My Son, SIXMOREVODKA & serendipity (100+ new images)

[Marko Djurdjevic]

Hey CA, hey friends....


It's been over a year since I posted my last thread in this section. So much stuff has happened since then, that I'm still amazed at how many experiences fit into just 365 days.
On the 16th of June our son Adrian was born, healthy, louder than his dad and a true character. For the past three months my wife and I have been watching him grow, poop, burp, laugh, cry, figure out how to put his fist into his mouth and many more things. So many things have changed since then, I crash before 11 pm from sheer exhaustion and wake up around 6 am, because Adrian want's to be carried around and entertained. Also this year, I decided to finally open up the SIXMOREVODKA Studio in Berlin. This has been a long plan of mine that is finally coming to fruition. I always felt the life of an artist or illustrator to be very lonesome, so the Studio is supposed to become an anchor for my social life and a headquater for future operations. Check the end of the post for some Photos.
Marvel still keeps me busy and I enjoy the working relationship more than ever. I found great friends along the editors and management and the work has brought me to a ton of strange places over the past year.
Since the New Zealand Workshop is approaching and I will be teaching there, I just want to use this thread to give you guys an idea of what to expect and to hopefully sign up if you have a chance.

But now, off to the art.

While I was working on THOR, Marvel approached me with an idea for a Variant cover for one of their issues. The asked me to take the pencils of the regular penciller Oliver Coipel and paint it into a cover. They said I'd have free reign with the image, so I did what I could, played around and painted it up. This was a ton of fun and Olivier and I ended up becoming good friends during the process.

Olivier's pencils:

This cover was a collaboration between me and the Inker Danny Miki. It was the first time I had my pencils inked by somebody else. When I got the finished inks back from him, I colored the piece digitally in PS.

I was fortunate enough to work on two issues of THOR for Marvel this year. This was the first time I had to complete an entire comicbook, something I failed doing while I was younger. This was a really outstanding experience, since the deadline was a turbocrunch and I had to work on something that I had never done before. The challenge was great and I completed the interiors for both books in 10 days each.

MAGNETO

This was one of the rare occasions where I was able to tackle some different non-superhero stuff. The Magneto mini-series basically tells the origin story of Magneto during the time of the Nazis. This was a great job that I enjoyed from start to finish.

WHAT-IF?

Similar to the collaboration I did with Olivier Coipel early this year, Marvel reapproached me for a few more of these.

bye...

[Venger]

You probably get tired of hearing this, but exceptional work Marko, (inspiration overload :))
I really enjoy your design elements as well as your brush and pencil skills ;)
Thanks for the progress shots too, an insight into your twisted mind hehehe.
Cute baby as well.

[Elwell]

Things I love:
The black/white/red Magneto pieces
That awesome Spidey suit
The glowing veins on the Hulk
The kid!

[Visceral 619]

congratulations Marko, I'm really happy to see everything fall into place for you, you've worked your ass off and deserve all the best in this world.

Your a real inspiration man, best of luck to your company.

Haris.

[TASmith]

Congrats on the baby! While I can't imagine what it's like to be making such art on a regular basis, I bet you feel more proud of being a dad? I know that's how I feel. I'm still waiting for all these pics to download, but if there's no drawing of your son, I hope to see some soon. As you can see in my avatar, mine's my favorite muse of late. There's a thread in the lounge called Humorous Moments, etc, and we've been posting alot about family and children. It'd be great if you shared some stories there.

Oh, and thank you very very much for sharing all this!!! I always learn a great deal from your work.

[Brushcommander]

in b4 a shit-ton of replies

Also, Glückwünsche für das Neugeborene! (wenn auch ein wenig spät)

[the ANGRY filipino]

WOW! you sure do make up for a years worth of not posting!
Congratulations on having a child!( He even has his hair done like yours in a way!) One of the best things if not the best thing a person can experience.
Personally, I especially love the part when I look into my 3 year old son's eyes and for that moment, all the bullshit in the world just melts away.

And those thor pencils are mind blowingly good!
Respect to you and thanks for the inspiration!

( P.S. You are aware that we are all quaking in fear of your son's artistic abilities right? I mean, look how talented his parents are! )

[teazr]

Amazing stuff you've got there. Really nice looking studio as well. Looking forward to see more.

[TheGnoll]

amazing, as usual, the sheer amount of stuff is a bit too much to take all in one go...
i'll be attending the comics school in reggio emilia and Cammo already mentioned some things about you...so after mantova, we meet again bahahaha

i'll probably post again in this thread, just for the sake of ass patting.

ciao
Ryan

[Meon]

Sir!

Thanks alot for the massive dose of excellent and inspirational art.
and your son kicks ass! :D
i just recently bought your DVD, loving it.

Thanks,
Espen

[Hyskoa]

It's nice to have stuff like the sixmorevodka studio happening closer to home instead of a gazillion, billion miles away on a small uninhabited part of another continent only reachable by sherpa or halo skydiving.

[Diego]

wowow, THANKS you for sharing a year of your life, it took like forever to see all the pictures but enjoyed it of course. Cute kid you have, he has a powerfull look in his eyes.
Well, cool to see more of your work again, in this case TONS of it hehe.

Cheers man

[hurricane]

Hey Marko!
This is one massive update hehe, very interesting to look at. I've seen some of them before, stumbling upon them as I surf around.

Your art is looking good. Very nice use of colours and the compositions are tight as always. I'm surprised how some of them are very loose. Cool to see those go through to print as well and not only the tight renders.

Nice to see the steps of how you paint as well.

If i have to pick something I like the most I must say it's your compositions. They are very strong.

Congratulations on your kid! He's gorgeous! I had a kid as well, on September 7th this year.

Anyways, enough of asspats haha, you'll get tons more ;)

cheers
:vodkamachine:

[squidmonk3j]

[Victor B]

Congrats on Adrian! thats an awesome shirt/sweater you got on him! The new studio looks kickin' can't wait to see what the "Big" announcement is If I'm ever in Germany I'll have to drop in. Its always a treat to see you post, I've been especially enjoying your Thor and Ghost Rider Covers also you collabs have been very entertaining. Thanks again , see you round' Cheers!

