzard card game Hearthstone. Joe did a design for a character named Price Malchezaar.
Along with Joe Mad!'s variant cover for Justice League of America #06 one lucky fan received a one-of-a-kind Harley Quinn sketch variant cover! I would LOVE this for my Joe Mad collection *wink* *wink*.
DC came out with a reboot of Justice League called Rebirth and Joe did up a variant cover featuring Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman. He also posted a few concept sketches before revealing the final piece.
That's all for now! I hope you enjoyed the post. I'll try and regularly update the site this year if Joe continues drawing variant covers and who knows...maybe 2017 is the year we will finally see Battle Chasers #10!
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...
