Creator Chronicles: Joe Jusko DVD preview (revised)

Note: Revised preview in better quality, revised links and new company name!

Joe Jusko is a renowned comic and fantasy artist/painter, widely known for his detailed, realistic depictions of comic book characters, barbarians, and lush jungle settings, often with women and big cats.

In the first part of this special DVD, Joe sits down with us to talk about his prolific 30 year career in comics and fantasy art. We cover his entire career, from his start with Heavy Metal, to his Savage Sword of Conan covers, to his groundbreaking work on the Marvel Masterpieces and Edgar Rice Borroughs painted card sets, and to the amazing fully-painted Vampirella and Tomb Raider comics.

Then, for the first and only time on camera, Joe gives an amazing tutorial as he paints an entire piece from start to finish! Originally recorded over 5 days, this fascinating look into Joe's creative process features 2 audio tracks and a wealth of information including how to handle skin tones, realistic lighting, making "organic" details such as hair look right, as well as numerous tips and techniques on everything from how to make textures, to close-up detail work, to using shadows to heighten realism.

This video shows his entire process, from sketch to final painting, and it is an absolute master class from one of the very best to ever pick up a brush.