[Orunitier]

One word: DAMN.

[Saturns Gate]

[Kian]

[brokencow]

geeeez, i'm speechless and worthless hhaahah. Really amazing what you've done in a year indeed. Thanks for sharing.

[Vritra]

I usually refrain from posting in this section of the forum since I can't draw for shit.

But this thread... wow...

Thank you for sharing this, sir. Thank you.

[Idiot Apathy]

No words for how epic this post is; someday there will be posts about this post and then posts about those posts. Children may even be named after this post. Songs will be written.

[Manu is malin]

Thanks for the kick in the ass, I should go back to work now ... Glad to hear about all these great things happening, the studio... and the kid of course :)

[Benjamen Christ]

what a massive amount of exceptional work! thank you !!!! i hope to meet you soon, you should take a trip to Maui some time!

[davi]

I just spent about 3 hours looking at all these pieces. Really appreciate you taking the time to do these mega posts, really inspirational to myself and hundreds others here at ca.

My roomie has a poster that looks ALMOST dead on to your hulk walking render, but it has a bunch of post digital jibberish on it. Not sure if it is your work or if someone did a version based on yours.

My favorites are the Centaur/Hercules fight cover, The Howard the duck cover, The piece of thor jumping over top of the frost giant, Hulk movie concept where he is leaping frontwards, and the daredevil secret invasion piece with the lightning going nutty in the background.

congrats on the child again, congrats on everything. Keep it up

-muppet

[GriNGo]

Fucking kick ass.... Kid!! Congrats to you & the missus for him he's the best creation you've made so far!

[nicolas]

you're a fucking madman, but you know that already. see you in October!

[Nrx]

soooooo.... do you wear spandex like the rest of the super heroes when your working?

Shit man.. just shit i gotta get me to germany to see this magic

Congrats on the kid too, can you imagine if his work ethic comes out stronger than yours, be no jobs left in the world with you two around

[James Kei]

Wow dude, I'm speechless. I love the sequential work. Great storytelling.
Howard the Duck! wow.

Congrats on the healthy baby boy. So cute!

I'm gonna have to come visit you in Berlin when I get a chance.
I'll see you in Wellington....

Cheers.

[psychoboy]

Holy Shit!

You're the Bono of the comics' field;

Love the Spectacle, keep rocking
Good luck with the studio & the kid

[Interceptor]

Everything in this thread in beautiful, from the sketches, to the paints and more than all, your baby boy! The sky's the limit, the even higher for you, mate.

Congrats on the fruitions of all your hard work.
No one deserves it more.

edit/ btw.. even without the crits. the advice you gave me back in april really helped me get things on tracks. i appreciate it more than you could know. thanks for that. i'm in your debt, Marko.

[Daniel Andrews]

An utter treat for you to have posted so much for us. Especially the view of the Studio and Adrian. I dig his little mo hawk you gave him.

Im looking forward to hearing and seeing whats in store for SIX-MORE-VODKA, and your relationship with marvel.
Beautiful work.

See you again at the Calgary Convention? :O
Best
D

[Clodioz]

Holy shit

:idol: marko everything has been said here :O

[Dile_]

YOU SIR ARE FUCKING INSANE!

I love every fucking piece , and it really makes me wanna read those comics !! I wish I was a comic collector now.. haha!

KEEP ROCKING ! Lovely kid too :D

[Clodioz]

wow my firefox crushed down :lol:, Im happy for your studio, it looks pretty :).
I forgot to mention, you were the first artist I saw here in Concept art. I was googling the word "sketch" and found out a forum with a thread showing some Blade sketches and covers... it was in 2006 :)

[Mindflaw]

Huge post with great art :) I'll be re-entering this thread many times since it's to much to take in one look...

I hope your studio will be as much successful art-wise, business-wise and social-wise as your son likes to be carried around and entertained in the morning.

thanks for posting

[Coinpurse]

Gahhh speechless once again -.-

Amazing work, congrats!

[nyyti]

I don't know what to say...utterly mindblowing experience it is to see your art. If I just could see you draw IRL, I bet even that would motivate me to study anatomy more :).

Great job on the kid too, future artist in the making.

[Clint Kisor]

Amazing stuff! :D I love all the stuff you have here. It's all very inspirational. I hope to see more very soon.

[Pichuerca]

Congratulations for your baby, i didn´t know it.

For all your work and pages, thanks a lot!. It´s very inspiring. I Hope your studio shall grow very quickly like Massive Black did.

Bye

[Serpian]

I love the last two magneto pieces.

And I love the pencil sketches. That's not to say that I don't love everything in this post, but I love those things the most. See how much love you have given me? Just count the times i have written love in this post. LOVE.

EDIT: also, I love the dumpster in front of your lovely new studio!

[TZA]

bloody hell, can't wait to see what you're like next year, this stuff continues to get better and better

[PieterV]

"What a lovely son you have!"
"Thanks, I've designed him myself!"

Awesome works man, you're a machine!

[sabin boykinov]

Hi Marko
This is the greatest inspirational post I ever see here, thanks a lot for sharing!
Congratulations for you son and wait to see what will be the amazing happening next year.
I wish you much success of the studio and also in life.

[Hive_minD]

Huge inspiration. I Wish you and your family the very best that life can give you. I also hope I'll get to see you studio in person one day!

Chris

[Staz Johnson]

Holy shit dude..... it's all i have to say... holy shit!!

cute kid btw..

Take care mate.

[Hai]

Strange how much someone you've never met can mean so much you. I could look at these works forever.

It's ironic how you draw superheroes, when you are one yourself. No, seriously dude, don't just laugh it off.

[Brun]

WOW dude, awesome work
your work really is as good as ever,

I could go on and on ass licking your work, and telling u how much u where an inspiration to me back in the dayswhen i just started drawing and even now. but instead of that i'm gonna give u some quick crits.

