I've recently discovered the art of Marcio Takara due to his work on last year's
The Flash Annual #1. Doing a quick google image search of his work, I found this impressive piece collecting one hundred heroic characters from comics and video games.

His character portraits are very stylish and "bright", and has a very
Young Justice animated style. His contribution to the Flash annual, which is only three pages, is a lot more straightforward: very simple panel construction and layout, which is different from the Francis Manapul style that makes
The Flash one of the Top 5 best books of the New 52.

| Seriously, Rob Liefeld, you couldn't even draw feet this simple? |
Takara has also drawn issues from the New 52
Blue Beetle series, Mark Waid's
Incorruptible and
The Incredibles: Family Matters. Dude has got some artistic chops and I wouldn't mind seeing him get more high profile work from DC or Marvel. I certainly would have no problem with him drawing a
Birds of Prey issue if the below image is any indication of how he'd depict Dinah.

How'd you get that hi-res version of Dinah from the 100 tiny pictures picture? Is there a really high resolution version of the 100 tiny pictures thing somewhere?
ReplyDeleteI don't remember. I think I found that version online but I can't remember where and I can't find it with a google images search anywhere but this blog. It's possible I cropped it and resized it, but I can't remember how. I just tried to redo it and it didn't work. If I find out where/how I got it and can do it for other characters, I'll let you know.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, thanks! I've found some other upscaled pictures from the original but most appear to have been taken down unfortunately.
