At least one thing remains the same, I'll keep highlighting artists for people to gawk at. One artist I believe I'll always gawk at is Mr. Alex Ross. Mr. Ross revolutionized the painted comic book format with the now-classic mini-series Marvels. This birds-eye take was cemented by the photo-realistic renderings of Mr. Ross and ever since he has been one of the most in-demand illustrators of late. You will find his work not only plastered on many a comic book cover, but also on promotional materials. Most notably in the last few years, his art has graced promotional posters for the Oscars and conceptual material for the movie Unbreakable. Not only are his visuals incredible, but his technique is stunning. Running through what goes into a single image reminds you why he's as good as he is. Check it out.