First off: "im in no position to critisize your work, u are an amazing artist (but hey i'm doing it anyways)

your colours and your brushstrokes look a bit dull, even tho they still look amazing, I guess this is cause of the amount of work u have to finnish in time, altho when i see the covers of your work in my hands (and not on the computer screen) they look much much better, Once again I'm not even close to how good u are, and i'm not trying to diss u here, just telling u that the colours could use a bit more attetion, cause sometimes u do amazing shit with your colours, and sometimes well sometimes its a bit dull, i guess they can use more uhm...variation or contrast... also i don't now if marvel has a say in this or not.

ANYWAYS, don't take it as a crit, its probebly just my eyes

another thing (and this is not a crit but a compliment) I wanted to point out how amazed i am by your skill in composition, its trully mindblowing, the work u have done in a year and the problems u need to solve for every illustration are just amazing, great work.

I wish u all the luck with your lady and your new born kid. He looks adoreable.

Godspeed and good luck with your sixmorevodka.

thx allot for this post i've waited for it for months ;)

(ps: do forgive my poor english :()

[Maestro Andres]

Amazing stuff. So much to appreciate in a short time. Very inspiring and congrats on your kid. Keep rocking.

[lewiston]

It's real magic when you take the pencils out. I am not a big fan of your coloured pieces, but the pencils you sure got under control! Thanks for sharing those...

And congratulations to that cool kid!

[el coro]

as flashy and disgustingly competent as the painitings are, with their screaming well muscled dudes and glowy parts, ill always love your drawings the most. i love every minute of your linework. always have, blah blah blah. great post man. i knew it had to be coming at some point.

one of these days you will be sitting in your studio, and you are going to smell something strange. you will get up to find the source of this odor, only to find me over by that couch, taking a shit on the floor.
"CORO! why are you shitting on my floor?!"" you will ask me.
"so we have a place to make love." is how i will answer you.


the kid is getting big.

cant wait to cross swords with you once again brother.

c36

[Mr.Delicious]

thats what its all about. The amount of work accomplished... I love the everything! Your lines are so solid and make your paintings look awesome even if you don't flesh em out all the way. Thanks for the kick!

[Toastage]

cant wait to cross swords with you once again brother.


:wtf:

I opened this thread mid way through my broccoli quiche. I had to put the quiche down and soak up every glorious little detail of linework. I don't put food down easily.

This post is the biggest amount of awesome. It's so inspirational. Thanks for posting it Marko.

[alesoun]

A real work of art takes on a life of its own (or something like that). Your son is gonna be a work of art that takes 70 years or so........ (cute wip, though.... shows awesome promise)

Sounds like you're in a very good place. And if I ever make it round the corner from you, I like my coffee with milk and one sugar....

Thanks for the update....

[paberu]

only one word - EPIC

[Noah Bradley]

Simply incredible.

[Wasker]

Wow, Marko, are you for real? Great job on the images and the kid. He looks just like a tiny version of you.

[louis cypher]

Glueckwunsh zum kleinen Sohnemann und Studio. Love your work as always!

[Robert.B]

Yay page 3 well before this turns into page 44..45...46.... I just wanted to say thanks. You have continued to Imspire me while setting examples of an artist who has no concept of limitations. Quantity, Quality, its always there! I just wanted to say thanks for continuing to post but also for setting the bar higher and higher. Congrats again on your son you two our gift to eachother Im sure.

[Aidil_Afham]

My god, im overwhelmed. Is it ok if i beat off to this?

Nah just kidding. As always, ur Marvel covers transcends all boundaries. And im really liking the studio. I see being your own boss allows u to smoke on the job ;) And grats on your son, i see he has his little Marko-Hawk done. He'll sure to be the popular kid in school haha

[sourgasm]

Magneto paintings are flooring. Absolutely stunning.

Also, Ghost Rider pissing is my favorite comic book illustration I've seen this year. As much as I love your paintings, your pencils are where it's at for me.

Truly epic post. Should be immediately shuffled into a prominently positioned sticky for life-long forum enjoyment.

Good luck with the little demon seed!

[DSillustration]

I guess I'll say what everyone else is afraid to...

I think you've been getting lazy.

Really, I expect at least 200 images before you waste my time with a thread.

Seriously though, congrats on the baby.
Everything else pales in comparison, huh?

[Equality72521]

the sequentials are absolutely amazing, the true foundation of your art can be seen in those, great job!

[Dahami]

I prefer to spend my time looking at sci-fi/fantasy concept work for movies and computer games, but this superhero stuff does show impressive skill and knowledge of anatomy. Thanks for posting so much great stuff.

[Dished]

HOly Bajzeezus marko!!! this is amazing!!!!
the tbolt 118 is reallly really amazing, i love that one and the 0207special one. I think its awesome how you included a lot of the sketches, my favorites are most of the thor ones, especially the ages of blood cover.
thanks soo much for the inspiration and for sharing this, this is a brilliant treat! and adrian is adorable!!!

[Studio Colrouphobia]

Always nice with an update from you Marko,
specialy like the Ghstrider pieces and the "off-light" ones.
he sketches and linework are ace as per usual.

The collabs are really good, but I think the ones you do from start to finnish yourself are better.

Brun said that your colours look a bit dull.
I agree, on some occations it seems like they are dull, almost like you put a 10% white over them, in some they are very vibrant though, Im thinking ArtDirection though...


Wasker beat me to it, but you do know your son is havingthe same haircut as you right? There is no way you can escape being called his dad on sight!

:)


Shame I cant go to NZ...

[Kvick]

Never fails to impress :).

congrats on the studio and on the boy, I'm sure he'll grow to love faux-mullet-hawks also :P

[Chate Noire]

Absolutely breathtaking. And painful as hell.
Thank you for sharing, it'll take me a couple of hours to be able to speak again.

[Chuck,mate.]

how did you... when did you... what... how...
I have never seen anything like this. never. EVER.
such beauty, such range. the sheer v-o-l-u-m-e.
you are my hero, man.

and kudos on that cute little fella of yours as well. a job well done, indeed. ;)

I`d sit down and draw a bit now- if it wasn`t for this thread of yours, which got me fucking depressed to my very core. not sure I`ll ever draw again now, actually.


all the best, Marko. you deserve it all.


Pat.

[HunterKiller_]

Daaaammmnnnn! That's a lot of work.

