Artist profile: marko djurdjevic

After seeing the video on comics i tried to think of a recent artist whose work i really admired. Someone that immediately came to mind is Marko Djurdjevic. Before i get into his background ill link some of his work.

 I came across this artist on the forum conceptart.org while following his finished work thread. I also knew his work from massive black studios. Now for a little back story.

Marko Djurdjević is a german concept artist and illustrator of serbian decent. He currently works for marvel comics and has a large body of work including interior artwork, cover art, character designs, and promotional work. He lives in berlin with his wife Jelena Kevic Djurdjevic. Marko, while working in germany, was convinced by a friend to upload work to conceptart.org, which at the time was a new art community. He was immediatly noticed by the founders of the community jason manley and andrew jones. The two had been in the process of networking to form a comany devoted to producing concept art for game and films. Marko was offered a position as senior concept artist and subsequently became one of the founding memvers of massive black studios.

While working at massive black marko produced several redesigns for prominent marvel characters. After the work was seen by the general public on conceptart.org he was flooded with responses, both good and bad. The work happened to be seen by an editor at marvel comics who offered marko a job producing covers.
