I always get a kick out of the sketchbook drawings of the <b>Marquis</b>, where he pops up from an artist who just had an urge to draw the character. Case in point this wonderful sketch of the Marquis by the talented <b>Dana Black</b>, with pistol and sword at the ready to break through the ghostly confines of the ruled paper! Be sure to check out Dana's FaceBook group to see more of his cool energetic art!<br />

A look at some more sketches for the upcoming "<b>Marquis and the Midwife</b>"~ the Ministry of Inquisition goes under construction and gets a face-lift, surrounding the main tower with more spires in hopes of warding off the crimes and sin of Venisalle. Top is the rough sketchbook drawings of the initial re-design with a warm up drawing at the bottom showing the Marquis overlooking the city as the Ministry looms in the distance!GUY DAVIShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12100062829322800607noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127028717650606019.post-13812924099406322132012-08-05T22:46:00.002-04:002012-08-05T22:46:43.943-04:00THE MARQUIS DIABLERIES 151<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I was thrilled to learn that last week, the <b>Marquis</b> was chosen as the subject for <b>Ten Ton Studios</b> weekly sketch challenge~ where different artists draw their rendition of the character before voting on a winner in their forums! And the winner of the Marquis challenge was this amazing drawing by <b>Matt Horak</b> of the Marquis fighting a mass of devils that drive him towards Hell! Along with more of Matt's cool work on his blog, be sure to check out the link to Ten Ton Studios below to see the rest of the incredible Marquis artwork from everyone who participated in the challenge!<br />

The wonderful <b>Eve-the-Strange</b> is back with another great <b>Marquis</b> piece, as a huge tentacled devil lays fallen before the Marquis' bloodied sword!

I've also had people noticing that the upcoming "<b>MARQUIS and the MIDWIFE</b>" graphic novel has already been listed on a few places as coming out this month, unfortunately that's a mistake (not sure why or how those dates were posted). I'm currently still working on the content and there's been no solicitations for the new book yet~ but check back for updates, as soon as it's done and ready for print you'll hear it here first!<br />

More amazing <b>Marquis</b> cosplay, this time the artist Marquis <b>Celia Cheung </b>(The Winterkings) was found hunting through the convention floors of the 2012 Calgary Expo for any lurking devils! Celia's wonderful Marquis robes and clothing were created by professional jouster and costumer <i><a href="http://sweet-threads.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Alison Mercer</a></i> (you can see more of her amazing period costuming at the link) and her mask by sculptor <i><a href="http://www.pushingredbuttons.net/" target="_blank">Jesse Sinclair</a></i>! The pistols and sword were also custom made and will be featured in an upcoming Diableries for a closer look!<br />

I haven't gotten to many comic conventions since last year, but the <b>Marquis</b> has been recently spotted haunting the convention floor! I met the Marquis <b>Chris Dimoff</b> in his amazing costume at the 2011 Emerald City Convention and even though I missed this years show, the Marquis returned!<br />
<br />
These wonderful photos of Chris in costume were taken at the 2012 Emerald City Comic Con, the top portrait by Seattle photographer <i><a href="http://bermanphotos.wordpress.com/2012/04/01/emerald-city-comic-con-2012-photos-seattle-editorial-photographer/" target="_blank">Daniel Berman</a></i> (be sure to check out his link for more great shots of the show!) And the Marquis below, with his pistol locked on an approaching devilish convention goer (and whoever designed those curtains) taken by<i> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/architecturegeek/7036616105/" target="_blank">Trevor Dykstra</a></i>!<br />

Some more quick sketches done for the upcoming <b>"Marquis and the Midwife"</b> graphic novel showing a few background settings to the streets of <i>Venisalle</i>. I've always thought that the setting of a story is as important as the characters themselves, and I've tried to make the streets that the <b>Marquis</b> haunts as much of a character as any in the book. For these sketches, the focus was more on mood and composition with the surface details of the baroque architecture tightened up and filled in when redrawn for the finished page.<br />