Lovely studio space.
Congratulations on your baby.

Look forward to seeing you soon.

[- Anarchy -]

Wow! Congratulations to you and your wife! It seems to me that children are the best and the most important in our life. Also opening your own studio is a great deal. Everything that you do in creativity and in a life is for me directing light, do not stop!

[ditlev]

very inspirering marko, and the studio looks great. I know I am going to be banned from CA for saying this, but I think some of the images has lost too much of your amazing line work.
I don't know if it makes any sens, what I am saying!

[algenpfleger]

Beyond incredible O_O

[/ev]

Your pencils are always impressive.
The studio is inspiring- great looking location.
Thanks for sharing mate.

IM DYING!! THANK U! THAT'S EPIC!!

[Creatinity]

Congrats on the little kiddy :)

Some stuff here is mind-blowing...it actually made me buy my first comics ever (good move marvel :D)

I'm always inspired by your technique...it's really keeping me going during my practices...cant thank you enough for that...

If I'm around in Berlin, I wish i'll have the guts to pay you a visit!

[ROBOT_TANK]

Marko, your fukin insane man! Your art slaughter's!! It's past my bed time, thanks to your thread, but very worth it!! Congrats on Adrian and your studio. I'm unemployed, please hire me!!
Peace dude, take care

[jalingon3011]

Although your illustrations are good, compare to them I actually like your THOR#7 comic better...somehow the character and things in there seems to be more "alive" in there, maybe it's because of the composition, or perhaps some sense of liveness or movement was lost during the coloring process. Anwyay, overall good work.

[Kan Muftić]

Brate,
Moja dragana i ja cemo vas uskoro posjetiti u Berlinu.
Adrian je pravi mali umjetnik.
Slike su ti.. Jebi ga.. Nemam rijeci.
Pozdravs,
Kan

[Bendragon]

What an inhuman update! Looks like you got an awesome family to go with the awesome artwork :) Congratulations you lucky man!

[miNze]

Awsome update ! Congrats !

Mal ehrlich, ist es nicht stink langweilig alleine in diesem Zimmer ? Darf man dich mal besuchen kommen ?

Btw, ich hab da ein paar Ideen, was du mit dem Laden neben deinem Studio anstellen willst ... entweder eine Porno-Videothek ODER .............

[clanlord]

Your gift is amazing!

George

[clanlord]

And second, maybe I am not the only one who is catching again the pencil and going to the drawing board after this!

[shadoman]

Wow....just wow.... you have so much diversity in your works. I am impressed.

Congrats on lil guy. Having 3 kids of my own, good luck on that front, you'll need it.

[Balton]

hi marko,
I hope you don't mind me visiting you at sixvodka :) as soon as my cold is not plagueing me anymore.

[D@niel]

Thanks for sharing your amazing art with us, the sheer volume and quality astounds me!!:)

[Dan Milligan]

thanks for sharing a little food and drink my friend. It's was so great to
see you.

kiss kiss

[EVIL]

To bad I don't live in Berlin, so I could haunt you by breathing against the glass on moist winter days and draw doodles in the condensated breath.

Kick ass post Marko, that's some mad collection of art and your studio looks real nice! If I ever find myself in Berlin on purpose I'll make sure to drop bye and use your toilet.

Good luck in raising your son and future endeavours. I'll be anxiously awaiting you to lift the Vail on the use of the shop.

-Ivo Nies

[Daray]

I think you just gave everybody a good kick up the arse to work again. Fantastic update, a hero in your own right. And god your son is too cute. I hope to see some art of him in the future!

[Daniel Andrews]

Haha Coro wins for best post, that shit is hilarious.

[goran]

Svaka cast !
Cestitam na novom clanu familije !
Sve najbolje!

[Carbono]

Your stuff looks great, I love how you make it seen natural and spontaneous, like free flowing brushstrokes. Great stuff, I would love to know how much time you expend on each one of these covers.

My favorite part was the concepts, I'm really waiting for Spiderman-Noir now, It looks great.

Well man, Great stuff, really inspirational.
Cheers! And congratulations about the baby!

[Dallas]

Ah, this explains where you've been. Impressive output. !!!!!!!

[blumarling]

hi marko! i'll go to the romics event in rome ... i hope to see you just to shake the hand of a legend like you ...
see you :)

[RafaelSarmento]

Well, I guess it's time to have courage and write to you Marko, since I'm a HUGE fan, for VERY personal reasons - I became aware of your existence a couple years ago, just when a great turnaround in my life put me in the way of arts and illustration, where really I should belong... We have some very specific similarities in our lifes (don't take me wrong, I'm not assuming that I know everything about you!), and this fact got me insighting about how life is great when we know our place in the world...
Congrats not only for your work, but for being this supercool person you are, providing us with such a infinite inspiration. Wish I could talk to you someday!
Ich lieb dich you crazy barbarian!
All the best for you and your family,
Rafa

PS.: your boy is one of the most amazing little human being I've ever seen!!!

[Velocity Kendall]

Page bookmarked. Incredible exciting work!

[Adrian Wilkins]

Holy Crap, My name is Adrian and I'm also from germany 0_o that must be a sign!

congraaaaatulation btw

probably he's gonna grow up kicking some serious ass in the future artistically just like his epic dad xD

[donalfall]

That was way too much to take in at once. Go back and make this thread smaller and with less awesome so that we can actually mentally digest it.

:) Your son is a handsome lad. Looks mischevious. Congratulations. I'll call in when I go to Berlin next year.

[Bomba]

I was talking with my wife yesterday in which I said 'Life is what you make of it.' I believe there is some validity in that notion. From what I know, see, and hear... you have made numerious dreams come true.

Very happy for you and all that you have become & will be.
Your son sports the same hair-do which I find adorable,
-Jason

[CeeJay]

mmmmmmmmmm....sssgoood....isgooood

.... izgooooooooooooooooooood

Wow man definitly something to be proud of great work, and congratz on your flash new studio and vibrant wee one :) he looks like a handful n_n.

Looking foeward to seeing you at Welly, till then take care man.

