MARVEL Year one

[Marko Djurdjevic]

Hey gang,

I haven't been on here for a long while. I kinda felt burned out on forums and online communities for a while. I took off for a long time to reboot my systems and recharge some batteries. I hope everyone is doing well? I've seen some great new threads lately, by old favorites and new talent. That's always great to watch.
Two weeks ago, my first year as a Marvel exclusive came to an end. I still have a few more to go, but I felt it was time to look at things in retrospective. After counting through I came to realize that I finished 82 covers for Marvel in one year alone. That doesn't count, redesigns, interior pages and numerous marketing illustrations for the upcoming HULK 2 movie that's coming next year. I've never been busier in my life. Looking back at the last year I can count the times I went out of my studio with my ten fingers. It has been ridiculous and continues to be so.
But I've been unbelievably lucky and fortunate to work with a host of editors at Marvel who've been great as to just let me run without any direction, while being incredibly supportive and motivating all the time. That is a great basis for production.
I wanted to make a thread that collects all the work from last year, that shows all the fuck up's next to the better stuff I've produced, without hiding just behind the good pics.

And now for some art, I still can't release all stuff but here's what I can show:

let me be the first to say "HOLY FUCK!"

great to have you back man, you have been missed

[Alday.J]

Superbe ! ^^
For once in my life, I'm very happy to not be in 56k, haha !
ok, you obviously understand I can't make a proper comment on each pictures, but damn ! Those Daredevil are probably the best I saw in ages !!! And the interior sequential... WOW !

On the Iron Mask thing, I just wonder how do you work on something with a strong historical context without ref, and keep a "comic-book" mood in it ? In other words, was it a challenge for you ? How you negociate something different from the other covers ? Just curious.
Best.
J.

[h2rra]

Amazing stuff dude, thanks for posting!

[Clodioz]

O

it's a good fucking thread!!!!

HolY ShiT Holy Shit x 10^99999!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I gonna cry, piss, everything!!!!!

Artgasms all the way trough. i have to say you make some seriously awsome pices of artwork and characters.

lighting, mass, composition, everything. just AWSOME! feed us more of this godlike quality, please .

[James Kei]

That What if? cover is my new favorite work from you.
Man,...I'm envious that you have such an understanding client.

Great work!

[auden100]

schwing. nice. Thanks posting all the loot, and here in one place. Quality and convenience. Marko, you are my first stop for CA.org hard-ons. cheers.

[Saturns Gate]

Yo Marco!

All of these shine your personnel style as you probably well know! If I had to nitpick it would be with the Iron Mask #5, the dudes cape in the foreground looks a bit flat to me, maybe if you put some of those yellow highlights on the ridges of the capes crevices near his shoulder it may have looked a bit more 3D, and could also point towards the main character compositionally. Looking at it again, I think I understand why you did that, maybe to bring less focus on the foreground character and more onto the main dude. All in all though you got the skills for sure! Cant wait to see more! Now go have a bloody holiday man!

[TheGnoll]

wow man, always happy to see your updates.
I bet i'll see some of these in the next marvel illustration book...and btw, are you still working on a book on your work?
Can't wait for the next update

ciao

[Fellah.]

Worth the wait! Great to see you posting again. Fantastic work!

[Mandryk]

Fuck yeah. Way to drop the hammer.

[Theo]

Man this is insane.

And I dont even like comics. wtf.

[Art_Addict]

Hehehe.... yeah.. cool

Jezus man, how do you keep it up ?

[donalfall]

Jesus sweet tapdancing Christ, this thread is amazing. It's not just that they're great (they are), or that it's cool to see Marvel give a really good illustrator a decent shot at a load of covers (it is), but it's what you made of them that really stands up and shouts for attention. I hope you are putting a book together - it would be the first marvel thing I'ld be tempted to buy in years. Thanks for the look at all these, they're really sweet.

[dem0n]

Dude! You're a freakin superhero yourself.. this stuff is amazing.
I especially love your venom interpretations. I'd love to see more of those.
I'd say keep it up.. but I've got no doubt you will. You're a true inspiration.

[MattGamer]

Good works. The character studies are among my favorite. Thanks for sharing! Chairs!

[joelhinxman]

wow you are still alive. i figured you where eaten by a bear or something.

[Justin.]

This is probably the single most impressive dump by any one individual.

Cheers Marko, very, very nice.

[DSillustration]

[Artworkguy]

Great stuff, would be neat if Marvel did li'l a Marko- Year One artbook...

Would be interesting to hear which of these you thought turned out best, and which you consider "fuckups"?

[Call0ps]

[PyroMania]

Love, love, LOVE the Blade #5!



This is the epitome of awesomeness, I swear.

The rest of your dump is beyond wonderful.

Ghost Rider has some issues with his right shoulder area, but who am I to crit?!

Thanks for sharing, Marko!

Brilliant, brilliant stuff, I continue to be inspired!!!

[Taj]

Wow, marko How long does it take you to create each and what kind of deadlines do you usually work around.

no wonder you've been away from CA.
