THE MARQUIS DIABLERIES 136

Francisco Ruiz Velasco is one of those renaissance types who can do it all! Aside from being an incredible illustrator and concept artist~ (which I got to witness first hand while working with him on Guillermo del Toro's upcoming PACIFIC RIM film and THQ videogame, InSANE), he's pretty much a one man production house! Just check out his own short film, "ABANDONED" to see what he does in his spare time (not that he ever has any, but somehow he's always finding time to work on something more!) 

Case in point, these awesome Marquis drawings! Francisco originally drew the pen and ink version of the Marquis at the brink of Hell~ only to top it with another finished drawing of the Marquis being dragged back into Hell itself, which Francisco calls “ANIMA ABONIMABLE”! Be sure to check out his blog at the link below to see tons more of his incredible art and designs!

The incredible Bradley Wright of Starbreeze Studios did these great Marquis speed paints (only spending just 20 mins on each)! He did six total and I love the mood and motion in them all! Be sure to check out more of his amazing work in his blog~ including the rest of his Marquis speed paints as Bradley has the Marquis face-off against a variety of devils in a foul mood!!

Simon Lee HELL'S COURTESAN sculpt!

The incredible sculptor and concept artist, Simon Lee (also known as Spiderzero) started a new HYPERCREATURES series on his website! A series where he takes different artists creatures and re-imagines them through his amazing sculpts~ and I was thrilled and flattered to find out he chose the Courtesan from the "Hell's Courtesan" 2 part Marquis story as his first reimagination sculpt in the series!!

I had the great pleasure of working with him during the early concept days of Guillermo Del Toro's "Pacific Rim", and it was incredible to see the life and detail, not to mention the character and imagination he brings to all his sculpts and designs! Check out the link below to see more of his amazing Hell's Courtesan sculpture!