[t11]

Happy to know that this (http://sixmorevodka.com/SUPERPOST/Hulk-Cover-revision3.jpg) is indeed one of yours. I was afraid the box of pencil case tins I bought with it on it were imitation Marko's :)

Huge inspiration with every mark. Thank you for coming back n' sharing with the mongrels. Best of luck! :)

[Kfeeras]

What the fudge.. you think of nothing special, click on the FF-Thread and BAM... Marko just posted a thousand awesome pieces of his artwork... great to see new stuff, man! Thanks so much for sharing!

Hab selber lange Zeit in Berlin gelebt. Werd nächstes Jahr wieder Verwandte dort besuchen gehn. Werd auf jeden Fall mal reinschneien!! Was wohl in die extra Räume kommt... hmm bin mal gespannt. Also entweder hältst du dort Workshops ab, baust nen Showroom, oder züchtest wilde Tiere. Eines davon muss es sein.



The next step would be your own Vodka-Brand...

[Artworkguy]

Nice! Collabs are always cool, so I hope there will be more jams with inkers in the future, would be interesting to see what clean guys could do with your stuff such as Dell, Townsend and Vines, as well as more gritty inkers like Janson and Reinhold.

Really interesting to see the end result when you do your stuff over other pencillers as well. Love the Coipel paintjob.

[AndresArias]

a true marvel working for Marvel!!! Congrats on your child and studio!!

[roidvoid]

im so happy for you marko. you are a really inspiring person with a great story.
hard work and determination.

are you getting an art book from marvel?> that would be amazing to see these as nice oversized prints.

congrats on your first born. from what ive heard in interviews, your dedication continues on into your family life. you sound like you will make a great father. oh and ps the resemblance is all in the hair from what i can see. lol

[corky13]

Congratulations on your son, Marco =) And on your studio. ^^

Maybe when I am back in Berlin I will get the BerlinSketchgroup up again and make a little visit to your studio if you don` t mind *g*

[InvertedChalupa]

wow wow and wow... Congrats on another super productive year(and some-how seemingly even more productive year than last considering your now juggling a kid!)

... and your son is adorable : )

Amazing work, would love to see the studio first hand one day!

Nick

[Taj]

Congrats on the kid Marko

[nutz4art]

Wow amazing work of art.

[Rusty]

That last lot of images is a masterpiece! :)
Inspiring work as always Marko, See ya in NZ.

...Jase

[vcoleman]

Really fantastic body of work. It is even better by seeing the improvement in your painted work over last year's post. Thanks for sharing, and your kid is awesome. You guys should be proud parents.

[illustratorwayne]

your work is beyond inspirational. absolutely amazing stuff here.

[Fireflights]

You fucking astound me. Amazing, yet again.

Congrats on the studio and the little one - his shirt's hilarious, by the way! :D Great work, thanks for sharing.

[Extollere]

The artwork is awesome as usual, but I am astounded that you actually made the effort to upload and post more than 100 images. Can't even imagine how long that took. Thanks for sharing!

[El Jeremie]

Yes, i love Howard the duck.
It remembered me the movie.
Nice kid memories

[Molly]

Sheeeit! how fast did this thread grow? Fantastic post Marko - and congratulations on becoming a dad, you must be very proud!!!!

Mx

[WODZGN]

Congratulation on everything, the art, the studio and your son!

[Siamese Goldfish]

Unfortunately I can't say much that hasn't been said... So i will just repeat. these are great, thanks for sharing, you are truely inspirational.

I have to say the zombie spider man is one of my favorites. its just so different and... well just plain nuts.

I want to go to Germany just so i can stop in and say hi... may have to go raid the penny jar.

[strych9ine]

The studio looks nice as hell... how many people a day walk in thinking it's some sort of fancy boutique? Cute ass kid and a steady flow of mind-fucking artwork, things seem to be going well for you man! Congrats.

[stoph]

i dont check the FF section for a day or two and THIS pops up? GAH. even if everyone quit art except for you, you'd probably be able to take on everyone's workload and still make awesome babies haha! i'm seriously beginning to doubt your mortality or need for sleep..

see you at the workshop :)

[Diphallia]

ok I died from the pure awesomeness!

[JL.Alfaro]

Great pool of works man, bustin' your ass off really pays off and your're proof of that. truly inspiring stuff.
That studio is sweet, plenty of leg room there, some large scale posters would do the place good indeed. ;)

Welcome to the parenting world! and hey, get ready to do a lot of work with a baby/toddler on your lap...oh man, you'll see.

-Joe

[Spade]

I think what I enjoyed most was the awesome.

[ArtZealot]

this has to be the most amazing and inspiring art dump yet on ca.org. thanks!

[Asatira]

DAMN! How could you get all that much done and still be so great quality? And your little boy is so cute.

[e-beef]

aww marko, adrien is your best creation yet! the rest of the stuff is pretty good, too. :)

and your working space management has much improved. congratulations on all of it.

[Verehin]

Awesome stuff Marko, but, really, I cry without your character designs

[Peter Konig]

Marko...I can't believe how great you're doing. And a baby too. It just gets better and better. I remember your face when hanging out with me and my son in SF a few years ago...I could tell at the time that you were going to eventually head in the daddy direction, I could just see it. Congrats on everything... keep it up. And email me once in a blue moon, Mr Bigshot.

[Craig D]

I'm happy you're doing so well.
Great art too.

[Carnifex]

my god,you're slaying me man...
and the kid already has your hair :) no one will be able to say "my dad's cooler" in school :D

[Nibras]

Thank you marko
for bieng marko
Tell your kid i love him :P

[Gory]

Holy fuckballs that's a lot of awesome work. I guess that's the difference when your work isn't under NDA for years at a time. ;\

The studio looks awesome.

This thread has to have set some sort of ConceptArt record for number of images posted at once and number of replies in 2 days.

[Bill]

Awesome, and congrats

[AphexTweak]

Wow... :xpld:
What... :xpld:
How... :xpld:
When... :xpld:
I can't fit anything else in my brain after seeing this post... :xpld:
Simply mind blowing... :xpld:

Congrats on your son and studio.
Well done... Wishing you continued success and happiness for all aspects of you life. Thanks for sharing with us.

[poise]

What a cutey your little boy is! So far he has your features.:)
Awesome work! you look like your living a happy life on so many levels. Congrats with everything!!
Cheers,
-Tiff

[Carl Dobsky]

Dude, I know having a kid is a lot of work. But seriously, you can't let that affect your work. You've got to produce, man. Cause such a small amount of this stuff doesn't cut it. You know what I mean. :P

Keep up the work brutha!!!!!!!!!! That shit's awesome!!!!!!!!

[lyon]

Wow... just wow. I can't express it enough. So impressed with the quality of your work. The values are always just right on as is the drawing.

Love the Thor Age of Thunder and the Mighty Avengers paintings especially, but it is hard to really pick a favorite.

Beautiful boy. Totally life changing. I have three beautiful kids and can't imagine living without them.

The studio is looking great, your ambition is inspiring.

Thanks again for the post.

Howard

[sony]

thats for uploading all these for all of us thanks SIR!
congratulations on becoming parent!
:hugsmile: :hugsmile: :hugsmile:

[Vulgar`]

Looks like you've got a little Hercules of your own in the early stages. Top of the line artwork, I'd say your going places but it already looks like you've got yourself a place.

Keep doing you

[omelmahay]

Phenomenal.

[rawwad]

Pure happiness to see bunch of your new works.:confident

[deltron05]

Congrats on Adrian , and very nice way to spend 365 days !
You certainly don't waist your time ! As always, great work ! Thanks for sharing !

Peace
D.

[Faradoon]

Yes, an update! I've been waiting so long for news from you! Great work you share here! Nothing m,ore to say, but :bow:

Ich wünsche dir und deiner Familie alles Gute und Gesundheit für die Zukunft!

[dojiartwork0sac]

Sie haben ein FAn mehr gewonnen *.*
ich bin suwos von inspiriert vielen dank *.*

[Maury Ruiz]

Amazing! The Thor line and colors are my favorites. Beautiful work. Thanks for posting. . . ..don't know what else to say. Cheers

[Eclair]

Thank You! Just Thank you!

[Dark_Eyes]

Is there a reason i can't see these images? Anyone else having this problem? CRAP, I really wanna' see these..:eyeloss:

[monsi]

heh, ofcourse your studio has a gasmask on the wall ;[

nice space man, great little notch to create in.. outstanding work, but most of all, congratulations on such a beautiful little kid. :)

[bonner]

OMG Your work is a big inspiration, You are a breathe of fresh air. Kudos

[Boom]

What a badass source of inspiration this post is. Thanks for sharing!

Many congratz on the baby boy. He is gorgeous. I became father to a beatiful little girl in may, so I know what you are talking about. Those little ones ARE LOUD, eh... :)

I might take you on that invitation. My girlfriends' brother lives in Berlin, so I might pop in for a visit at some point.

Be well...

[Ian Miles]

Spechless.

Like the little barbarian in punk hairstyle. :)

[Layil]

wow, thats quite a body of work youre developing there. i see an amazing progression, its clear youre having a blast doing it!
best of all, congrats on your beautiful son. he's already a character!

[midknight523]

great work. i really like the Thor covers
congrats on your son

[popjordan]

woooooooow!! man! you must be kidding me ...

thanks for you sharing!!

[Fipse]

Great stuff Marko. It´s incredible what a mass of quality work you´re churning out. Makes me feel really lazy ...

Only thing I´m faster in than you is in producing kids :D. Just got my second offspring in August. So I wish everything good to you and your family - I know that it can be really demanding.

If I manage to come to Berlin in the next time I will surely visit your studio.

Greeting from the west of the republic

Fipse

[d-co]

marko...
what can I say?
I want to be you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Take care mister...

[Hexokinase]

Oddly enough I can't embed the youtube video...

Anyhoo, just wanted you to know that this how how I feel about you (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fzb09NAUhEo).

[MarkWinters]

So good it's obscene. Congrats on the fam and the studio and thanks for all the inspiration!

[bluebanana]

Your art is amazing : crazy dynamism, exciting compositions and values!!! It feels alive!

But your best work of art is definitely your son : congrats man :)

[Darktwin]

congrats on your beautiful boy, new studio, and amazing work man, thanks for the inspiration.

[Darasen]

All I can manage to say is holy cow. Thanks for sharing these with us and thanks to Marvel for letting you share these with us.

This thread makes me want to read Thor comics.

[arteric]

Yeah Marko... looks like I gotta jump on the "I wanna hump your leg in the hopes that some of your artistic ability rubs off on me" band wagon. Jaw droppingly gorgeous work.

Don't know how often you check this, but I recently attempted a chalk mural recreation of one of your pieces. The Thor cover with the blue background. I got about 5-6 hours in on it before, ironically enough, the God of Thunder was wiped out by a light shower.

I made a thread for it, photos can be found here:

Marko Chalk Mural Attempt (http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=136880)

I really hope I get another shot at recreating one of your works soon, preferably at a larger show where people can get to see the piece, and not at a small art festival where rain washes it away in a matter of moments.

Keep inspiring all of us!
Eric

[Dirty C]

Hello!

Scrolled through the shizzle yesterday - um, wow. You good at drawing. Really beautiful stuff. Also you make a beautiful mother ;)

Heard the rumours btw - interesting, mate, very interesting.

[manji]

Things I love:
The black/white/red Magneto pieces
That awesome Spidey suit
The glowing veins on the Hulk
The kid!

Damn Elwell already said what I was going to say about the latest stuff. Oh well. lol

I will say again thanks for the posting the sketches and some of your WIPs it helps more than you may know. Again you prove to be a source of inspiration for the self-taught guys like me. Congrats on your career and family I wish you the best man.

[Giorge]

:wtf: Holy mother of Mosses on a pogo stick jumping around Berlin wall (what is left of it) and singing <<Ich habe keine Lust mich nicht zu hassen
Hab' keine Lust mich anzufassen Ich hätte Lust zu onanieren...>> your post got me so pumped up minute by minute ... you have a cute kid , he has that long hair in the top of the head just like , that's funny , you know he really looks like you , in a few months he will be strong enough to rip that pierce from your nose . There is not much to say about your works that others did not say before me . When i was your last notes of your trip i almost fell from my chair ... so... between 13-15th October you will have me hanging on your leg like a chiwawa in heat.


All the best ...vodka , G.Roman

P.S. I'm sorry i took the liberty of adding a bubble on one of your drawings when i saw it it just banged me over the head like a shovel.

[Daniel Andrews]

Flamable - Nice Speak bubble!

[Pixeltuner]

bwoah, amazing stuff yet again. Inspiring as always :)

[Chris Noeth]

Hey Marko,

Congratulations on your boy (again)!

Thx for your inspiration!

Awesome studio!

Viele Grüße aus Bayern,

Chris

[Aleksi]

WOW !! I.N.C.R.E.D.I.B.L.E. as always Marko! Can't wait for a Marko's Marvel Artbook. All this pieces are easily recognizable with your style but you're always successful in adding new graphic approaches, different color palette and finding fresher and cooler design. You're the Master.
Congrats for all of them and even more for your son!!

[bfowler]

Pretty nice work. I'm working on a book that needs an artist and I think you'd do ok. I can't pay you up front but if the book makes any money I've cut you in. You can use the work for your portfolio. It's a good way to get your work out there.


Seriously though. You, sir, are a badass.

Give us some details on your involvement in the Hulk movie stuff. I've seen a lot of stuff that looks just like the Hulk stuff you posted.

With that extra office space you've got you should start a sperm bank. Just collect from all the "love" in this thread and you're set.

Cute kid too.

[Chris Noeth]

... I'm working on a book that needs an artist and I think you'd do ok. I can't pay you up front but if the book makes any money I've cut you in. You can use the work for your portfolio. It's a good way to get your work out there....

ROFL! :teeth:

Please tell me you are a comedy writer!

You made my day with your comment :^^:

Chris

PS: The best part... for a second I really thought you are serious! LOL!!!

[Daniel Andrews]

I thought he was serious at first too :P

[TheJester]

Holy @#$! A mini Marco! Heh! that has to be your best work so far!

For the drawn stuff, well, there's only 1-2 I haven't seen printed, and they too rocked my socks off! After a couple of years of following your work, I can definately say that at least between Marvel illustrators, you are one of the few that really deservingly earned your fame!!! I mean, from hunting down your covers before, I now walk in a comic store, and the marvel stand is full of your pieces. It's not only that I love your style, it's that it honestly "works" with some characters so well, it's as if you created them!

I hope that extra space next to the office is gonna involve comics, superhero movies, video games, arts, booze, boobies and babes in general, although that heavenly combination is yet to be concieved....

Anyway, you know you kick our asses up and down the forum every day, and you know we like it! All the best!!!

[P E N Ricklund]

Thanks for showing all this Marko. Candy for the eye and the mind.
Nice to see your studio space. Cool environment to work in.

And formost congratulations for becoming a father.

[Chris Noeth]

...And formost congratulations for becoming a father.

Everyone is asking the same question but because no one had the cojones to write it down: "When did you find the time for sex?"

:)

Best,

Chris

[Dolgopolov]

I think comments the superfluous. Simply art holiday!

[VirusArtist]

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhOO OOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!
my brain just exploded... art... overload.........

breaaaathe.. breeeaaaaathe... okay....

Damn! goodness all around and the little critter is looking good too (even has a crazy haircut- CUUUTE!)

And the studio is in the chodovieckistr?? AWESOME! i used to live there... guess i'll drop by soon to have a look at the original artworks and the creator...

all the best,
Etienne

[oICEMANo]

Damn dude, I think that was an awesomeness overload. I LOVE your Thor stuff. And that flashback Doom looked wicked! There are a few pics in there that I feel are not your best but for the most part it blew me away!

Thanks for posting!

[Alin]

:sungod: i like

[Ramon Contini]

Congratulations. Your kid is truly beautiful. Henrik told me ages ago that your wife was pregnant, so it's cool to see the pictures.

As for the studio. That shit is dope! I give you 3 weeks before that shit gets less tight and messy though ;)

If you don't mind me speculating the purpose of the other stores. Perhaps, a studio for your wife, an art gallery or a fashion atelier of some kind.

Last but not least, This batch of work is great in many regards. On a personal note though, I tend to miss some of your 'more' personal pencilled art. Still enjoy some of the stuff you did for Dissonance for example.

I understand the reality of doing an assload of commercial work.
Yet I kind of hope you have a batch of twisted Marko mind boggles accumilating in the background.

Rock on.

[doncam]

Mate, fantastic, that glass panel over your door should read "Genius at Work". Love the little guy. Goodluck with the studio.

[Sammy]

..... good god .... such amazing in my face. congratulations!

[Liam Harvey]

HOT DAMN MARKO! the collective might of awesome within your work never ceases to amaze and completely blow my mind away.

[Riiroi]

Totally out of this world. So darn inspirational! Thanks!

[g00dchild]

Incredible work Marko. Thanx for the inspiration.

[BC1967]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

and congarts on the birth of your son. All the best to you and your family!

[theEQUINOX]

the icon returns...truly incredible work, not that I'm surprised about that. hard to pick out nething specifically all of it is inspiring and top notch. tho the spiderman redesigns, so freakn cool. gratz to you and the wifey on your son (cute little guy), and for your new studio (it looks awesome). well, back to the drawing board for me, I got new inspiration for weeks thx to you.

[jordyskateboardy]

Pfft. I wet my pants seeing all these master pieces. Every single pic is outstaninding in almost every art aspect i can think up. This is one of those threads i browse through every morning and immediately have inspiration for the whole day. I definately need to get my hands on that thor book. Truely amazing and inspiring work Marko. And big congratulations with your cute son and studio. Whenever I'm in Berlin I'll sure pass by. Thanks a bunch for the most inspiring thread on CA!

[Daniel Andrews]

I cant wait until the day I can acquire some studio space. Its much more comfortable & preferred for me to work where there is allot of Natural Light shining in.
That extra space you have seems much larger that your studio itself. Perhaps a Clothing line/store is in the works. Just a wild guess :)
Best
D

[DannyMuskens]

Jeez! Yeah its a cliche, and yeah I know it has to suck for you that hardly anyone has anything really constructive to say besides, your shit rocks!
Ofcourse I dig your work at Marvel, love the comics you have done there, espescially the Magneto cover, lovely piece!

But, in my opinion where you really shine is how insanely creative you are when it comes down to concepting.
Thats why I absolutely am in love with those Spidey concepts you did,
for some reason no matter how sick the pieces you show in this thread are, they are even head and shoulders above those!

I was looking at those and thinking, why did no one ever come up with that, just like you did with the X-Men.
I think they are bold, creative and different and I hope I am not going to far with saying that
they even should let you do a (fill in superhero name here) "Marko" original.
Let you do the concepting of the super hero in question, the story arcs, and what ever,
because man you do it better then anyone on this planet, even those who originally created them in the first place!

Good luck to you, your life, your son, your wife, and your studio.
And I really gotta drop by and see you studio or lessons with my own eyes, I still regret that I didnt come by
years and years back when you replyed/e-mailed and said I could, I was so psyched about that way back then.
So when I have my own life up and running, and hopefully that is soon, the first thing I am going to do is just that!

Thanks for this post, inspiring as always, I gotta reach my goals like you are doing, or else I am never going to be happy ;) !
So in other words, also thanks for the big kick in the butt, and the huge reminder of what I gotta gotta gotta do!

[Mandryk]

congratulations on everything man - it is well deserved. What a feast of greatness!

[Jason Ross]

Way to go Marko you work looks fantastic. Oh and your artwork looks really good too. Congratulations on your son. That's a lot of "save target as" work I gotta do.

[Ashrumm]

Wow marko this is absolutely an amazing collection of work!! Your contribution to Marvel and the rest of the commercial art world is in my opinionis unprecedented. Keep Up the fantastic work and congratulations on the baby boy!! I wish you, your family, and Sixmorevodka the best.

[Jacfat]

[Chermilla]

Amazing as always, too many great pieces to name! I could look at them for hours!! The Magneto ones with the Nazi's, Schindler's List style going on there with the black and white and red highlights - very nice!! :)

[Dan_Grr]

Great stuff as always.

[Daniel Andrews]

Im a Thor fan through & through. I love what Straczynski, Coipel, and team have been doing to bring Thor back into the front line of Marvel.
Marko, you work in the series had been exciting and a great addition to everything going on in the books. Either it be your interiors or your aid in the covers.
Im looking forward to finding out what gonna happen next. Especially after being sent this image from a friend.

You are ridiculous. THis is some seriously awesome shit. Love the Magneto stuff and almost all of the rest of it. The cable piece is sweet too. WOW.

[Hideyoshi]

outch, can't close my mouth... must have unhinged or something...
:O

congrats to your lovely son! :)

[luness]

Ohh man, it’s so nice to see your latest work. I have been always inspired by your pencil work (the posing, the concept, everything), in fact, it’s what encouraged me to start rendering my sketches and also do a better work when posing my characters and creatures, but now you’re showing more sketches and color pieces and goodness, it’s another giga punch of inspiration to me and surely to many artists out there.
And how about your boy? My best thoughts and wishes for him. Children definitely change our lives in a very special way, I can tell you that by the experience I had taking care of my nephew for several years and also sharing some great and hilarious moments with my two nieces.

And hey, your studio kicks ass! I particularly like the way the colors are placed on the different walls. Framing the window in a brighter color looks pretty cool.

Anyways, keep working hard and thanks so much for sharing your work whenever possible. It’s an honor to have you among us.

Cheers!

thanks

[benzo]

Marko- THANKS for this huge inspiration! Whenever I see your work it really makes me curious about getting into comics. And working harder and really knowing what I want. Once again your annual body of work has blown us away, and I am also so happy for you and your family and your new studio! I am living in A'dam now, and have been hearing great things about Berlin, so when I finally get to visit that city I'll definitely seek SIXMOREVODKA out!!

[airman]

it's just incredible!!O__O

[zimfin]

I know you've heard this all before Marko, but I can say it again. Wow!! I feel inspired tremendously! Thanks for sharing your work with us.

[qlanuknow]

Im big fan! thanks for the inspiration.

[Cassandra]

It's been ages since I don't post here!

First of all, congratulations on your baby and your studio, and all the great stuff you've been drawing over the last years :)

I'm so sad I couldn't see you at the Comic Con here in Madrid... I went there last Saturday, but I didn't even know you would be there, I found it out later :( Maybe next time!

Keep on the good work, you're a great inspiration!

[Grizzliman]

Totally awesome Marko, really love how you draw.
Congratulations with the birth of Adrian. Just a question: did you went to artschool or did yu learned to draw like that al by yourself?

Cheers from Belgium

PS: if I would go to Berlin, I will definately stop by.

[GoldSeven]

Hey Marko, Arne S. just linked this one from the Comicforum - I hadn't seen this stuff and was blown away by your pencils / sequentials most of all. Great stuff, very inspirational! :)

And congrats to that cute, cute kid of yours. ;)

Cheers!

[cbiscuit]

Maybe It's because I don't want to even blink when I look at your stuff, or maybe it's just because it's so beautiful, but one reason or another, your work makes me cry

[Imaginary]

Beyond awesome! :D

[Daniel Andrews]

Hey Marko
Its almost the end of Jan and we still haven't heard anything about that additional space you you got. Im curious, it looks like a pretty big space.
Hehe, I'm just harassing you, its no hurry.
All the best man.

[velinov]

Well... what can I say... you made my day! You have done some really astonishing stuff for a year and I believe that there is many more hidden, awaiting to be uncovered. Greetings Marko! Keep inspiring, man!

Cheers
Svetlin

Hey Marko,

I was in Berlin for a business trip at Feb. 12th-14th and wanted to visit you at six more vodka. But unfortunatey it was closed.

And now I read that you were robbed few days after. Sad story

Next time when I come to berlin (I live in Frankfurt/Main) I hope you will be there.
